PEM SubSystem

More than just a fuel cell!

Our SuSy subsystem is the ideal solution for time- and cost-efficient development and a product solution for fuel cell-based applications. Because the SuSy subsystem combines the fuel cell and the peripheral components required for operation in one sealed housing. The result is a ready-for-operation module which even laypeople can install.

Advantages

The SubSystem principle - A fuel cell which is ready for operation

The system already includes all the peripheral components required for operation (fan, valves, pressure regulator, sensors, etc.)
The electronic control unit with various safety and operating features is the fundamental component.
Integration and start-up are simple and quick; no expensive, time-consuming system design work is required.
The design is well thought out and pared back.
The system is scalable and can be expanded using add-on modules to achieve higher performance.
The SubSystem has been frequently used at the Shell Eco Marathon!

The Plug'n'Play principle - the simplest possible integration, guaranteed

No fuel cell know-how is required to install and connect the SubSystem; this work can be carried out very quickly. Variable mounting points allow the compact, robust housing to be fitted in a variety of ways. Three standard interfaces make start-up fast and easy.

Simple connection
Many mounting options
Requires very little space
Variable module interlinking

Technology

Air-cooled fuel cell subsystem

Air-cooled fuel cells use ambient air for cooling. This reduces application costs - in some cases significantly. In response to this, we have developed a stack with an open cathode. It uses ambient air to simultaneously cool and supply the reaction processes inside the fuel cell.
