VENA® PEM CELL

VENA® PEM CELL

Product catalog summary
Overview: Vena® PEM CELL is designed for Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, enhancing system efficiency through high-purity materials that ensure low leachable substances and inertness. It is suitable for various parts of a Fuel Cell system, including cathode, anode, and refrigeration lines.
Material Properties: The material is an EPDM-derived composite with excellent mechanical properties, low permeability, and resistance to thermal aging and oxidizing agents. It has a specific gravity of 1.10 g/cm³, tensile strength >12 MPa, and elongation at break >200%. The operational temperature range is from -50°C to +130°C, with short-term tolerance up to 150°C.
Performance: Vena® PEM CELL hoses are constructed entirely from the material, improving permeability and performance. The hoses exhibit low hydrogen permeance and permeability compared to FKM materials, with values of 30.50 ml/m²·day·atm and 153.11 ml·mm/m²·day·atm, respectively.
Compliance and Construction: The product complies with RoHS Directives and features a blue, smooth appearance with three polyester fabric reinforcements. It can be customized with lateral outlets and metal connections for sensors, and equipped with stainless steel or aluminum connections.
Limitations: Users must adhere to specified working pressure values, as high temperatures can affect pressure ratings.

VENA® PEM CELL-1

Vena® PEM CELL has been especially designed and tested to meet the main requirements of Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell and contribute to the overall efficiency of these systems. The use of high- purity and quality raw materials in Vena® PEM CELL ensures the ultra-low content of leachable substances and component inertness in Fuel Cell ambient. This, along with the low-permeability rate and great mechanical properties in Vena® PEM CELL and due the versatility of the material, makes it a good election for any part within a Fuel Cell system (either in the cathode, anode, or refrigeration lines). Vena® PEM CELL material is used for the whole construction of the hoses, not only the inner layer, thus leading to the improvement of overall permeability and performance of the hos
