HCP 500 – Hydrogen Compressor Package
Achieve high mass flow hydrogen compression
Hydrogen is a key element in the green energy transition by significantly contributing to the decarbonization of the industry. To allow wide use of hydrogen the equipment must evolve into industrialized and efficient solutions, enabling you to meet your total cost of ownership expectations for hydrogen compression. Our technology provides you with the most cost-effective and reliable high-pressure hydrogen compression solution on the market. One standardized compressor package that can operate with different kinds of hydrogen supplies.

The transport and storage of the molecule will be a central issue of the future hydrogen economy, regardless of the type of transport and subsequent storage. The HCP 500 is a compressor solution that enables flexible filling and withdrawal of hydrogen from a wide variety of sources, enabling efficient transportation and storage solutions for hydrogen applications. The standardized but application-tailored compressor package from HOERBIGER allows the extraction of hydrogen for:
- Pipelines
- Trailers
- Storage cylinders
- Cascade storage tanks
- Electrolysers

Yes, the compressor is oil-free. We guarantee that the wear of our sealing elements doesn’t degrade the quality of H2.
~72 m2 incl. maintenance and service area.
The design suction pressure is 25 bar. A suction pressure range from 15 – 275 bar is possible. The discharge pressure is maximum 500 bar, but flexible in a range from 50 to 500 bar.
At design conditions the mass flow is 250 kg/h. Based on the supply and discharge condition the mass flow can be in a range of 180 kg/h to 300 kg/h.
The compressor responds almost instantly to load changes with our eHydroCOM HD stepless control system. That’s particularly useful to stabilize the backpressure in mbar range for electrolysis.
CE (EU Declaration of Conformity), ATEX (2014/34/EU), Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU), Machinery Directive (2006/42/EG), Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU), Hydrogen Quality (SAE J2719), Hydrogen Piping (EN 13480, EN 10204), and many others.
HAZOP / HAZID study according to EN 61511, SIL Verification according to ISO 13849-2 and IEC 62061, Hazardous area classification / drawing, Explosion protection documentation / design, H2 Piping – stress analysis, TVA (Tortional Vibration Analysis), Skid and foundation engineering according to but not only API 684-2 and DIN ISO 20816, Heat exchanger engineering concerning a fail-safe design according to API 250 and API 521, and many others.
Yes, we offer complete maintenance of the Hydrogen Compressor Package that is supported by our global service organization: 1000+ employees in 44 countries and 71 locations.
