Description
Hydrogen Compressor ( 120 psi to 4500 psi @ 415scfm) H2 Compressor, low hours
This is a 2003 Greenfield C3T210.3-H2 hydrogen compressor with less than 100 hours of testing time. It compresses hydrogen from 120 PSIG suction to 4500 PSIG discharge at 415 SCFM and was originally purchased for a project that never received permits, so it has never been installed or put into service. The unit includes a control/starter panel, engineering drawings, and some service and maintenance parts, and can be sold as-is or fully refurbished through a third-party provider at additional cost.
We have control/starter panel for the compressor, engineering drawings and some service / maintenance parts. The C3T compressors are one of the most reliable machines build by Sulzer / Greenfield. With thousands of units in the field supporting different high-pressure gas uses (cng, hydrogen, helium, nitrogen) C3T consider to be strong block / platform. As of today, Greenfield is a part of Atlas Capco group of companies and C3T units are still actively serviced and part supported by Atlas Capco network of technicians.
This unit has a 50% turn down ration, meaning you can run it at 50% of its capacity with an ability to crank up the compression as needed.

Questions buyers ask
What capacity and discharge pressure does it actually deliver?
This unit delivers 415 SCFM (±5% tolerance) at 4500 PSIG discharge pressure from a 120 PSIG suction. It has a 50% turndown ratio, allowing operation at reduced capacity with the ability to increase output as demand changes.
What drive, power and cooling does it require?
The compressor requires a minimum 200 HP motor and runs at 1045 RPM, with calculated shaft power at 195 HP under the specified operating conditions. The listing does not specify cooling requirements; ask the seller for cooling system details, water or air requirements, and whether cooling equipment is included.
What are the running hours and what has been rebuilt?
The unit has less than 100 hours of testing time and was never installed or put into service after the original project failed to receive permits. No rebuilds have been performed—this is essentially a new machine that has been in storage since 2003.
What should I inspect on a used compressor before buying?
Even with low hours, inspect all seals, gaskets, and O-rings for degradation from storage, verify cylinder bore condition and valve seat integrity, and check that the control panel functions properly. On hydrogen compressors specifically, examine piston rings and rod packing for any signs of embrittlement, confirm lubrication system cleanliness, and verify that all pressure relief devices and instrumentation are within calibration dates—storage often causes more deterioration than light running.
