Spray Coating of Alkaline Fuel Cells (AFC)
Spray Coating of Alkaline Fuel Cells – Ultrasonic Sprayer – Cheersonic
The alkaline fuel cell (AFC), also known as the Bacon fuel cell. It is one of the most developed fuel cell technologies, one among the most efficient fuel cells, having the potential to reach 70%. NASA has used alkaline fuel cells since the mid-1960s, in Apollo-series missions and on the Space Shuttle. AFCs consume hydrogen and pure oxygen producing potable water, heat, and electricity. Alkaline fuel cells are also used in military and space satellite applications. High-temperature AFCs operate at temperatures between 100°C and 250°C. However, newer AFC designs operate at lower temperatures of roughly 23°C to 70°C.
Cheersonic’s ultrasonic equipment is suitable for spraying catalyst solutions containing carbon black ink suspension, platinum slurry and other precious metal solutions. From R&D to production, our non-clogging technology results in greater control of coating attributes, significant reduction in materials usage, and reduced maintenance and downtime. It can prepare fuel cell proton exchange membrane with excellent performance. It integrates multiple systems such as ultrasonic, dispersion, carrier gas, liquid, heating station, vacuum adsorption, and exhaust emission control.
The advantages of Cheersonic’s fuel cell catalyst coating systems include the following：
1.Capable of coating PEMs with very small liquid sample sizes (only 10ml of catalyst solution necessary to coat multiple PEMs). Ideal for R&D phase.
2.Ultra-low flow rate capabilities
3.The spray beam is highly controllable for reliable and consistent results.
4.Significantly reduced machine downtime for maintenance
5.Spraying proton exchange membrane with high uniformity and good adhesion
6.Heating plate, vacuum plate or combination of heating plate and vacuum plate
7.Non-clogging atomized spray that does not deviate.
