Forklift fleet filling station

Introduction:

The project in question was commissioned by Client with the aim of developing the first hydrogen refuelling station for the forklift fleet, eliminating CO2 and general greenhouse gas emissions from the fleet
across the area.

Customer request:

  • Suction pressure: 5 bar
  • Delivery pressure: 350 bar
  • Maximum flow rate (@ 5 bar): 15 Scm/h, meaning around 1.3 kg/h

APPLICATION

Hydrogen

COUNTRY

Italy

SOLUTION

Private fleet filling station

Advantages and features of the SAFE solution:

We provided a complete compression solution:

  • Electrolyser
  • Compressor unit, TDE/H
  • series
  • Storage unit
    Dispenser

A compact solution, containerised in a 12-metre, reinforced concrete package, where the entire system from generation to storage, including the electrical control and command panel, was installed.

A flexible and efficient solution capable of generating, compressing, storing and distributing hydrogen. The TDH13 hydro-mechanical compressor unit, coupled with an 11 kW electric motor, is top-in-class in terms of efficiency and flexibility: the wide pressure range (4 to 350 bar) in which it operates, the low number of cycles and the very low energy consumption result in low total cost of ownership (TCO) over the entire life cycle of the compressor unit.

A “green” solution: the Distance piece at atmospheric pressure and the two sets of seals on the gas and oil side ensure that the gas handled is pure, without any contamination.
