Automobile Fueling
PDC specializes in providing compressors for refueling internal combustion engines and fuel cell powered vehicles. Models are available for applications ranging from single auto demo sites to full-scale production sites designed to fuel 25 and more vehicles per day. PDC offers engineered systems that are compatible with typical compressor inlet and discharge conditions for most fueling applications. Inlet pressures of 100-200 Psi (0.7-1.4 MPa) and discharge pressures of 3600, 7000, 12,000 and 15,000 Psi (25, 48, 83, 103 MPa) are available with flow rates from 50 to 2000 SCFH (1 to 54 Nm3/hr). Suction source can be from generators, reformers or tube trailers.

Residential, Power Generation and Telecommunications
PDC offers a compact single stage model which can take 145 Psi (1 MPa) suction to 6,500 Psi (45 MPa) discharge with a flow rate of 1 Nm3 /hr, with power consumption of less than 1.5 KW. This model does not require any water for cooling. Noise level is below 85 dBA at one meter. The footprint is approximately 18” x 18” x 36” high [457 x 457 x 914mm]. The weight is 550 pounds (250 Kg.). Many customers incorporate this compressor in their portable cabinets along with their electrolyzers, reformers, cylinders, storage, fuel cells and electrical gears as a complete power producer.
Compact hydrogen compressors are ideal for portable cabinets.
Life cycle testing of metal hydrides and on board tanks
PDC compressors provide high-pressure compression of fuel gases for life cycle testing of metal hydrides and on-board tanks.
