Uses of Fuel Cells

Uses of Fuel Cells – PEM Electrolyzer Production – Cheersonic

Fuel cells are being used in automobiles, cars, busses, space, boats, airplanes, under water vehicles and also as distributed power generation, portable power systems. Some of its uses are explained below:

1. Transportation:
Now a day’s fuel cell technology is being used to provide energy at a cost and volume competitive with internal combustion engine. In this regard the fuel cells are being used in automobiles. Almost vehicles are working on a single fuel cell or on the stack fuel cell technology. This fuel cell technology in vehicles keeps our environment clean.

2. Distributed power generation:
Distributed power generation means distributed power plants contrasted with centralized power plants located closed to the consumers. They are capable of providing both heat and energy. Heat is transferred to heat exchanger where it can be used for many purposes. Power plants are using to supply power to homes and Heat can be used for boilers. There are many other advantages of distributed power generation such that we can provide electric energy to customers without transmission lines’ cost and loss.

3. Portable power:
Fuel cells are being developing for portable devices. These fuel cells can produce few watts up to several watts. Such type of fuel cells is being used in laptops, mobile phones and remote lighting.

Cheersonic’s fuel cell catalyst coating systems are uniquely suited for these challenging applications by creating highly uniform, repeatable, and durable coatings. Using the company’s patented ultrasonic spray head technology, it can spray uniformly and efficiently on proton exchange membranes and gas diffusion layers. Uniform catalyst coatings are deposited onto PEM fuel cells, GDLs, electrodes, various electrolyte membranes, and solid oxide fuel cells with suspensions containing carbon black inks, PTFE binder, ceramic slurries, platinum and other precious metals. Other metal alloys, including Platinum, Nickel, Ir, and Ru-based fuel cell catalyst coatings of metal oxide suspensions can be sprayed using ultrasonics for manufacturing PEM fuel cells, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, DMFCs (Direct Methanol Fuel Cells) and SOFCs (Solid Oxide Fuel Cells) to create maximum load and high cell efficiency.

The advantages of ultrasonic spraying include：
1.Highly controllable spray that produces reliable, consistent results.
2.Ultra-low flow rate capabilities, intermittent or continuous.
3.Ultrasonic vibrations continuously break up agglomerated particles and keep them evenly dispersed; maximizing platinum utilization.
4.Corrosion-resistant titanium and stainless steel construction
5.The self-cleaning function of the ultrasonic nozzle prevents clogging.
6.The platform takes up less space.
7.80% reduction in paint consumption
8.The particle diameter is optional which can more flexibly affect the through-hole property of the coating
