Hydrogen Liquefier for the demonstration operation
川崎重工：出售氢液化器：5吨/天，用于1,000辆FCV
川崎重工
6月10日，宣布氢液化机将开始销售。
它是在负253度的极低温度下液化氢气的设备。
它是国内第一家出售氢液化机的制造商。
氢气液化器：性能
液态氢的日产量为5吨。
它相当于1,000辆燃料电池汽车（FCV）的燃料。
在川崎重工/播磨工厂（兵库县播磨市），进行了超过3000小时的连续演示操作和功能测试。
收集各种数据并确认其可靠性。
加氢站：
将来，将提议给加氢站运营商和使用氢气的工业气体公司。
川崎重工也在开发用于液氢的大型储罐。
今后氢相关产品的年销售额目标将超过1000亿日元。

Kawasaki Commences Sales of Hydrogen Liquefier
～ Performance and reliability demonstrated by long-term continuous operation for over 3,000 hours ～
Tokyo, June 10, 2020 –
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.
announced today that it started selling of the hydrogen liquefier which was the first developed by made-in-Japan technologies with industry-leading liquefaction efficiency.
Hydrogen
is a clean energy that does not generate greenhouse gases when used as a fuel for power generation or fuel cell vehicles etc., and is expected to be used about 300,000 tons per year※1 around 2030.
Focusing on the property of hydrogen, which becomes 1/800 in volume by liquefying at minus 253°C, Kawasaki engaged in research and development of liquefaction technology.
The hydrogen liquefier
has demonstrated its performance and reliability through continuous demonstration operation for over 3,000 hours and various functional tests carried out until this spring.
The main features are as follows;
Capability of producing 5 tons of liquefied hydrogen per day (equivalent to 1,000 FCVs’ fuel)
Industry-leading liquefaction efficiency※2, of which key factors are a heat exchange cycle and liquefaction process developed by ourselves utilizing our technology cultivated in the development of high-speed rotating machines such as gas turbines for power generation and jet engines for aircraft
Production of high purity hydrogen at 99.999%※3 and realization of easy maintenance, which have been realized since inclusion of impurities are eliminated in the hydrogen liquefaction process
Compact layout due to the vertical structure of the liquefier (earthquake-resistant design)
Prompt start of liquefaction within 24 hours※4 after start-up of the plant
In addition, Kawasaki has many related technologies such as
storage tanks and transport containers with high heat insulation performance for storing liquefied hydrogen.
It enables to provide engineering and procurement for not only hydrogen liquefier but also hydrogen liquefaction plant.
