Turbocharging green transportation

Standard or custom high-speed turbo compressors facilitate controlled intake of clean oxygen or air, a critical component in the chemical reactions of propulsion systems of cell-powered off-highway and aerial vehicles and other clean energy solutions. These machines are defined by compactness, long service life, high efficiency, reduced size and weight. Versatile across pressure ratios, mass flows, and working media, they excel in diverse conditions. The fluid-film gas bearings eliminate contamination risks by lubricants and oils and ensure clean compression of various gaseous media.

Fluid systems serving evolving transportation and production infrastructures, including airports, off-highway and automotive facilities, and liquid hydrogen production, demand specialized turbomachinery. Hydrogen's distinctive properties, such as its low density and high energy content, present unique design challenges, particularly in the mechanical aspects of turbomachinery. These challenges arise from high-energy levels, leading to elevated stress levels in rotating components due to increased velocities. Nonetheless, hydrogen fluid systems can be effectively modeled, particularly under moderate temperature and pressure conditions, making them adaptable for various applications.
