Fuel Cell Stack Modules

A fuel cell stack module is a stack of cells consisting of a large number of bipolar plates, membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), seals, end plates, and the tensioning system. Stack modules from EKPO contain additional system functionalities that greatly simplify integration into customer systems and result in a compact design. A special media supply assembly usually integrates pressure and temperature sensors, valves, water separators for the anode circuit, and optional customer-specific functions.

Dutch technology company zepp.solutions has launched a new generation of stationary, zero-emission power units based on fuel cell technology from EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies (EKPO).

When EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies and Hauzer first began collaborating several years ago, neither side expected the relationship to evolve into the strategic partnership it is today.
