Development of a 1 kW High Pressure Electrolyser for application in a Regenerative Fuel Cell system for space applications


  • Pure Η2 and Ο2 production unit through water electrolysis at high pressure 80-100 bar. Increase of the overall efficiency by operating at high pressure.
  • Production in the framework of ESA project for Η2/Ο2 production and storage at 80 bar.
  • Use in telecommunication satellites and exploration missions to other planets. Can be utilized in earth applications (e.g., production/storage of Η2-Ο2 to feed connected or remote regions, coupling to renewable energy sources)
