Hydrogen booster systems for refueling and testing
Case Details
Hydrogen projects need more than a booster. They need a package that matches the gas supply, required pressure, flow demand, and site layout. In addition, the piping, valves, hoses, and test equipment must work together.
We design and integrate hydrogen booster systems for refueling and high-pressure applications. Our scope covers equipment supply, installation, commissioning, training, after-sales service, and spare parts. We also provide high-pressure piping engineering and system upgrades.
From early planning to site handover, we help buyers define a clear equipment scope and select a practical system.
Hydrogen System Design and Integration
A clear design basis helps prevent gaps between the booster package and the equipment around it. Therefore, system selection starts with your operating needs.
We review the hydrogen inlet pressure, target outlet pressure, required flow, operating cycle, and available utilities. Site space and connection points also guide the package layout.
Our supply and engineering scope includes:
-
Hydrogen refueling station booster system design.
-
High-pressure hydrogen piping and leak test systems.
-
Cylinder and cylinder valve test equipment.
-
High-pressure hydrogen valves.
-
Rigid hydrogen tubing and flexible hose assemblies.
-
Installation, commissioning, operator training, and service support.
Buyers can combine these services into one project scope or request support for a specific upgrade.
Pneumatic and Hydraulic Hydrogen Booster Options
We offer hydrogen booster configurations with pneumatic or hydraulic drives. Both types can be configured for single-stage or two-stage compression, depending on the application.
| Configuration | Main selection points |
| Pneumatic drive | Available compressed air, required gas flow, operating cycle, and installation needs |
| Hydraulic drive | Hydraulic power supply, flow demand, cooling needs, and operating hours |
| Single-stage compression | Hydrogen inlet pressure and required pressure increase |
| Two-stage compression | Overall compression ratio, inlet pressure range, and thermal management |
The choice depends on the full operating range. For example, a package must meet the required duty as the hydrogen supply pressure changes.
For this reason, pressure and flow should be reviewed together. The quotation should state the operating conditions used to select the booster.

Oil-Free Gas Compression and Seal Design
Hydrogen cleanliness is a key consideration for fuel cell applications. Our booster packages use gas-side sealing arrangements designed for oil-free compression and separation from the drive section.
However, the drive type still matters. A hydraulic booster uses a hydraulic power source, while an air-driven booster uses compressed air. Electrical needs for controls and auxiliary equipment depend on the final package.
During selection, buyers should define the inlet gas quality and required outlet quality. This gives the project team a clear basis for reviewing materials, seals, cleaning, and handling requirements.
High-Pressure Hydrogen Piping, Valves, and Hoses
A matched flow path helps simplify installation and maintenance. Accordingly, our scope includes high-pressure hydrogen piping, valves, and hoses alongside the booster package.
The offered piping arrangements use compression fittings or threaded connections. These can reduce the need for site welding within the agreed scope.
Component selection should account for:
-
Working pressure and temperature.
-
Suitability for hydrogen service.
-
Required flow and permitted pressure loss.
-
Connection size and fitting type.
-
Hose routing and movement.
-
Access for inspection and replacement.
Rigid tubing can serve fixed routes, while flexible hoses can support connections that need movement or easier access. The final assembly rating depends on the ratings of all its parts.
Hydrogen Leak, Strength, Fatigue, and Burst Testing
We supply hydrogen cylinder and valve test systems for leak, strength, fatigue, and burst test applications. We also provide leak test systems for high-pressure hydrogen piping.
Each test has a different purpose. A leak test checks sealing performance, while a fatigue test examines the effect of repeated loading. A burst test measures failure under increasing pressure.
Therefore, test equipment should be selected around the component and the required test method. Buyers should specify the test medium, pressure range, cycle requirements, measurement needs, and reporting format.
These details help define the equipment scope without assuming that one test setup covers every task.
Compact Packages and Service Access
Our hydrogen booster systems are available in movable cabinet or frame arrangements. This supports transport, positioning, and access for routine service.
Package features include pressure protection through safety valves and layouts intended to make connections and maintenance easier.
Before ordering, confirm the installation footprint, lifting or handling method, service clearances, utility connections, and ventilation interfaces. These details help the package fit the site and its operating plan.
Installation, Training, and After-Sales Support
Our project support services extend from design and integration to installation and commissioning. We also provide training, after-sales service, spare parts support, and high-pressure system modifications.
For purchasing teams, defining this scope early makes supplier comparisons clearer. The quotation should identify what is included, what the site must provide, and which tasks require separate agreement.
For existing installations, share the current equipment details and the required change. This helps establish whether the project needs a booster upgrade, new piping, added test equipment, or a wider system modification.
Request a Hydrogen Booster System Quotation
Send your hydrogen application, inlet pressure range, required outlet pressure, flow demand, operating hours, and gas quality requirements. Also include available utilities, site conditions, connection details, and any test or documentation requirements.
We can then review a suitable booster configuration, related components, and service scope for your project. A clear specification gives your purchasing and engineering teams a stronger basis for evaluating the proposed system.
