Questions buyers ask
What capacity and discharge pressure does it actually deliver?
This unit delivers a maximum discharge pressure of 6,000 PSIG (414 Bar) from an inlet pressure of 70 to 140 PSIG. Flow capacity is rated at 33.6 kg/hr at 80°F, up to 46 SCFM at minimum pressure, and up to 82 SCFM at 3,000 PSIG discharge. Note that capacity decreases as discharge pressure rises—this is typical for positive displacement hydrogen compressors, where volumetric efficiency drops with higher compression ratios.
What drive, power and cooling does it require?
The compressor is driven by a 60 HP NEMA Class 1 Division 2 TEFC motor requiring 460V, 3-phase, 60Hz power, with 120V, 1-phase, 60Hz control power. It requires 15 GPM of cooling water at 60–80°F and operates in ambient temperatures from 50–100°F. A full-voltage motor starter in a NEMA 4 enclosure is included.
What should I inspect on a used compressor before buying?
Check valve condition by running the unit and monitoring discharge pressure stability and flow delivery—valve leakage is the most common failure mode on reciprocating hydrogen compressors. Inspect packing and seals for leakage, verify the gas aftercooler for tube integrity and fouling, and confirm the oil reservoir heater and cooling system function properly. Review maintenance records and request valve assembly history, as hydrogen service accelerates wear on seats and springs compared to other gases.

Inspection, shipping & payment
Inspection
Pre-purchase inspections are welcome during normal business hours by appointment arranged in advance. We can provide complimentary transportation from DFW Airport and back if you would like to send someone to see the equipment in person. We can also walk through the item over a video call for domestic or international buyers. We are on US Central Time.
Shipping and loading
The equipment is located at our yard south of Dallas, Texas. We can assist with shipping arrangements.
Loading is provided at no charge for equipment under 15,000 lb when scheduled in advance. Equipment over 15,000 lb requires a crane, which is arranged and paid for by the buyer.
Payment
Payment in full is required FOB our yard in South Dallas. A verifiable cashier's check is accepted for collection in person. For release to a third-party shipper we require a wire transfer cleared in our account before the equipment leaves the yard.
