The European Patent Office announces that myFC has one of its patents approved in several countries. With the help of the electrochemically operated valve that the patent protects, it is possible to distribute the hydrogen gas individually to the fuel cells.
– It enables a cost-effective, individually adapted and more gentle operation, and provides better overall efficiency, says Sebastian Weber, technical manager at myFC.
When operating a system consisting of a plurality of fuel cells, combined in so-called FCAs (Fuel Cell Assembly), a common flow of hydrogen gas is distributed to the different cells.
The FCAs that are part of the same system naturally operate with a certain variation in working mode, for example due to variation in temperature – something that myFC’s electronics handle to maximize the system’s capacity.
– An additional optimization option is to be able to…
