MMW Chiller for Balance of Plant 2026027456
Summary
AI-generated · Dec 05, 2025Purchase of a chiller system (MMW Chiller for Balance of Plant) with a glycol pump and glycol buffer tank, including process port connections for glycol, to circulate cooled glycol that condenses water out of hydrogen gas produced by a PEM electrolyzer. This drying step is necessary to prepare hydrogen for use in fuel cells and other equipment by removing water from the gas stream.
NREL will provide the process piping to connect the chiller to the drying equipment and heat exchanges. The procurement includes the chiller, glycol pump, and glycol buffer tank system with glycol port connections, and is described in RFQ 2026027456 and Attachment 1—Technical Specifications.
This chiller is part of the process of creating dry gaseous hydrogen with a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer. As part of the PEM process hydrogen is created saturated with water. In order to use this hydrogen in fuel cells and other equipment the hydrogen must be dried. This chiller will provide cooled glycol to condense the water out of the hydrogen stream as the bulk reduction of water step of the process. NREL will be responsible for process piping to connect the chiller(s) to the drying equipment and heat exchanges. This purchase request is for chiller, glycol pump, and glycol buffer tank system with process port connections for glycol.
