ACAL Energy has today announced that it has secured another successful round of investment finance, enabling it to strengthen the research and development of its affordable fuel cell systems. The company has previously announced that it is targeting FlowCath power modules for commercial scale stationary power and automotive applications.

ACAL Energy attracted a lot of interest at the FC EXPO show recently, when it unveiled a new, compact, low cost fuel cell stack design with a rated power of 12 kW and a power density of over 1 kW per litre. The new design is six times smaller than the previous generation, and is expected to be of interest in both automotive and stationery power generation applications.

ACAL Energy has completed an important step in a rigorous testing programme designed to evaluate the durability of its FlowCath fuel cell platform. The results confirm that the platinum-free liquid cathode system, FlowCath inherently eliminates many of the causes of lost performance in both continuous operation and in auto cycling. It has the potential greatly to assist the cost-down strategies of vehicle OEMs looking to deploy fuel cells.

ACAL Energy has achieved key milestones in the development of its FlowCath platinum-free liquid cathode fuel cell technology. The Company has completed the build of its first field test system, producing gross power of 3kW. At the same time the company has also achieved a new record peak performance power density of nearly 900 mW/cm2, which is a substantial improvement over the previously announced peak power record of around 600 mW/cm2.
