Increasing the Energy Efficiency of Gas Boosters for Hydrogen Storage and for Refueling Stations

A new electrically driven gas booster is described as an alternative to the classical air-driven boosters known for their poor energetic efficiency. These are used in small scale Hydrogen storage facilities and refueling stations vehicles. In such applications overall energy count of significance must include efficiency compression stage. The proposed system uses electric motor instead pneumatic actuator increases total process. Two mechanical principles studied transformation rotational motion linear displacement compressor pistons. strongly fluctuating power smoothed by active capacitive auxiliary device connected DC circuit converter. has been verified numeric simulation, including thermodynamic phenomena, kinetics drive operation circuits smoothing system.
