Fuel Cell Cathode Isolation Valve - CIV

  • Fuel Cell Cathode Isolation Valve (CIV) is used in the cathode path of a fuel cell system.
  • It is designed for an airtight seal of the inlet and outlet of a fuel cell stack when the system is switched off.
  • Due to the airtight seal, the conditions in the fuel cell stack will be constant during a switched off system.
  • This prevents premature aging of the fuel cell stack and enables a quick restart of the fuel cell system.
  • Seals the inlet and outlet of a fuel cell stack system airtightly to minimize leakage.
  • A fail-safe function is included ensuring a safe closing of the fuel-cell stack when needed.
  • The electrical actuator of the CIV is able to continuously adjust the valve position.
  • This allows for precise regulation of mass flow and fuel cell stack pressure.
  • Highly flexible application options to ensure efficient and safe operation of fuel cell systems in various applications.

Key features

  • Valve with sealing solution to minimize internal and external leakage.
  • Valve can be mounted directly to the fuel cell stack.
  • Different communication input signals for the actuator are possible.
  • Valve is planned in different diameters (flow cross section).
  • Material: stabilized austenitic materials and aluminum alloys for high corrosion stability.
  • Input Signal: PWM Smart possible/ Non Smart available.
  • Positioning: 0 – 90° continuously adjustable valve plate.
  • Position Accuracy: +/- 2
  • Connection Pipe: Flange with 3 screws.
  • Connector: 5-pin Hirschmann ML.
  • Diameters: Inlet: 55.8 mm / Outlet: 45.0 mm.
  • Operating temperature from -40°C to +140°C.
