Product Overview
Ariel KBH is a vertically oriented reciprocating compressor engineered for hydrogen mobility and hydrogen transport applications. The non-lubricated cylinder design preserves gas purity while advanced materials and a four-stage configuration deliver consistent high-flow compression and operational reliability.

Real World Applications

• Transportation & Storage - Compression for hydrogen transport and storage across the value chain; suitable for trailer loading, intermediate storage and bulk transfer.
• Hydrogen Mobility - Meets technical requirements for hydrogen fueling stations serving heavy-duty vehicles including trucks and buses; optimized for station integration and throughput.

Key Features

• Vertically oriented reciprocating compressor design
• Non-lubricated cylinders to maintain high gas purity
• Capable of full non-reversing loads
• High-flow compression tailored for hydrogen applications
• Advanced materials for optimal compression efficiency and reliability

Benefits At A Glance

• Flexibility - Designed for maximum operational flexibility and a high degree of standardization to simplify deployment.
• Efficiency - 500 bar discharge at 250 kg/h reduces station footprint and can replace multiple diaphragm-style compressors for comparable throughput.
• Reliability - Engineered for long service life with robust mechanical design and quality materials.
