What is the structure of an oil-free hydrogen compressor?

The oil-free hydrogen compressor is the main body of the gas source device. It is a device that converts the mechanical energy of the prime mover (usually an electric motor) into gas pressure energy, and is a pressure generating device for compressed air.

What is an oil-free hydrogen compressor?

Oil-free hydrogen compressors refer to compressors that do not use lubricating oil in the compressor cylinder. The crankcase of the oil-free compressor is a dry structure, and the large and small holes of the connecting rod and the front and rear main bearings of the crankshaft generally use double-port sealed grease-containing ball bearings. Since there is no lubricating oil in contact with the compressed air source during operation, the discharged gas does not contain oil and gas, so it is very popular among users. However, the grease sealed in the bearing will evaporate and oxidize and decompose due to the increase of temperature in the long-term operation, and the thickener in the grease will also deteriorate and lose the thickening effect. Due to the change of grease properties, the use effect drops sharply. If new oil is not added in time, it will directly damage the bearing and even the machine.

What is the future development trend of hydrogen compressor?

Some hydrogen compressors are used to increase the hydrogen pressure for heat treatment of steel, and some use working conditions to use circulating hydrogen as a raw material for industrial reactions, and the hydrogen compressor provides continuous hydrogen pressure for the reactor. In the future, hydrogen compressors will be more used in hydrogen fuel cells to pressurize hydrogen to high pressure and inject it into hydrogen vehicles to obtain clean, green, and pollution-free energy.

Due to the change of grease properties, the use effect drops sharply. If new oil is not added in time, it will directly damage the bearing and even the machine. In addition, grease also has a certain working period, coupled with poor operating conditions, which will affect the service life of the grease. Therefore, after the oil-free hydrogen compressor has been used for a period of time, it should be considered to add new grease to the bearing.
