Fuel Cell and Fuel Cell Industry
A fuel cell is defined as a device that electrochemically converts the potential energy of a fuel to electricity in a highly efficient and environmentally clean manner. Fuel cell works with very low noise and high efficiency. When it is operated directly on hydrogen fuel, the only by-product of emission is clean water.
In fact, hydrogen is an energy carrier, which is renewable and can be produced in many ways. Hydrogen can be derived from electrolysis of water using solar energy, wind energy, or thermal energy, it can also be produced from the reforming of coal, natural gas, methanol, and other hydrogen containing fuel. Hydrogen combined with fuel cell system will become the most widely used clean power source in the 21st century. Fuel cell and hydrogen system offer the potential for reliable, efficient and cost-effective energy generation. It can be used to power electric vehicles, electric bicycles, scooters, ships or deployed to operate in parallel with the grid, as independent energy source or to complement solar and wind energy systems.
Shen-Li fuel cell technology and product advantage;
1.Operating under ambient air and low hydrogen pressure;
2.Longer life time, over 5000h operation lifetime achieved;
3.High MEA performance, for the specific lower pressure operation;
4.Lower precious metal catalyst loading;
5.High reliability and safety
6.The total power density of Shen-Li fuel cell engine, superior to the higher pressure operation fuel cell engine, because of the simplicity of the whole engine system;
7.Low cost and the auxiliary parts, such as blower, piping system, etc., are cheap and easy to purchase;
8.Fuel efficiency >50%, because of the lower parasitical power consumption.
