SMARTER SOLUTIONS FOR A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE
FCgen–1020ACS
Ballard Power Systems offers an air-cooled,
scalable proton exchange membrane
fuel cell stack suitable for a wide range of
light duty applications where durability,
reliability and a simplified balance of plant
are key requirements.
The FCgen–1020ACS fuel cell has been
engineered to incorporate advanced open
cathode technology and state of the art self-
humidifying membrane electrode assemblies.
These features completely eliminate the need for
humidification systems and simplify system
integration. The result is a simple, low cost
design delivering reliable operation over a wide
range of challenging conditions.
With no moving parts and high efficiency, the
FCgen-1020ACS produces clean DC power with a
low thermal and acoustic signature. The
FCgen–1020ACS stack can be scaled to
meet power requirements from 300W to 3kW
and integrated into various end user applica-
tions.
FCgen–1020ACS fuel cell product is available in a
number of cell configuration options.
Please contact us for product availability and
pricing.
