Leading gas conditioning products manufacturer Perma Pure
LLC introduces the FC™-Series of fuel cell
 humidifiers.
These compact units offer water management essential to the
operation of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells in a
range of sizes for stationary power applications. Proven
reliability and simple design are ideal for use in
residential power generation and backup power units.
In PEM fuel cells, where the incoming gas must be humid,
FC-Series humidifiers provide self-contained, reliable
humidification. The humidifiers recover water from the fuel
cell exhaust and transfer it into the incoming gases by
permeation through the walls of Nafion® tubing, a
proprietary technology available only from Perma Pure under
license from the polymer manufacturer, DuPont.
With no moving parts to fail or leak, FC-Series humidifiers
provide the reliability critical to backup power generation
systems. The lightweight devices are available in a range
of models which can be scaled to fit any size application,
up to several hundred kilowatt capacities. The units do not
require any power to operate, so there is no parasitic power
drain, a shortcoming of many alternative humidifier
technologies.
FC-Series humidifiers are self-limiting and require no
controls. In addition to moisture exchange, Perma Pure’s
humidifiers simultaneously function as heat exchangers,
recovering waste heat as well as water from the exhaust.
Selective permeation ensures that there is no crossover
contamination between the exhaust and incoming gases.
Perma Pure LLC, a member of the world-wide Halma Group,
manufactures gas conditioning products such as dryers,
humidifiers, filters, coalescers, specialty scrubbers and
complete sampling systems for use in medical, industrial and
scientific applications. The company’s dryers and
humidifiers incorporate proprietary technology based on the
unique properties of the Nafion® polymer. The company is
the sole manufacturer of Nafion tubing under license from
the polymer manufacturer, DuPont. The company is based in
Tom’s River, New Jersey and has representatives and
distributors around the world |
