Its low density and small molecular size make hydrogen incredibly prone to leaking, and hydrogen molecules react violently with oxygen. The existing molecular bonds break, and the energy held in those bonds is shed explosively as new bonds are formed between oxygen and hydrogen as they bond to create water. As a result, storage containers, tubing, fittings, and other system components designed for use with hydrogen have to be manufactured to the tightest tolerances to ensure the product is contained, and BAUER’s purpose-built hydrogen compressors are made to accommodate these conditions.
