Welcome to Sundyne’s blog – our goal is to share information (at varying levels of detail) to provide insight on pumps, compressors and the aftermarket parts & services that can help Sundyne’s customers get more out of their process equipment investments.
How Do Hydrogen Fuel Cells Work?
What are Hydrogen Fuel Cells?
Hydrogen fuel cells produce electricity in a similar way that lithium-ion battery cells power electric cars – but Hydrogen fuel cells do not run down or need recharging.
Like a battery, a Hydrogen fuel cell consists of two electrodes: a negative electrode (or anode) and a positive electrode (or cathode)—sandwiched around a polymer electrolyte membrane.
The Basics: Centrifugal Gas Compressors 101
Centrifugal compressors move gas from point A to point B. They’re also used to increase gas pressures. A good example comes from the power generation industry. In power plants, gas turbines require gas inputs to be approximately 250-750 psig – but interstate pipelines move gas at pressures of just 30-125 psig. In order to run turbines in an optimal fashion, the pressure of the gas inputs must be boosted – and centrifugal compressors are used to do this.
