Text version of the page

FCgen –1020ACS Ballard Power Systems oers an air-cooled, scalable proton exchange membrane fuel cell product suitable for a wide range of light duty applications where durability, reliability and a simplied balance of plant are key requirements. The FCgen–1020ACS fuel cell has been engineered to incorporate advanced open cathode technology and state of the art selfhumidifying membrane electrode assemblies. These features completely eliminate the need for humidication systems and simplify system integration. The result is a simple, low cost design delivering reliable operation over a wide range of challenging conditions. With no moving parts and high eciency, the FCgen-1020ACS produces clean DC power with a low thermal and acoustic signature. The FCgen–1020ACS stack can be scaled to meet power requirements from 300W to 3kW and integrated into various end user applications. FCgen–1020ACS fuel cell product is available now in production quantities in a number of cell conguration options. Please contact us for product availability and pricing.
