Abstract
The invention relates to a compression arrangement for compressing hydrogen, having at least eight compressors of a first type which, on the inlet side, are fluidically connected to a hydrogen inlet line, at least two compressors of a second type which, on the inlet side, are fluidically connected to the outlet of the compressors of the first type, at least one compressor of a third type which, on the inlet side, is fluidically connected to the outlet of the compressors of the second type, at least one compressor of a fourth type which, on the inlet side, is fluidically connected to the outlet of the compressor of the third type.
Claims14
A compression arrangement for compressing hydrogen, comprising:
- a first number of compressors of a first type, wherein the compressors of the first type each have a first inflow region, which are designed to be flowed into by a first partial inlet volume flow, wherein the compressors of the first type each have a first outflow region, which are designed to be flowed out of by a first partial outflow volume flow;
- and a second number of compressors of a second type, wherein the compressors of the second type each have a second inflow region which is designed to be flowed into by a second partial inlet volume flow, wherein the compressors of the second type each have a second outflow region which is designed to be flowed out of by a second partial outflow volume flow, wherein the second inflow regions of the compressors of the second type are fluidically connected to the first outflow regions of the compressors of the first type;
- at least eight compressors of the first type, which are fluidically connected on an input side to a hydrogen input line;
- at least two compressors of the second type, which are fluidically connected on the input side to an output of the compressors of the first type;
- at least one compressor of a third type, which is fluidically connected on the input side to the output of the compressors of the second type;
- and
- at least one compressor of a fourth type, which is fluidically connected on the input side to the output of the compressor of the third type,
- wherein the compressors of the first type, the compressors of the second type, the compressors of the third type and the compressors of the fourth type differ with regard to their pressure ratio.
