hy-fcell will once again take place in Stuttgart on 8 and 9 October 2024. The leading international trade fair and conference for hydrogen and fuel cell technology is THE meeting place for the industry and offers both experts and newcomers the ideal platform to discuss technological advances, transfer knowledge and open up international markets – for the first time, Rehm Thermal Systems will be exhibiting a system for drying fuel cells.
As an internationally active company, Rehm Thermal Systems fulfils its responsibility to protect the environment in a variety of ways: by using predominantly regional raw materials, low material consumption, short transport routes through productions in Germany and China and reliable recycling of materials, high-quality and durable systems with low energy consumption and minimal emissions are manufactured on which customers can sustainably produce new technologies for the energy transition.
For some years now, hydrogen has been seen as a beacon of hope for the energy and climate transition: in hydrogen fuel cells, it acts as a fuel and oxygen as an oxidizing agent. This chemical energy is converted directly into electrical energy and heat. The applications for hydrogen fuel cells range from heat and power supply to the propulsion of vehicles, aircraft and ships.
Within the process chain for manufacturing fuel cells, Rehm Thermal Systems offers innovative drying systems. These are used to produce both PEM cells – the so-called low-temperature fuel cells – and the high-temperature fuel cells based on ceramic (SOFC) or metallic (MSC) membrane materials. The Rehm experts will be on hand in Hall 4 at Booth 4C19 to advise you on the individual options and system configurations for your fuel cell production.
Optimal drying process for reliable results
The heat management of the Rehm drying system with upper and lower heaters works with infrared radiation (IR) and/or convection to dry a wide range of materials. By implementing these two heat transfer processes, the systems are optimally designed for processing coating materials that contain solvents. The exceptional thermal insulation of the heating zones and the individually adjustable temperatures allow for optimum profiling of your drying processes – perfectly tailored to the requirements in fuel cell production.
Simple operation and process traceability
The Visu operating software of the Rehm drying systems has an intuitive touch interface, which facilitates a familiarization with the software and significantly reduces the need for operator training: All the relevant parameters are visible at a glance on the main screen with its machine view. In addition, the drying process can be documented for each product using appropriate tools and can be integrated into the traceability programme.
We look forward to your visit and the opportunity to discuss the individual challenges of your manufacturing or production with you in person: we will find the right solution for you – in keeping with the tradition of the state of inventors and tinkerers!
