How much hydrogen can be produced by Enapter’s electrolyser and how long does it take to fill a 500 L tank?
Enapter’s electrolysers produce 0.5 Nm³/h (500 NL/h) or 0.04494 kg/h. One electrolyser module produces 12 Nm³ of hydrogen gas in 24 hours, weighting >1 kg (1.0785 kg). At the normal output pressure of the electrolyser with 35 barg, 1.0785 kg

Enapter’s electrolysers produce 0.5 Nm³/h (500 NL/h) or 0.04494 kg/h. One electrolyser module produces 12 Nm³ of hydrogen gas in 24 hours, weighting >1 kg (1.0785 kg). At the normal output pressure of the electrolyser with 35 barg, 1.0785 kg of hydrogen occupies a volume of 0.343 m³ (343 L).
A full tank of hydrogen for a passenger vehicle contains about 5 kg of hydrogen gas (stored at 700 barg) and can drive for over 500 km.
Filling up a 500 L tank with one EL running at 100% and at 35 barg takes about 500 L * 35 / 500 NL/h = 35 h until it is full.
The Enapter devices can produce and dry hydrogen 24 hours a day and 7 days per week. They do not need recovery times.
