Garrett’s E-Compressor for use in hydrogen-powered passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles serves as a key technology of the fuel cell vehicle system, providing boost by regulating the air volume into the fuel cell stack. The electric motor-driven compressor helps to optimize the power density, efficiency and life cycle of the fuel cell stack and offers a new expander design enabling greater energy recuperation and lower operating costs.
Garrett’s 400-volt E-Compressor for fuel cell passenger vehicles and high-powered 700-volt E-Compressor for fuel cell commercial vehicles also feature oil-less foil air bearings required for fuel cell applications.
