APPLICATION NOTE Humidification of fuel cells Inside the engine of your car, gasoline reacts directly with oxygen from the air to cause a combustion which enables your car to drive. This is the conventional way. Chemical energy is converted into useful mechanical energy. A cleaner and more promising alternative to combustion is a fuel cell. Oxygen and fuel, such as hydrogen, are fed to the fuel cell to electrochemically react, forming electric energy with only one harmless byproduct, namely water. As a result, electrons flow through an external circuit powering an electric motor. The...

Photo: Kurt Fuchs / Fraunhofer IISB APPLICATION NOTE Leak testing of fuel cell stacks The essence of fuel cells is that hydrogen and oxygen do not react with each other directly, but in an indirect and controlled way. These reactants are supplied to separate parts of the fuel cell, and they react with each other inside the fuel cell with water as reaction product and an electrical current as result. To prevent a premature direct reaction of hydrogen and oxygen resulting in a lower performance of the fuel cell, there should be no short circuits leaks between the hydrogen and oxygen side, and...

APPLICATION NOTE Power to gas Developing more technology for sustainable generation of hydrogen is high on our global agenda. We support several (micro) biological research initiatives combined with our wide experience on fermentation processes for other industries. ‘Power to gas’ refers to the conversion of electricity to gas. A well-known example is using electricity for the electrolysis of water to generate hydrogen, with oxygen as a by-product. This hydrogen can be used as it is – e.g. to feed fuel cells - but it can even go further. If the hydrogen subsequently reacts with carbon...

Photo: DLR Stuttgart - Institut für technische Thermodynamik APPLICATION NOTE Hydrogen storage in metal hydride Our support continues in the development for more and better hydrogen carriers and process optimizations, for instance by the application of hydrides. Hydrogen-fuelled trucks, buses or cars are very much related to the common battery-powered ‘electrical’ cars that we see more and more every day. Hydrogen-fuelled vehicles are electrical vehicles as well, but the way of powering is somewhat different: hydrogen and oxygen react in a fuel cell to generate electricity that powers an...

APPLICATION NOTE Hydrogen storage in Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) Another example of a hydrogen carrier is LOHC which also can be used under normal atmospheric conditions. Whenever there is a time duration between the production of hydrogen and its use, the hydrogen needs to be stored in a certain location, preferably near the point of use. Some German companies and research institutes investigate a new way of storing hydrogen: in synthetic aromatic-based heat transfer oils that are normally used in bakery systems and other high temperature applications. Here the heat transfer...
