Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs)
Ultra low electrical conductivity coolants for FCEVs, ensuring stable thermal management, electrical safety, and long-life corrosion protection.
Fuel cell-powered engines, alongside hybrids, batteries and alternative fuels, are among the possible solutions for alternative propulsion. According to several studies, fuel cell will find most benefit when installed in buses, trucks, vans and passenger cars. Some off-road applications, like marine and stationary equipment, consider the use of fuel cells as well and even aircraft propulsion is being developed based on this powertrain approach.
Low maintenance intervals are critical for fuel cell applications. These are affected by the coolant life time, which is, in turn dependant on the increase in electrical conductivity over time. One of the key components of the thermal system, the ion exchanger, serves to remove the corrosion and foreign ions that might be released during operation. Having a coolant which protects against corrosion, will enhance the life time of the ion exchanger, and will decrease maintenance frequency significantly.
FREECOR® EV Micro 10: Advanced Coolant for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles
FREECOR® EV Micro 10 is specifically developed for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) and complies with the Chinese National Standard GB 29743.3 for fuel cell vehicles. Our liquid coolant features ultra low electrical conductivity (<5µS/cm) using non-ionic technology, and maintains stable, low current levels when exposed to voltage, resulting in minimal fluid decomposition and hydrogen generation.
Supplied as a ready-to-use mixture, FREECOR® EV Micro 10 ensures consistent quality and prevents any increase in conductivity. It provides a unique combination of corrosion protection and material compatibility across the entire fuel cell cooling circuit, including metals, thermoplastics, elastomers, and commonly used ion exchanger materials such as cartridges and resins.
