GAS DRYER
This gas dryer includes: a first drying tower having a first desiccant provided therein; and a second drying tower having a second desiccant provided therein. Either the first drying tower or the second drying tower is switched to a drying circuit side for drying hydrogen gas of an electric device, and another of the first drying tower or the second drying tower is switched to a reactivation circuit side for reactivating the first desiccant or the second desiccant provided therein. The gas dryer includes a cooler which is provided on the reactivation circuit side and which, with only supply of compressed air, generates air having such a temperature that can condense moisture in the gas on the reactivation circuit side.

Hydrogen Expander Magnetic Generator Apparatus and Method
A hydrogen expander magnetic generator apparatus can include a magnetic generator to recover energy. Embodiments can utilize a permanent magnetic motor (PM) and energy conversion system (ECS) for converting energy from a rotating shaft of a turboexpander. Some embodiments can position magnets on the shaft such that the magnets are protected from exposure to hydrogen to avoid damage to the magnets. Some embodiments can include retrofitting of a pre-existing expander to remove an oil brake and replace it with an embodiment of the PM and ECS.
