Electrochem’s Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) Hardware applies liquid fuel to the fuel cell to generate power. DMFC involves gas evolution during the electrochemical reaction that greatly influences the performance of the fuel cell. Methanol has more energy in volume compared to hydrogen; and since it can be utilized in a non-compressed state – it has become a fuel of choice for several uses including where size and weight are an issue as well as portability.
ElectroChem’s DMFC fuel cell offers serpentine and column flow patterns for the liquid feed of methanol. ElectroChem DMFC fuel cell can be taken apart and rebuilt.
The DMFC hardware can also use for Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell (DEFC) and Bio-fuel cell in which liquid fuel is required to be managed to flow through the fuel cell.
