About

Allatherm’s Gas Thermal Compressors use temperature differentials rather than mechanical pistons to compress high-purity and hazardous gases including Xenon, Krypton, Hydrogen, and hydrocarbons. They operate with no moving parts, producing negligible vibration — a key advantage for sensitive space instrumentation and propulsion systems. Output pressures range from 200 to over 400 bar, scalable through configuration. The absence of mechanical components improves reliability and eliminates contamination risks from lubricants. These units are suited for satellite propulsion gas management (electric propulsion Xe/Kr feeds), space instrument pressurization, and in-orbit refueling thermal management.
