Fuel Cell Compressor Gen3
Unlock peak performance for fuel cell applications with Garrett’s Fuel Cell Compressor Gen3. This new generation is offering higher efficiency, compact design, and an integrated inverter.
Modular FC compressor: Optional Turbine
This generation of product combined the knowledge of our base turbocharger business for aerodynamics, our new high-speed motor experience, and oil-free bearing experience. Capable of more than 150,000 RPM, our fuel cell compressor delivers leading performance and efficiency in a compact size.
Two Stage Electric Compressor
Our Two-Stage electric compressor boosts fuel cell stacks to higher pressures and flows, significantly improving efficiency and power density and enabling downsized packaging to fit and drive the electric powertrains of regular-sized vehicles.
The result is improved driving performance – and a major step on the pathway to a zero-emissions future.
Garrett Motion & REFIRE Technology Partner to Boost China Fuel Cell Vehicle Industrialization
Garrett Motion signed a cooperation agreement with Shanghai-based REFIRE Technology Co., Ltd. to jointly develop advanced air compressor technology solutions for the future powertrain system of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs).
A key challenge going forward will be making fuel cell systems smaller and more efficient so that the powertrain can be installed in conventional vehicles that offer the same interior space as today’s vehicles. That’s one of the achievements of the current-generation Honda Clarity Fuel Cell. The fuel cell stack is 30 percent smaller than the one in the previous generation, enabling Honda to increase the Clarity’s interior space.
The current model seats five, compared with the previous Clarity, which had room for four. That helps make it a benchmark for fuel cell vehicles in the years ahead. The compact, lightweight compressor supplies the air, which passes through at high pressure — more than 58 pounds per square inch. Higher pressure, combined with Honda’s more efficient fuel cell stacks, produces enough electric power to equal the performance of a V-6-powered sedan.
