HXB-V1
10 barg version, one to five units · min. 10 barg at the inlet
Who it is for
The downstream dryer for sites that need HXB-V1 hydrogen at 99.999%
Hydrogen leaving the HXB-V1 is 98–99% at ambient pressure and 99% at 10 barg without a dryer, and it is saturated with water. The HXD-V1 takes that water out to reach 99.999%. One unit serves one to five HXB-V1 units of the 10 barg version and needs at least 10 barg at its inlet.
Choose this product when
- Sites using HXB-V1 hydrogen where 99.999% is required, such as fuel cells and refuelling
- Configurations that dry the hydrogen of several HXB-V1 units (up to five) with one dryer
- Mounting it in one 42U rack together with five HXB-V1 units
HXD-V1
Using it where a dew point or purity is specified
A dryer goes in when the application sets a dew point or purity. How far down you dry is what the application decides.
- Process supply and analysis
- These often need only the moisture figure met. The HXD-V1 outlet dew point is -65 °C or lower (atmospheric, approx. 5 ppm water).
- Preventing condensation downstream
- If you only need to stop condensation, a dew point around -40 °C (about 128 ppmv) is enough. The HXD-V1 dries further, to -65 °C or lower.
- Fuel cells and refuelling
- These usually set an oxygen limit as well. The HXD-V1 is a dryer that removes water and has no deoxo catalyst. Send us the applicable specification and we will look at the oxygen figure with you.
- Agreeing the dew point basis
- The dew points we quote are at atmospheric pressure, at the dryer outlet. The same approx. 5 ppm of water reads about -47 °C inside a 10 barg line. We convert to line pressure or to your point of use on request.
SITE CONNECTION
What HXD-V1 covers and what the site provides
The HXD-V1 removes the water between the HXB-V1 and the storage or end-use equipment. Piping and installation are a separate scope of supply.

CONTROL APP
Monitored from the same control app as the HXB-V1
The dryer screens are included from app version 2.1.0. The P&ID screen shows readings, valve states and the regeneration step of each tower; Alarms & Events shows ES, FS and WA alarms and the command history, and records export as CSV. Site PLC or SCADA integration uses Modbus TCP. Values on the screens are examples.
HXD-V1 · SYSTEM INTEGRATION
How it connects
The HXB-V1 hydrogen outlet connects straight to the HXD-V1 inlet, and the dried hydrogen goes on to the site equipment. Power and vent lines are prepared on site.

Before you ask for a quote
Check the connection conditions and site preparation first. Tell us how many HXB-V1 units you will connect and the dew point and purity you need, and we will review the configuration and quotation.
- HXB-V1 units to connect
- One to five HXB-V1 units of the 10 barg version, up to 2.5 Nm³/h. The HXB-V1 hydrogen outlet connects straight to the HXD-V1 inlet.
- Inlet pressure
- Minimum 10 barg. Operating pressure is 10 barg as standard, up to 35 barg on request. If the inlet falls below 8.5 barg the unit waits in STANDBY and carries on once it is back at 9.5 barg or above.
- Rack space
- 6U of 19″ rack, 482 × 650 × 266 mm. In the standard 42U rack it sits at the bottom with five HXB-V1 units above it.
- Power and network
- 200-240 V AC single phase 50/60 Hz, IEC C14 inlet, approx. 300 W max during regeneration heating. The power and LAN cables are supplied by you. Connect Ethernet to the same network as the HXB-V1 control PC.
- Piping, vents and drain
- The H₂ inlet and outlet are 1/4″ tube bulkheads; 1/4-inch stainless tubing and fittings are prepared on site. PURGE and DEPR. release hydrogen in normal operation, so run vent lines to a safe place outdoors and never block them. Separator water leaves through DRAIN.
- Dew point and purity
- Outlet dew point -65 °C or lower (atmospheric), purity after drying 99.999%. If your requirement is at line pressure or at the point of use, say so in the enquiry. The outlet dew point sensor is an option; without it, check with an analyser on H2 SAMPLE OUT.
- Control and integration
- You need the same desktop control app as the HXB-V1 (2.1.0 or later) and a control PC. Site PLC or SCADA integration uses Modbus TCP; ask us and we send the latest register map.
- What arrives
- The HXD-V1 unit (shipped with the ports capped), the user manual (electronic file) and the factory inspection report. Piping and installation are a separate scope of supply.
- Price and lead time
- Depends on quantity, configuration and Incoterms, so it is issued as a quotation, with the lead time confirmed in it.
This is a summary of standard supply terms. Configuration, lead time and commercial terms are confirmed in your quotation.
