Predictive analysis of temperature and energy features of medium-pressure process hydrogen compressors based on long-stroke piston stages

The article considers the issues related to the prospects for implementing promising hydrogen compression technologies at large chemical, oil and gas processing plants using single- or multi-stage compressors based on low-speed long-stroke piston stages. The development and implementation of new technologies is one of the most urgent areas of development of the domestic compressor industry, ensuring the technological safety of a number of industries, including those related to the processing of natural resources. In developing the technical design of the proposed hydrogen compressor and analyzing its features, the need to ensure a safe temperature regime is considered as the dominant prerequisite.
The calculations use a repeatedly tested mathematical model of the working processes of the compressor stage with a combined schematization — a quasi-stationary model of working processes with concentrated parameters in the flow part and a non-stationary model of the heat transfer through the walls of the working chamber with boundary conditions of the third type. The authors demonstrate the high efficiency of using low-speed piston stages in hydrogen compressor units, also including booster stages.
