REDEFINING HYDROGEN
COMPRESSION FOR THE NET ZERO ERA
Hydrogen has the potential to power a cleaner, greener future — but its widespread adoption depends on solving one of the biggest hidden challenges: efficient, reliable, and scalable compression.
Today’s incumbent diaphragm and mechanical compressors are complex, costly to maintain, prone
to failure during intermittent use, and inefficient at managing heat — especially under fluctuating operating conditions.
CATAGEN’s ClimaHtech Compressor breaks through these barriers. By removing mechanical interference and replacing it with a proprietary liquid piston architecture, we’ve designed a simpler, more flexible system that lowers energy use, reduces operating cost — all while utilising standard componentry and handling pressures from 30 to 700 bar.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Patent Protected Liquid Piston Hydrogen Compressor
At the heart of the ClimaHtech Compressor is a hybrid liquid piston design, delivering best-in-class thermodynamic efficiency with concurrent cooling and compression in a compact footprint.
Compared to traditional technology, the ClimaHtech COMPRESS system uses pumped liquid to compress hydrogen directly. This innovation reduces the challenges of mechanical wear and downtime, and eliminates overheating.
Key Innovations
This patented approach — developed by ClimaHtech COMPRESS’s leading team of engineers in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and advanced control systems — is ready to scale.
In-process Cooling:
Liquid piston design supports high surface area heat rejection with no mechanical interferences.
Flexible Compression Ratio & Rates:
Intelligent controls allow real-time tuning to optimise for energy efficiency and performance.
Active Hydrogen Dispensing:
Dispenses hydrogen out of storage tanks at exact target pressure using the liquid piston. Ideal for H2 refuelling.
Compact, Modular Design:
Built for static installations, mobile systems, and multi-stage refuelling scenarios.
We’ll showcase these results in action — watch the video on-site featuring real test data and the compressor in operation
