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.
Claims17
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 compressor of a second type,
- wherein the compressor of the second type has a second inflow region which is designed to be flowed into by a second partial inlet volume flow,
- wherein the compressor of the second type has a second outflow region which is designed to be flowed out of by a second partial outflow volume flow,
- wherein the second inflow region of the compressor of the second type is fluidically connected to the first outflow regions of the compressors of the first type,
- characterized in that
- the number and a pressure ratio of the compressors of the first type and of the second type is such that a sum of the first partial outflow volume flows corresponds to the first partial inlet volume flow.
