Leading gas
conditioning
products
manufacturer Perma
Pure LLC introduces
the FC™-Series of
fuel cell
 humidifiers.
The compact,
lightweight units
offer efficient
water management
critical to the
operation of Proton
Exchange Membrane (PEM)
fuel cells.
FC-Series
humidifiers are
available in a range
of sizes suitable to
virtually any
transportation
application, from
wheelchairs and
motorbikes to
forklifts and
automobiles.
In PEM fuel cells,
where incoming gas
must be humid,
FC-Series
humidifiers provide
durable,
self-contained
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.
The lightweight
devices are
available in a range
of models which may
be used alone or in
parallel to
accommodate any
application size.
Perma Pure’s unique
design has no moving
parts, eliminating
the wear, failure
and leaks associated
with alternative
humidifiers. The
humidifiers do not
require any power to
operate, and
therefore do not
produce any
parasitic power
load. Additionally,
the humidifiers are
able to withstand
the high operating
pressures and
temperatures
required in
transportation fuel
cells, and are shock
proof for use in
rugged vehicle
applications.
FC-Series
humidifiers are
self-limiting and
require no
controls. Selective
permeation ensures
that there is no
crossover
contamination
between the exhaust
and incoming gases.
In addition to
moisture exchange,
Perma Pure’s
humidifiers
simultaneously
function as heat
exchangers,
recovering waste
heat as well as
water from the
exhaust.
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 Toms
River, New Jersey
and has
representatives and
distributors around
the world. |
