HTceramix s MISSION IS TO HELP THE SOFC INDUSTRY REACH THE THRESHOLD COST FOR MARKET PENETRATION Within the last 4 years, HTceramix has developed a new stack based on its SOFConnex design. Based on scaleable manufacturing methods only, HTceramix has validated its cost projections at the level of 250 kw/yr. Stacks have the potential to achieve 330 Euro/kW at a production level of 250 MW/yr.

Air Cooled PEFC-Stack The University of Applied Sciences in Biel has developed a fuel cell stack with new cell design. The cell has an internal humidification of both process gases (air and hydrogen). Each cell has two cooling ribs for an air cooling, the fan is adapted at the stack. The stack has 30 cells with an active area of 60 cm 2 each. The dimensions of the stack are 160mm x 240mm x 150mm. This low pressure cell is design for 18W. humidification area air active area air input H2 output H2 input air output cooling ribs humidification area hydrogen Contact: martin.ruge@hti.bfh.ch 11 / 16th March 2005 /ERA-Net HY-CO 2.
