more than just fuel cells
Fuel cell systems have tremendous potential in the field of energy conversion and will in the near future represent a realistic and attractive alternative to conventional power generation. They combine efficient fuel utilisation and, due to the use of hydrogen as the energy source, environmentally friendly operation. Additional characteristics of the systems are a high level of efficiency coupled with advantageous partial-load and load-change behaviour. These electro-chemical energy converters generate absolutely no emissions - the product of the electrochemical conversion process in the fuel cells is simply pure water.
Proton Motor is developing its own fuel cells and combining them with selected components tailored to the application to create integration-ready fuel cell and hybrid systems. These complete solutions from a simple source distinguishes Proton Motor from other system integrators. Only with this integrated approach, coupled with the corresponding expertise – from fuel cell stacks to all-in-one hybrid solutions – we are able to offer our customers the most cost-effective solution for any application.
Our liquid-cooled PEM fuel cell systems (PEM = Proton Exchange Membrane) feature a particularly simple, sturdy and modular construction. This enables them to cover a wide range of applications. Another core component is an integrated, low-energy water management system. Thus, external humidification, together with the refilling with deionised water is no longer required. Our fuel cells are designed as atmospheric or low-pressure systems. This enables us to significantly reduce the energy requirements of peripheral subsystems. The simple construction of the cell and stack components facilitate inexpensive, small-scale series production.
