Critical Fluid Control for Fuel Cell Applications

FLUID METERING, INC.'s Valveless Piston Pumps have frequently been chosen to perform critical fluid control functions of the Fuel Cell and Reformer operations.

These pumps are ideally suited for the precision addition of DI water into both liquid and gaseous fuels.

A second critical application is the recirculation of the pure water created as a by-product of the reaction into the oxygen source (air). Accuracy and reliability of the humidification in this function is important to the operation and efficiency of the fuel cell.

Fluid Metering's pumps have also met the requirements in Liquid Fuel Metering (typically Methanol or a Methanol / DI water mix) into the reformer.

A fourth fuel cell application, DI water addition into the steam reformer can also be accomplished with FMI pumps.

For R&D and prototyping, FMI variable speed pumps provide extreme flexibility of flow range and process control capability.

These pumps feature both mechanical stroke volume adjustment and pump speed adjustment via the versatile V300 Stroke Rate Controller. The V300 is easily integrated into process control devices (sensors, computers, PLC's) via a 4-20mA interface.

These pumps are ideal for production fuel cell stacks and steam reformers used for remote and residential installations requiring maintenance-free operation.

Fluid Metering, Inc. also offers a complete line of valveless metering pumps for OEM production fuel cell applications. Typical applications include metering of DI water for humidification of PEMs & steam reformers, as well as, requirements for metering methanol, ethanol, diesel, and other hydrocarbon fuel sources.
