Metering Flow for Fuel Cell Applications

Micropump®, a leading supplier of high quality, precision pumps and fluidic systems, now offers a full line of miniature pumping systems and solutions for the different types of hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) technologies. These pumps are designed to meet the most stringent requirements of pumping low viscosity hydrocarbon fuel—providing long life, rugged performance and unmatched reliability in low flow, high pressure, high precision metering and dispensing.

HFC technology typically incorporates a fuel processing and delivery subsystem that requires the efficient and accurate performance of a pump, motor and controller in a miniature package. The fuel processor and delivery subsystem converts hydrocarbon fuels into a hydrogen rich gas that is delivered to fuel cell stacks for the generation of electricity (DC current).

icropump's micro annular, low flow gear and piston pumps satisfy the unique requirements inherent to dealing with these hydrogen rich fuels. The pumps’ hardened materials provide excellent chemical resistance, while precision machined components ensure tight tolerances for highly efficient and accurate operations in stand-alone and vehicular electric power generation systems.
