The technical approval of the new hydrogen liquefier for the AppLHy! project has been successfully completed. The system, developed and manufactured by New Zealand-based company Fabrum, is currently en route from Christchurch to Germany. It is scheduled to arrive at KIT within the next few weeks, where it will be installed.The liquefier is expected to go into operation in the first quarter of 2026 and will be capable of producing up to 75 kilograms of liquid hydrogen per day. The output will primarily support various projects at the Institute for Thermal Energy Technology and Safety (ITEP), especially the TransHyDE initiative AppLHy!, and may also be used by other KIT institutes and partner companies.The on-site technical approval was accompanied by Michael Wolf, Tobias Wagenbach, and Marco Hartstern.
