The EFOY Pro Fuel Cell generates waste heat during operation. Therefore, the ventilation opening must remain unobstructed. A minimum distance of 5 cm between the EFOY Pro and any wall should be maintained. For applications in warm environments, an additional fan is recommended. In colder regions, the waste heat can be used to warm surrounding equipment or the exhaust hose.
For proper operation, the EFOY Pro Fuel Cell requires a continuous supply of fresh air. Adequate ventilation openings must be provided to ensure sufficient airflow within the installation space. The exhaust hose must be routed outside the installation area.
Lead-acid and lithium batteries, as well as rechargeable batteries, have a limited lifespan that depends on the number of charging cycles. Check the settings of the EFOY Pro Fuel Cell and adjust the parameters to match the battery specifications. The use of old or faulty batteries is not recommended, particularly those that have been subjected to multiple deep discharges or have insufficient capacity.
The ambient operating temperature for the EFOY Pro must be between -20 °C and +50 °C, and for the EFOY between -20 °C and +40 °C. At temperatures below +5 °C, the fuel cell is protected by an integrated, automatic frost protection system. This function requires a properly connected battery and a full fuel cartridge. At ambient temperatures as low as -40 °C, the EFOY and EFOY Pro can be integrated into a suitable energy solution.
Depending on the distance between the battery and the EFOY Pro, the cable cross-sections of the charging cable must be adjusted. Due to high air humidity, cables can corrode, leading to increased cable loss. Corroded cables should be replaced. Do not use them! Protect cables and plugs from air containing salt.
In order to prevent damage to the EFOY Fuel Cell due to impure methanol, only ever use original EFOY fuel cartridges. Please note the expiration date on the back of the fuel cartridge.
Note: According to the CLP Regulation, methanol is categorised as a poisonous and easily flammable substance. For further information, please see the Safety Data Sheets in our downloads.
