Hydrogen-powered PEM fuel cell system for integration into a 19" rack

Electrum is a highly integrated, hydrogen-powered PEM fuel cell system specifically designed for seamless integration into 19" racks. As a reliable and efficient solution, it is ideally suited for stationary applications such as home energy systems and emergency power supply.

The system is based on PEM fuel cell stacks from balticFuelCells and delivers an electrical nominal output of 1.000 W. Thanks to its compact, robust housing, Electrum can be flexibly integrated into existing 19" infrastructures. An integrated DC-DC converter allows adaptation to various customer requirements (e.g. compatibility with different battery technologies). Utilization of process heat is also possible, along with custom adaptations - ensuring maximum control and flexibility tailored to specific application needs.

PEM Fuel Cell System

The PEM fuel cell acts as a highly efficient energy converter: hydrogen is directly converted into electrical energy, with heat and water as by-products. By optionally utilizing the generated heat in your application, the overall efficiency can be further increased - for an even more sustainable and cost-effective energy supply.

Remote power - Off-grid systems

Fuel cells, which are often used in conjunction with solar cells or wind turbines, have proven themselves in supplying electricity to remote areas and locations. The use of fuel cells increases grid independence by up to 100%.

Backup power

Backup power when needed: Hard-to-reach locations are supplied with sufficient fuel to minimize the need for on-site visits. The remote monitoring service for the system guarantees high availability and low maintenance requirements. The system is designed for easy installation and maintenance.
