AGE Electrolizers Family

The AGE pressurized electrolyzer family is based on a patented alkali process which warrants high efficiency, reliable operation and represents the state-of-the-art commercially available today. Several installations, based on this technology, are running continuously failure free in the field for over 15 years. The operating parameters are continuously supervised by a special control logic capable of recognizing possible running defects and, if the case, stopping and reverting the unit to a fail-safe condition in case of malfunction. A control panel allows to operate the machine in a very simple way through a touchscreen. The very rugged and compact construction is suitable for equipment transportation. Ease of operation makes this device usable with a minimum of training thus reducing significantly set-up and operation costs. Because of the very high security features in the outdoor execution, the electrolyzer can be operated in a non classified environment, i.e. it can be placed in any room without the need to classify the ambient for electrical installation with explosive gases.
The HQ device option delivers hydrogen gas with purity of 99.999% and dew point of - 50°C suitable for Fuel Cell supply. The AGE family can be fabricated with 10 bar, 30 bar or 200 bar gas output pressure without the need of compressors. All electrolyzers of the AGE family shows an overall very high efficiency. For special applications, like hydrogen production from renewable energy sources, AccaGen has developed electrolyzers with ultra high efficiency >85%. Moreover these devices mounts electrodes designed to work with strong fluctuating electrical currents, like usually happens in solar or wind energy production systems, without suffering any electrode degradation over time.
