HXB-V1 — 1 kg/day hydrogen, integrated into one 6U AEM system

For teams that need a hydrogen source and an experimental platform in the same enclosure.

HXB-V1 combines the AEM stack, power electronics, electrolyte circulation, feed-water handling, sensing, safety logic and desktop control in one rack-mount system. Connect AC power, qualified water and the required gas, vent and drain lines; operate at 0 or 10 barg from the software.

01 — From power and water to controlled hydrogen

Inside HXB-V1 AEM stack · AC/DC power · electrolyte circulation and temperature control · feed-water top-up · gas separation · sensing · safety logic · control software
Site connections 200–240 V AC · ASTM D1193 Type II water · H₂ and O₂ outlets · vent · drain · protective earth
Optional downstream Drying and purification, compression, storage and the point of use are selected for the project.

02 — Control built for development work

Desktop application MQTT/Ethernet control and monitoring through a wired LAN connection.
Direct control Voltage · current · electrolyte temperature · electrolyte flow

06 — Where HXB-V1 fits, and what to send

  • On-site hydrogen production around 1 kg/day
  • Stack, protocol and controls development without designing a complete balance of plant
  • Compact hydrogen-source integration into laboratory or OEM equipment
  • Training and demonstration of AEM electrolysis operation

For a useful quotation, include:

  • Required production, delivery pressure and purity
  • Duty cycle, installation environment and country
  • Available AC power, water quality and ventilation
  • Gas handling, dryer, compression and storage scope
  • Control interface, quantity and delivery schedule

Start with pressure and purity. HydroXpand will map the appropriate HXB-V1 and downstream configuration before quotation.

Boundary note: ≥99.999% purity requires a suitable dryer. CE evidence is a manufacturer's Declaration of Conformity, not third-party product certification.

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 30 kW pilot stack is under development and validation. HydroXpand products have been supplied to more than 50 customers across 10 countries, and our technology portfolio includes nine patents. The HXB-V1 is supported by a CE Declaration of Conformity.

Our stack architecture is designed so that the durable hardware can be reused while the MEA is replaced, reducing maintenance cost and material waste. Customers can start with laboratory or pilot-scale equipment today and expand through a modular development roadmap toward larger industrial systems.
