Hydrogen Fuel Cell Dimensions

Most fuel cell developers use a nominal voltage of 0 6 to 0 7 v at nominal power.

Hydrogen fuel cell dimensions.

Fuel cells are different from most batteries in requiring a continuous source of fuel and oxygen usually from air to sustain the chemical reaction whereas in a battery the chemical energy usually comes. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel often hydrogen and an oxidizing agent often oxygen into electricity through a pair of redox reactions.

A fuel cell is composed of an anode cathode and an electrolyte membrane. Fuel cells do not need to be periodically recharged like batteries but instead continue to produce electricity as long as a fuel source is provided. It uses hydrogen stored on site or via pipeline to feed to the fuel cell architecture and its management system handles control monitoring and safety functions. Fuel cell systems can be designed at nominal voltages of 0 8 v per cell or higher if the correct design materials operating conditions balance of plant and electronics are selected.

This assembly of cells is called a fuel cell stack or just a stack. Just like batteries individual cells are stacked to achieve a higher voltage and power. Our self contained fuel cell solution can replace or augment both renewable and diesel generators. Extended range the hydrogen fuel cell can extend the range of a battery electric bus by up to 300 miles on a single refueling and requires no off board electric.
