Large & small hydrogen compressors for any application

Thanks to their leak- & contaminant- free design, our hermetically sealed compressors stand out as the best choice for hydrogen fueling stations and hydrogen recovery systems. Manufactured in house, we design our hydrogen compressors using static metal seals to be safe & reliable up to 7,000 and 10,000 psig working pressures; they are leak free, contamination free, and corrosion resistant. For other gasses (see a list below), we can reach compression of more than 30,000psig working pressure.

During manufacture, we carefully test and inspect every component of the compressor to ensure it meets or exceeds performance and safety standards. For custom designs, we also ensure we meet our partner’s specifications. We can customize large or small hydrogen compressors for any application. 

We pride ourselves on our dedication to our customers and provide maintenance service and troubleshooting for all our compressors.

We scrutinize every part manufactured and ensure our compressors meet or exceed performance and safety standards as well as fulfill our customer’s specifications. Our staff has over 35 years of experience in compression and high pressure applications. We provide maintenance and troubleshooting for all our compressors. We even customize and improve existing systems. Here at Fluitron, we pride ourselves on providing our customers with the highest quality system and support for their application. Our highly trained and experienced engineers are always available to ensure specifications are met and customers are satisfied.

Why specify our diaphragm compressor?

Leak Free

Unlike other reciprocating compressors which use dynamic seals, our diaphragm compressors use static seals which minimized leakage from the compressor. This enables minimization of leakage up to rates of 1 x 10-8 scc/sec or better at full operating pressures. We customize the seal based on your specified process gas. For highly critical applications, we use metal-to-metal seals. Otherwise, elastomeric “O” rings are used for applications where “bubble tight” control is sufficient.

Contamination Free

Fluitron’s compressors do not use lubricants or coolants in the process gas stream, thereby eliminating the possibility of contamination of the process gas with any liquid. For practical purposes the gas leaving the compressor is as pure as the gas entering the compressor, which is fantastic for handling the purest bottled gases.

High Compression Ratio

Our units can achieve more than 30,000 psi working pressure, far beyond the capability of most other oil free or non-lubricated compressors.

Automatic Leak Detection

In the event of a diaphragm rupture or seal failure, our diaphragm compressors will automatically detect the leak and engage a control system as specified. In the event of a failure, the failure is indicated and leakage to the atmosphere and contamination of the process gas is minimized.
