Filter Silencers for Fuel Cell Blowers and Compressors - FS/2G/QB Series

Filter silencers for fuel cell blowers and compressor FS/2G/QB Series

• Most common air contaminants present in operating environments are SO2 and NOx. Fuel cells are sensitive to these compounds as well as salts and VOCs which can enter the process via the intake air. Installation locations can be harsh, raising the importance for particulate removal. Maximizing air purity for the cathode is essential for optimizing a PEM fuel cell.
• The reduction of noise of fuel cells and their components is becoming increasingly important today. To minimize the noise level of both mobile and stationary solutions, it is often sufficient to use silencers that cancel out a wide range of frequencies. In this way, fuel cell systems can be used in any environment without burdening employees and the environment with noise.
• Solberg evaluates each application and works within customer constraints and media adsorption capacities to optimize filter effectiveness

A variety of filter media is available

• Solberg provides various filter-element media which can be used in different applications and are made for specific parameters.
• Separation efficiency polyester ≥99% at 10 µm, ISO16890 ePM10 70%.
• Paper separation efficiency ≥99% at 2 µm, ISO16890 ePM2.5 50%
• Also available as GMAC-filter element, a chemical adsorption element
• GMACZ: 1 micron, 99+% efficiency

Key Benefits

Recent projects

• Solbergs works in this space for more than 50 years and provides filtration solutions for compressors, blowers and vacuum pumps to manufactures all over the world, to help them make their products less noisy and their airstream free from particles and gases.

Working with Solberg

• With more than 50 years of experience in the development and production of filtration solutions, the name SOLBERG stands for expertise in filtration like no other. By taking particles, liquids, steam, oil mist and harmful gases out of the air stream, we protect all kind of machines and at the same time the environment.
• We want to help our partners to innovate, to find new ways and solutions to enhance their technologies and make power generation more sustainable. For this reason, Solberg developed specific filtration solutions for fuel cells, which we think, will be an important part in the futures energy storage market.
