EFOY HYDROGEN FUEL CELL 2.5

POWER RANGE FROM 2.5 TO 50 KW

The EFOY Hydrogen Fuel Cell 2.5 complements the extensive product portfolio of SFC Energy in the higher output range and supplies climate-neutral energy reliably, efficiently and without interruption. Outputs from 2.5 to 50 kW can be scaled individually. The operation and installation is very simple and there are no emissions. The EFOY hydrogen fuel cell can therefore also be used in ecologically sensitive areas and is very quiet and efficient. The EFOY Hydrogen Fuel Cell is used, for example, to power the mobile communications infrastructure, smart traffic applications or to ensure the emergency power supply of critical infrastructures.

EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES

Critical infrastructures depend on a reliable power supply. In particular for the use of modern information and communication technology, e.g. B. at authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS), a reliable emergency power system is of particular importance. For an optimized and realistic assessment of the situation, effective, broadband communication between the scene and the situation centers is necessary. With conventional battery solutions, it is not possible to achieve long-term operational reliability over several days.

EFOY Hydrogen fuel cells are already in use at numerous locations for backup power supply. The fuel cell modules switch on fully automatically and take over the load no later than 20 seconds after a power failure. In contrast to solutions with diesel generators, there are no CO₂ emissions. Another advantage of the hydrogen fuel cell is the low maintenance effort and the low aging tendency in standby. In this way, system availability can be guaranteed over long periods of time.

46 tons

Annual saving of CO2

For example, compared to a conventional diesel generator, a 5 kW hydrogen fuel cell power solution saves up to 45.6 tons of CO2 for an assumed annual requirement of 43,800 kilowatt hours (kWh). This corresponds to the mileage of a diesel-powered car of around 250,000 kilometers.

EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY WITH EFOY HYDROGEN

THIS IS HOW THE EFOY HYDROGEN FUEL CELL WORKS

EFOY Hydrogen fuel cells are based on PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) technology. They produce electricity from the fuel hydrogen, supplemented with oxygen from the air. Here, hydrogen is converted directly into electricity. In addition to electricity, only water vapor is produced. This is exceptionally eco-friendly.

The EFOY hydrogen fuel cell serves as a back-up power supply solution and, as an emergency power system, ensures uninterrupted power supply for your application in the event of a power failure. The hydrogen fuel cell starts operating as soon as the battery voltage drops below a threshold and takes over the power supply for your application.

THAT SPEAKS FOR OUR FUEL CELLS

Conventional power sources are often unreliable or only offer short periods of self-sufficiency. Solar systems cannot guarantee a reliable power supply all year round, batteries have a very limited autonomy and generators produce harmful exhaust gases. EFOY and EFOY Pro fuel cells are the ideal power generators to meet all the requirements for stationary and mobile applications.

100% RELIABLE

100% power availability thanks to the hybrid circuit of battery and fuel cell. The EFOY / EFOY Pro fuel cell continuously monitors the state of charge of the battery and charges it automatically – so your application is always reliably supplied with power. The EFOY produces electricity in any weather, at any time of the year, anywhere. The high reliability of the power supply with the EFOY fuel cell reduces costs. Downtimes are avoided.

LONG SERVICE LIFE, LOW MAINTENANCE

EFOY & EFOY Pro fuel cells provide off-grid power for months – without any user intervention. EFOY Pro uses the fuel methanol – an alcohol with an extremely high energy density. Ten liters contain methanol
11.1 kWh of energy. Four 28 liter fuel cartridges can operate a 50 W device independently for around 26 weeks.

QUIET AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

During operation, only small amounts of carbon dioxide and water are produced. Thanks to the environmentally friendly power generation process, the EFOY & EFOY Pro can also be used in nature reserves as well as in closed vehicles and rooms. The fuel cells are also suitable for use in undercover investigations due to their low-vibration and quiet operation without heat generation.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT

With a weight of 6-8 kg and a size of 448 x 198 x 275 mm, the EFOY & EFOY Pro fits into any box or control cabinet and can be easily transported.

REMOTE MONITORING / REMOTE MAINTENANCE

The EFOY & EFOY Pro fuel cell can be monitored and controlled via modem. It informs the operator about pending fuel cartridge changes, creates planning security and reduces the administration and maintenance effort.

REDUCES OPERATING COSTS

Batteries have a very limited autonomy. Whether in the vehicle, on the construction site or in a control cabinet, if an application is only supplied by batteries, frequent battery changes and thus the costs of keeping the application running are extremely high. With an EFOY fuel cell, deep discharge of the batteries is avoided, self-sufficiency is increased many times over, and downtimes and service intervals are minimized, thus significantly reducing costs.
