PDC's compressors (diaphragm) for use in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (car,
bus and forklift fueling) as well as solar power, wind energy and biomass
power. Typical gases include Silane, Fluorine and Nitrogen Trifluoride and
many other specialty gases.
Hydrogen Compressors for Fuel Cell Refueling Stations, Solar Panel Manufacturing, Hydrogen Generation via Wind Power and Other Applications
Renewable energy and energy efficiency technology are the key to creating a cleaner environment. PDC is proud to be actively involved in various applications of renewable energy such as hydrogen fuel cell technology, solar power, wind energy and biomass power.
With decades of experience in the design and manufacture of hydrogen compressors (diaphragm) systems, PDC Machines has partnered with companies and government agencies worldwide involved in fuel cell technology. We have developed and installed around the globe an extensive line of hydrogen compressors (diaphragm) for vehicles and buses powered by hydrogen or blended fuel.
Our clients include Air Liquide, Air Products and Chemicals, Air Water, Arizona Public
Service, Centre for Renewable Energy Sources (CRES), Greece, DaimlerChrysler AG,
Distributed Energy Systems (Proton Energy), Dynetek Industries, Energy Conversion
Devices, Fiba Technologies, Honda, Hyradix, Hydrogenics, ISE Research, Linde ( BOC),
Nippon Sanso, Plug Power, Quantum Technologies Worldwide, Schatz Energy Research,
SunLine Transit Agency, Teledyne Energy Systems, The Japan Steel Works, University

The following link shows all built and planned to be built hydrogen fueling stations
worldwide, listed by country and city. This chart also lists the hydrogen fueling
station project partners (using PDC's diaphragm hydrogen compressors), the current
project status, the hydrogen production techniques used, other useful information,
as well as station pictures. (h2fuelingstations.pdf)
PDC's compressors re-circulate process gases for the production of polysilicon and other solar panel coatings and substrates. They also compress gases for crystalline and thin film photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules for solar energy applications.
"The solar industry will advance through a rapid transition in the development and research of materials, devices and processes. Pdc Machines, Inc compressors enable further advancements in our production efficiencies and enable us to decrease fabrication costs beyond that of traditional compressors, ultimately building a more competitive solar industry."
—Dr. York Tsuo, President & CEO, AE Polysilicon Corporation.
With over 30 years of experience in high-pressure system integration
and process knowledge, we are the preferred source for component and systems packaging for hydrogen fueling applications. Our extensive experience ranges from alternative energy catalyst research and polymer and specialty chemical development, to innovative process development research.
