HXS-2 — a 23-cell, 2 kW AEM water electrolysis stack for system integrators

A sealed stack assembly with defined interfaces for customers who design their own balance of plant.

HXS-2 is a 23-cell anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyser stack rated at 480 NL/h of hydrogen, approximately 1 kg per day, at 50 A. It is supplied with defined mechanical, fluid and electrical interfaces for research teams, system developers and OEMs who build their own power conversion, electrolyte circulation, gas separation and safety systems. Available to order; shipping four weeks from PO acceptance.

01 — A clear system boundary

Standard supply HXS-2 23-cell AEM stack assembly with the stated mechanical, fluid and electrical interfaces.
Customer system Power conversion, electrolyte circulation, cooling, gas treatment, sensing, safety and control.
Integration review Output, duty cycle, pressure, cooling, gas treatment and interfaces are reviewed before quotation.

02 — Evidence that stays with its test conditions

Rated output 480 NL/h of hydrogen, approximately 1 kg/day, at 50 A.
Energy use 2 kW at 50 A; 44 kWh/kg-H₂ at the stack boundary.
Beginning of life 90.0% HHV at 0.1 M KOH, 50 °C and ambient pressure.
Long-run validation More than 3,000 hours of cumulative operation on 23 cells; long-run data and test conditions are published in the durability note.
Operating condition 0.1 M KOH, 50 °C (adjustable); up to 80 °C.
Hydrogen pressure Up to 10 barg option on the H₂ side.

Protocol note: beginning-of-life efficiency and long-run durability were measured under different conditions and must not be combined into one operating point. Test conditions are stated next to every figure on the product page and datasheet.

03 — Stack data

Size / weight 190 × 198 × 215 mm / 19 kg.
Fluid ports KOH in 3/8″ PEEK tube; O₂ + electrolyte out 3/8″ PEEK tube; H₂ out 1/4″ double-ferrule.

04 — Where HXS-2 fits best

  • Balance-of-plant development around a 2 kW-class stack
  • Long-duration validation and integration work
  • Laboratory-to-pilot projects that need a defined stack boundary
  • Building blocks for parallel multi-stack systems

05 — What to include in an RFQ

  • Required output and duty cycle
  • DC power, electrolyte circulation and cooling concept
  • Pressure, gas treatment and safety architecture
  • Quantity and delivery schedule

Measured values are stated with their conditions. HydroXpand will identify which evidence applies to the proposed configuration before quotation.

HydroXpand Inc.

HydroXpand Inc. is a South Korean deep-tech company that develops and manufactures Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (AEMWE) electrodes, cells, stacks, and integrated systems. Founded in 2023 by three KAIST PhDs, we work across catalysts, electrodes, stack architecture, balance-of-plant, and control software to reduce both upfront and lifecycle costs for clean hydrogen production.

Our current portfolio includes iridium-free anodes, low-PGM cathodes, single-cell and short-stack hardware, the HXS-2 2 kW stack, and the HXB-V1 2 kW integrated system. The HXS-30 46-cell, 30 kW full stack is available to order; measured 46-cell i-V and cell-voltage data are published on the product page. HydroXpand products have been supplied to more than 60 customers across 12 countries, and our patent portfolio comprises eight filings. The HXB-V1 is supported by a CE Declaration of Conformity.

Every published figure is stated with its test conditions, and measured data are kept separate from design values. Customers can start with laboratory or pilot-scale equipment today and expand through a modular development roadmap toward larger industrial systems.
