MeliCon: MeliDiff - gas diffusion layer
MeliDiff is a specially developed metallic expanded metal laminate for use in PEM electrolysis systems.
The purely metallic MeliDiff gas diffusion layers and the protonconducting membrane (PEM) are the main component of the PEM water electrolysis. The MeliDiff conducts electricity and water to the membrane and leads the forming gases H2 and O2 simultaneously. The MeliDiff gas diffusion layer are characterised by:
- High strength and minimal thickness tolerances which ensure a uniform surface pressure and electrical power distribution over the whole PEM area
- High porosity which ensures an excellent water supply and high water throughput for an optimal heat and gas dissipation
- A corrosion resistant material selection, titanium on the oxygen side and stainless steel on the hydrogen side
- Finest mesh size on the membrane side for the best membrane support and wide mesh size on the bipolar side for high water throughput for best heat transmission
- The option of welding the MeliDiff directly onto the bipolar plate significantly minimizes the electrical contact resistance
Graebener® Bipolar Plate Technologies:
Stack Press for Electrolyzers
Production technology to support technical testing of alkaline electrolyzer stacks
Our latest development is the stack press. It is used in the manufacturing process of electrolyzer stacks.
To be more precise, the stack press supports the technical testing of electrolysis stacks, which is necessary to confirm their full operability: The pre-assembled stack, which consists of a large number of plates, is first moved into the machine and then compressed to a defined height until a certain pressure is reached within the stack. This pressure must then be maintained unchanged for several hours. At this time, the stack is subjected to all the necessary technical tests carried out by the customer and with the help of further procedures. As soon as the tests are completed, the stack is finally assembled with tie rods or tension straps and the finished stack is removed.
The stack press for electrolyzers has a force of 800 tons and can handle stacks with a maximum height of approx. 3.0 m, a maximum diameter of 1.60 m and a weight of up to 12 tons per stack.
