Compression
A source of low pressure and low-density gaseous hydrogen can be passed through a compressor to achieve a higher pressure a higher density fluid state.
The compressor is typically reciprocating or rotating piece of equipment that may need special connections, gas preparation or heat rejection to perform properly
