The maintenance of these hydrogen-cooled turbo generators also leads to one of the more exciting features of hydrogen: its ability to combust in air at hydrogen concentrations between 4% and 74%.

Hydrogen cooled generators also have less windage/friction loss than air-cooled generators. Windage, which is caused by friction between the hydrogen and the rotor, can account for 30-40 percent ...

Hydrogen is the overwhelming medium of choice for providing cooling to high-speed turbine generators. Hydrogen has a high heat capacity and therefore removes excess heat efficiently. Hydrogen also ...

For every 1% of air trapped in a generator casing cooled by hydrogen, there is 250kW drop in electricity production. Since carbon dioxide is 22 times as dense as hydrogen, it has an even bigger impact ...

The hydrogen gas is then cooled and has a purity of 97%. The generator runs at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. The byproduct of the generator water and recyclable aluminum leftover.

Depending on the rated capacity of the generator, it might be air-cooled, hydrogen-cooled, water-cooled, or, in the largest capacity generators, a combination of water for the stator windings and ...

Honda was among the earliest champions of hydrogen tech, unveiling its first fuel cell concept more than three decades ago and releasing the Clarity Fuel Cell sedan in the mid-2010s. But despite years ...

EODev’s compact REXH2 hydrogen generator is built around Toyota’s latest generation of fuel cells. Courtesy EODev The company said additional tanks could be added to offer extended range.
