Micropump applications fuel cell technology
Fuel cells are an environmentally friendly technology that generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction that emits only water and heat as byproducts. Fuel cell systems provide a clean, efficient, and reliable source of power.
Markets addressed by the Fuel Cell Systems include:
- Hydrogen generation technology
- Fuel cell systems for transportation
- Residential power
- Power back-up
- Micro-CHP
- Ancillary systems
Advantages of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems:
- Fuel variety
- Low-to-Zero Emissions
- High Efficiency and Reliability
- Energy Security
- Durability
- Quiet Operation
How do Fuel Cells work?
- A fuel cell consists of an anode, cathode, and an electrolyte membrane.
- The hydrogen atoms enter the anode.
- The atoms are stripped of their electrons in the anode.
- The positively charged protons pass through the membrane to the cathode and the negatively charged electrons are forced through a circuit, generating electricity.
- After passing through the circuit, the electrons combine with the protons and oxygen from the air to generate the fuel cell's byproducts - water and heat.
Micropump Solution
Multiple highly efficient pumps for fuel cells are required to handle various fluids and operate under different parameters. The exceptional performance and durability of Micropump products can improve performance for several aspects of fuel cell systems:
- SYSTEM COST REDUCTION - Micropump products offer an extended lifetime, and system simplification.
- ACCURATE PERFORMANCE - Micropump's pumps feature excellent flow control and accuracy which enables efficiency and fast response for system control inputs.
- SMALL PACKAGE SIZE - Micropump's magnetic-drive gear pumps are small. When mounted to a Micropump electromagnetic EagleDriveâ„¢, they can offer a very compact pump and drive package.
- LOW POWER REQUIREMENTS - Micropump features low parasitic load with the hydraulic and electrical efficiency of the mag-drive gear pump and EagleDrive, power requirements are very low.
- MAINTENANCE EASE - Micropump pumps offer consistent performance even in fluctuating temperatures and can handle corrosive fluids.
MICROPUMP Products Optimized for THIS APPLICATION
Micropump GA Series and GAF Series suction show-style magnetic gear pumps and GJ Series cavity-style magnetic gear pumps are most commonly used in fuel cell applications. These pumps offer high pressures for greater reformer efficiency and an isolated fluid path with no leak dynamic seals.
