HovaPOR Dosing- and Vaporizing System CG7200

Description:

Hovacal is a portable calibration gas generator for accurate gas- vapor mixtures with selectable humidity and temperatures
up to 200 °C.
HOVACAL is based on the principle of dynamic evaporation of liquids and mixture with carrier gas. The calibration gas
generator consists of a supply unit and an evaporator. The supply unit containing the pump for liquid, flow controller for
carrier gas and temperature controller for the evaporator. The evaporator is installed separately from the supply unit. Both are
connected via a link for carrier gas, liquid and power supply. The gas output of the evaporator can be fed in a heated line or
directly in the gas analyzer. Accuracy, reproducibility and stability of the calibration gas mixture are achieved with a precision
mass flow controller for carrier gas and a peristaltic pump for liquid. The liquid flow can be verified with help of a balance,
the carrier gas flow with a gas meter. This guarantees the verification with primary standards at any time.
The complete calibration gas generator is mounted in a portable case. The calibration of emission monitoring systems needs
span gas with hydrogen chloride, ammonia, hydrogen fluoride and mercury chloride. Cheap standard solutions in a wide
concentration range are available for these components. The reagents have nearly infinite stability over time. No gas cylinders
are necessary. Precise water vapor mixtures for calibration of moisture analyzers or for gas humidifying can be produced with
water and air or with another carrier gas. Vapor gas mixtures with organic components can be generated with organic
reagents. Span gas for multi component analysis can be easily achieved with mixed reagents. The elevated temperature of the
gas vapor mixture avoids adsorption and corrosion of gas exposed surfaces.

Schematic:

Technical Benefits:

• high accuracy: due to precise mass flow meter and balance controlled liquid metering
• can be verified with primary methods: by means of gas meter and balance
• quick gas response time: due to minimized adsorption effects
• moisture content up to 60 Vol.-%: due to liquid evaporation of up to 6 ml/min
• wide range of output: concentration range of 1:100 with one standard solution
• gas flow up to 1000 l/h as standard (higher gas flows as options)
• independent of temperature since evaporates completely
• gas temperatures up to 200 °C: adjustable depending on the application
• quick change of components by replacing the standard solution
• gas mixtures produced from combined standard solutions
• customer-defined components can be generated by the user
• point-of-use generation: the separate evaporation unit generates the span gas where it is needed
• easy portable in the portable case for quick change of location

Safety Benefits:

• low pressure of the generated span gas • no leakage problems: only the required amount of gas is produced
• fewer high-pressure cylinders lessen the safety risk • simple transport without safety precautions
• simple disposal e.g. by means of neutralization • simple storage of the standard solutions in plastic bottles

MCM - Multi Channel Modules


Review:

- Principal features
• multi-channel measuring equipment and signal generation in the
smallest possible space: mearsurement channels, power drivers,
signal simulation, loads, relay matrix
• modular unit configuration on the basis of the MCM family
assemblies
• high scalability from a few up to several hundred channels
• time-synchronous processing of all inputs and outputs, even
across several units
• signal conditioning, digitisation and measurement value
processing in one assembly
• power consumption can be reduced by switching off channels that are not needed
• robust electrical design and small mechanical dimensions
• customer-specific assemblies can be added
- Application examples
• test bench technology: HIL systems, endurance testing, EOL test
• solar, fuel and lithium cell monitoring
• rapid prototyping applications
- Customer benefits
• low costs and small unit volume per channel combined with high performance
• easy integration into existing measuring environments
• low channel costs compared to solutions with conventional A/D cards and external signal conditioning (no assembly
and wiring effort)
• fast and effective start-up
Concept description:
The MCM concept unites all kinds of different types of channel under a single communication and data processing interface.
Apart from measurement inputs and signal outputs, this also includes power drivers, load and switching modules.
In addition to the excellent electrical properties of the individual channels, the integrated signal conditioning, time-
synchronous operation of all IOs and an extremely compact design were important design criteria.

Due to the modular system, the


number of channels and
channel type are highly
scalable. MCM units can there-
fore be precisely matched to
individual applications. Thanks
to decentralised data prepro-
cessing, no powerful and there-
fore, no expensive control unit is
required. This makes MCM
interesting for applications with
a small number of channels too.
In addition, trigger mechanisms
on the hardware side in conjun-
ction with the generation of
timestamps enable synchronous
operation of several MCM units.
Even applications with several
hundred channels are no
problem.

fumaGen H2 - Hydrogen Generator

Description:

FumaGen H2 applies the membrane electrolyser principle, working with fumea®


membrane electrodes, splitting water into its both components hydrogen and oxygen.
The principle is equivalent to the reversed working scheme of a fuel cell. 1 l water
generates 55,6 mol H2 which means 1,2 m³ of hydrogen under normal conditions. A
production rate of 250 ml hydrogen per minute assumed, this stands for 83 h of
maximum operation rate with only 1 l H2O. A laborious gas purification is not needed.
In the standard version the hydrogen drying results from a combination of gas
separator, membrane-dryer and a drying column, filled with a regenerative desiccant
material. After a typical operation interval of 3 - 5 months the latter can be easily
regenerated in a vacuum drying oven at 120 °C. If you keep another drying cartridge on stock the maintenance work is done
in 5 minutes. In the standard version fumaGen H2 supplies 0,2 l/min dry hydrogen in 5.0 quality with an operation pressure
of 10 bar.

Security:

FumaGen H2 provides hydrogen "on demand" and shows - inherent to the system - a better
security. Unlike bottled gas supplies, where gases are compressed up to a pressure of 200 bar,
there is no need for special precautions (e.g. security cabinets). The maximum pressure is 10
bar. The generator stores ca. 1 - 1,5 l compressed gas. In an ordinary ventilated room the
explosion limit of hydrogen-air mixtures of 4 % will even locally never achieved. Additionally the
electronic system control notifies creeping leakages, gives an acoustic alarm and provides an
automatic system shut down, if the failure is not removed within 20 minutes from the onset.

We offer with the new product family fumaGen H2 a new generation cost effective generators for hydrogen and/oroxygen
production. They are easy to use, show nearly maintenance free operation and excel in a great extend of flexibility. A supply
with deionised water and a power socket are sufficient in order to supply hydrogen and /or oxygen all over there, where
bottled gas supply is too circuitous or needs to much footprint. Continuousoperation or for casual service. Firm - quiet -
simple. Application areas are e.g. supply of fuel cell test stations, gas supply for small soldering or welding tools and for
laboratory purposes.

Electrodes

Description:

Anode and cathode electrodes for a fuel cell consist of catalyst loaded onto a gas diffusion backing. Gas diffuses through the
backing and is broken down by catalysis. Electrodes conduct current out of the cell. On the other end of the membrane
platinum is again used to bind the proton, electron, and an oxygen atom together to create water, ending the reaction.
ElectroChem’s gas diffusion electrodes are used in PAFC and PEM membrane electrode assemblies as well as in different
types of batteries. We use Platinum/Carbon catalyst with various loadings laminated to a hydrophobic backing (graphite fiber
paper or cloth is considered the best). Our standard electrode is made with 20 wt. % Pt/C catalyst on carbon paper.

PEM Membrane Electrode Assembly - MEA


Description:
A membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is the heart of the fuel cell. In a MEA two electrodes sandwich a solid polymer proton exchange
membrane. On the anode side of the MEA, a fuel (hydrogen, methanol etc.) diffuses through the membrane and is met on the cathode end
by an oxidant (oxygen or air) which bonds with the fuel and receives the electrons that were separated from the fuel. Catalysts on each side
enable reactions and the membrane allows protons to pass through while keeping the gases separate. In this way cell potential is
maintained and current is drawn from the cell producing electricity.
ElectroChem's membrane electrode assemblies are designed to provide consistent and reproducible performance. Unless otherwise
specified, hydrophobic carbon paper ist used as a support for a 20 wt. % Pt/C based electrode on a Nafion™ 115 proton exchange
membrane. Operating temperature is between 60 ° - 80 °C.

Solutions and Emulsions

Description:

Nafion™ Solution, solution (a diluted, liquid form of the same chemical used for a PEM fuel cell membrane) drastically
reduces the amount of platinum needed as a catalyst by exposing a larger fraction of the platinum to the hydrogen gas. Also,
the Nafion™ acts as a binding agent to hold the platinum, membrane, and carbon paper together. Nafion™ perfluorinated
ion-exchange solution is in a mixture of lower aliphatic alcohols and water. Contains 15 - 20 % water.
Teflon™, like the Nafion™, acts as a binding agent and sometimes replaces the Nafion™ solution for that purpose because it
is less expensive. Also, coating the carbon paper with Teflon™ prevents the paper from being saturated by liquid water, while
still letting water vapor through the pores.

Catalysts

Description:

The fuel cell creates power by oxidizing a hydrogen atom into a proton and an electron on anode electrode and reduced
oxygen atom with proton on cathode. In a PEM fuel cell, Platinum is used as the catalyst. A direct methanol fuel cell requires
the addition of Ruthenium as a catalyst. It is used to promote the oxidation and redirection reactions.
Electro catalysts for fuel cell applications contain 10 % or 20 % Pt on VULCAN XC-72R carbon support. Typical electro-
chemical area (ECA) for 20 % Pt/C is 100 m²/g. Typical ECA for 10 % Pt/C is 140 m²/g.
Pt/Ru electro-catalysts carbon monoxide tolerant electro-catalyst for direct methanol fuel cell applications contains 20 % Pt
and 10 % Ru (50 : 50 atomic ratio) on VULCAN XC-72R carbon support. 20 % Pt and 10 % Ru catalyst exhibits better
resistance to CO poisoning and it is well suited for direct methanol conversion fuel cells. The catalyst can also be used in
fuel cells operating in conjunction with gas reformers.

Graphite Plates
Description:

Attached to the electrode backings of a fuel cell stack on either side are large
graphite plates. These plates serve a double purpose. One purpose is to act as a
conductor by receiving the energy from the electrodes. Its other purpose is to
guide the flow of the hydrogen and oxygen through their respective ends of the
stack, making sure that the maximum amount of the gasses and moisture comes
in contact with the membrane. To prevent gasses from leaking out through the
normally porous graphite, the plates are constructed using a much longer and
more complex process that creates nonporous plates.

Heaters
Description:
While a PEM fuel cell will run at room temperature, it has maximum efficiency
at just below the boiling temperature of water (but not over, otherwise the
membrane will dry up, rendering it unable to carry protons). Therefore, heaters
are recommended for the test cells to run efficiently. The silicone rubber heater
is a small resistance heater pad that is attached to either end of the fuel cell.
The fire rod heater also a resistive element that is inserted into a matching
diameter hole in the graphite plates.

46 Methanol Fuel Cell System 46

EFOY Pro Series

Description:

Providing reliable energy out of reach of other power sources is


the speciality of the new EFOY Pro Series. Hooked up to an off-
grid appliance, the fuel cell automatically charges its battery as
and when required – 24 hours a day, without any intervention
from the user and in all weather conditions.
The EFOY Pro Series was developed specially for the
requirements of professional applications.

All Advantages at a Glance:

• Robust industrial construction: EFOY Pro are delivered in a robust metal casing. The integrated user interface allows
monitoring and control directly on the unit.
• More freedom when refueling: EFOY Pro can be hooked up directly to all EFOY Fuel Cartridges. Selecting the
optimum size of fuel cartridge for your requirements allows you to optimise the weight and operating time of your appliance.
• More flexible installation in your appliance: EFOY Pro can be fitted in your appliance in a variety of ways. Thanks
to the extended fuel cartridge hose, the positioning of the fuel cartridge can be chosen freely for example beneath the EFOY
Pro.
• One for all – charges 12 V and 24 V batteries: EFOY Pro are compatible with 12 V and 24 V batteries. The inte-
grated charge control system identifies the battery in use and automatically adjusts the charge process accordingly.

Working with a battery, the EFOY Pro Series multiplies the


length of time your application can run independently many
times over. This significantly reduces the frequency with which
you need to visit the application to charge or replace the
batteries.

The use of an EFOY Pro Series as back-up for a solar energy


system is the perfect solution for 100 % availability. As soon as
the solar system ceases to provide sufficient power, the fuel cell is
activated fully automatically. Expensive solar systems can
therefore be sized down and the reliability of the system can be
substantially improved.

Accessories:

• M28-adapter to connect the M28-fuel cartridge


• Remote monitoring package with fuel cartridge sensor and GSM modem
• Cluster controller for parallel operation of several fuel cells
• EFOY ProCube – a transportable complete solution in a configurable box

48 Hydrogen Fuel Cell System 48

Grid-off Power Supply - The Stromschachtel

Electricity is available nearly everywhere and anytime. But still the availability of
a powerful and stable electric grid can not be guaranteed, e.g. In lodges, on
boats, in caravans. The assembling and the operation of such grid-off power
supply stations are also often very expensive. The fuel cell technology offers a
new possibility to supply such applications with electricity, especially if there is a
demand on low-noise, zero-emission electricity production and maintainability.

Description:

This fuel cell system is controled by a microprocessor control unit, which takes care
on all necessary conditions to ensure an reliable use of the system.
Usually the fuel cell system is build as a hybrid system including a standard
accumulator. This configuration (electricity out of the fuel cell as well as out of the
accumulator) results in higher dynamic behaviour, improved reliability, but also in
lower system costs. The fuel cell is designed for the base load and not for peak
loads. This results in a smaller fuel cell which is cost driver of such a system. Many
applications need much higher peak loads than average loads (e.g. starting current
at electric motors). The “Stromschachtel” provides 12 V DC or 24 V DC and
optionally 230 V AC with an permanent electrical power output of 1,2 kWel. Peak loads can be covered depending on the
type and size of accumulators.

Specification:

Permanent output: 600 Wel / 1,2 kWel

Peak power: up to 5 time of nominal output

Output voltage level: 12 V DC / 24 V DC; optional 230 V AC

Hydrogen pressure supply: 3 - 15 bar

Hydrogen purity: > 3,0 (hydrogen from electrolysers or hydrogen without CO, sulfur compounds)

Hydrogen consumption: approx. 0,9 m³ H2/kWhel

Dimensions (w x h x d): approx. 80 x 60 x 40 cm

Weight: approx. 30 kg

Ambient temperature: 10 ° - 40 °C

Optionally the system can be packaged for different applications.

10 Liter Hydrogen Storage - HB-SCF-0010-Q

Description:

With the latest achievements in solid metal hydride technology of AB5-type alloys and
unique techniques of alloy loading the HB-SCF-0010-Q is one the most advanced
hydrogen storage system. The HB-SCF-0010-Q can safely store hydrogen in the solid
state and release it steadily at ambient temperature without additional energy source - an
important issue for fuel cell application. The enhanced discharge gas flow rates of the HB-
SCF-0010-Q make it a highly competitive gas supply source for various PEM fuel cells (up
