The EFOY Hydrogen 5.0 system expands SFC Energy AG’s hydrogen fuel cell product portfolio and offers a reliable and efficient energy source for a wide range of applications. With a power of up to 5 kW per module, it provides continuously stable energy and is ideal for powering critical infrastructure as well as industrial and mobile applications. Simple operation, quick installation and low-maintenance operation make the EFOY Hydrogen 5.0 system a flexible and reliable solution. Thanks to its low noise emissions and high efficiency, the EFOY Hydrogen 5.0 system is perfect for applications where a quiet and sustainable energy source is required.
The EFOY Hydrogen 5.0 Fuel Cell uses air-cooled PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell technology to efficiently convert hydrogen and oxygen into reliable direct current (DC) energy. The Fuel Cell Unit combines powerful DC/DC converters with essential balance-of-plant components such as valves and fans that precisely control the energy flow. The integrated air system provides optimal temperature control while ensuring a continuous supply of oxygen to ensure the fuel cell’s high efficiency and longevity.
The EFOY Hydrogen 5.0 Controller takes over the central control and monitoring of all system components. It regulates the power supply, voltage distribution and power control to ensure efficient and stable operation. The parallel connection of up to 12 modular EFOY Hydrogen 5.0 fuel cell systems enables a total output of up to 60 kW. Through precise measurements of voltage, current, pressures and temperatures, it enables continuous optimization of operating parameters, ensuring maximum efficiency, safety and longevity of the system.
The EFOY Hydrogen 5.0 UltraCap ensures an uninterruptible power supply by immediately providing backup power for the consumer if the primary power supply fails. It thus bridges the time until the fuel cell module has reached its full power and ensures that the full power requirement of up to 5.0 kW is reliably covered. With an impressive service life of around one million charging and discharging cycles, the UltraCap offers maximum reliability and durability for critical applications.
Hydrogen for the EFOY Hydrogen 5.0
Hydrogen is gaseous, colorless and odorless. It is typically stored in pressurized gas cylinders of 200 to 300 bar. Hydrogen has a very high energy density in relation to its weight. The fuel is harmless to the environment and non-toxic to humans.
