Stainless Steel

 

Stainless steel imparts a variety of benefits to the hydrogen production process.. Due to its chemical resistance and cost, stainless steel is commonly used in PTLs. Because of the alkaline environment of AEM it places a unique demand on materials. The corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity of our stainless steel are up to the task.

 

The metal fibers of a PTL have a profound effect on an electrolyzer. They must rebound from pressure and unstable current, without damaging the membrane. Not only does stainless steel cut costs, but it increases overall stability. If you are looking for a PTL that aids in scalability and accessibility, you can’t go wrong with stainless steel.

 

 

  • Superior porosity and surface area
  • Bounces back from uneven pressure
  • Cuts costs and increases scalability

During intermittent electricity or compression, a PTL may experience uncontrolled compression. The mechanical properties of our PTL allow the felt to compress and avoid deformation. In the end, it returns back to its initial thickness and shape, unfazed.

 

  • Composition offers enhanced elasticity
  • Bounces back after uncontrolled pressure
Features
  • A variety of felt thicknesses
  • Customizable shapes and sizes
Advantages
  • Small fiber diameter provides high surface area
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Electrical conductivity
Applications
  • Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM)
  • Alkaline environments
  • Stable, neutral pH levels

Sintered metal fiber media have pore sizes in the µm-range.

  • Compared to sintered metal powder, higher porosity, and thus permeability, can be achieved at similar pore size.
  • Compared to metal foam, sintered metal fiber media enable a stepwise reduction in pore size and corresponding increase in surface area.
