Bespoke Valve Solutions for use in Fuel Cell Systems
Whether you’re working with active or passive re-circulation in mobile or stationary applications we can help optimize your control loop.
Burkert has been a competent partner for the Fuel Cell industry since the 1980s and understands the challenges many manufacturers face when designing a fuel cell system. Whether you’re working with active or passive re-circulation in mobile or stationary applications we can help optimize your control loop. We understand that many times customers need a competent partner to help with the complex fluid dynamics surrounding gas control. At Burkert, we primarily focus on the anode loop but can support with other parts of the system as well. Our experience and reputation for high quality makes Burkert a unique partner for providing isolation valves, shut-off valves, hydrogen pressure control valves, drain valves and purge valves.
Our experience and ability to quickly integrate valves and sensors into compact manifold designs makes space and weight savings ideal for fuel cell requirements. Reach out to our competent engineering team for a free consultation.
