Description:

The fuel cell stack is the "engine" of a fuel cell system and its most core component. Hydrogen enters from the anode and air (oxygen) from the cathode; an electrochemical reaction takes place at the membrane electrode, directly converting the chemical energy of hydrogen into electrical energy while generating water and releasing heat. Unlike a water-cooled stack, an air-cooled stack is generally of lower power and its heat can be discharged simply through external air flow (natural convection or forced convection by a fan), without a complex coolant circulation system. It has the advantages of a simple structure, light weight, fast start and convenient maintenance, and is very suitable for lightweight application scenarios that are sensitive to volume and weight.

The air-cooled series stack includes AW200M, AW600M, AK015M, AK032M, AW200C, AK030C and other products, with power covering 100W to 3000W, widely used in the fields of two-wheelers, portable power supplies, outdoor power supplies, teaching equipment, sightseeing vehicle range-extender power supplies and outdoor stationary power generation.

High efficiency: it uses a highly active catalyst layer and optimized flow field design, with an energy conversion efficiency of 50%~70%; the wide operating condition design effectively reduces the power consumption of system auxiliary components.

High reliability: vehicle-grade structural strength design, meeting the vibration and impact requirements of GB/T 31467.3; the integrated unit cell structure design (Unit Cell) results in lower leakage; under extreme working conditions (high temperature and high humidity) the insulation is >=10M Ohm, ensuring system safety.

Long durability: modular and universal design, with high product adaptability and convenient matching; IP67 high protection class (optional), withstanding harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity and sand dust; long-life membrane electrode assembly, excellent charge-discharge cycle stability, greatly reducing the replacement cost of core components.

Safety: based on GB/T 44116 durability test, the air-cooled series is >1000h, ensuring long-term stable system operation.

FAQ

Q1: Can you provide samples for testing?
A: Yes, we support sample orders for vehicle installation testing and performance verification, and also accept mixed-model sample orders.

Q2: What is the delivery lead time?
A: Sample orders usually take 5-7 working days; bulk orders (depending on order quantity) generally take 15-30 working days.

Q3: Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ) limit?
A: There is no strict MOQ limit; 3-piece sample trial orders are supported, and bulk order prices are more favorable.

Q4: What role does the air-cooled fuel cell stack play in the system?
A: The fuel cell stack is the "engine" of a fuel cell system and its most core component. Hydrogen enters from the anode and air (oxygen) from the cathode; an electrochemical reaction takes place at the membrane electrode, directly converting the chemical energy of hydrogen into electrical energy. An air-cooled stack is generally of lower power and heat is discharged through external air flow, suitable for lightweight and miniaturized scenarios.

Q5: What is the difference between an air-cooled stack and a water-cooled stack?
A: An air-cooled stack dissipates heat through air flow, with a simple structure, light weight and no coolant circulation system, suitable for 100W~3000W low-power scenarios; a water-cooled stack dissipates heat through coolant circulation, with a strong heat dissipation capability, suitable for 30kW~300kW high-power scenarios. Users can choose the appropriate stack type according to system power and installation space.

Q6: What models does the air-cooled series stack have?
A: The air-cooled series provides 6 standard models: AW200M (200W), AW600M (500W), AK015M (1500W), AK032M (3200W), AW200C (200W), AK030C (3000W).

Q7: What is the cooling method of the air-cooled series stack?
A: It uses air cooling, discharging heat through external air flow with no need for a coolant circulation system.

Q8: How to handle product failures?
A: We implement a strict quality control system, with an out-of-factory defect rate below 0.2%. During the warranty period, small batches of defective products will be replaced with new ones in the next order; batch quality problems will be negotiated for repair or replacement to ensure customer rights.
