The use of hydrogen to power fuel cells is one of the best solutions to drastically reduce air pollution<\/strong> and has also proven to be a valid solution for the decarbonization of transport<\/strong>. UFI Filters, a leading company in filtration and production of heat exchangers for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles, has been developing devices related to the use of hydrogen in fuel cells and related filtration issues<\/strong> since 2017, not only for applications on heavy goods vehicles but also for the future of car and light commercial vehicle mobility.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner el_class=”slider-right”][vc_column_inner el_class=”shadow-slider” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1686150709930{margin-bottom: 70px !important;}”]

\nSUPER ADSORBER<\/strong> is the brand that identifies cathode air filtration systems developed by UFI Filters.<\/p>\n

The Cathode Air Filter<\/strong> is essential to ensure the best operation of the fuel cell<\/strong>. Air quality is not the same everywhere; its’ characteristics depend on numerous factors such as temperature, altitude, local pollution, etc. Particulate and gaseous pollutants are compounds generated by human activities that are harmful to the fuel cell catalyst, the heart of the electrochemical reaction where air acts as an oxidizer in the reaction between oxygen and hydrogen to produce electricity.<\/p>\n

The UFI Filters cathode air filter has two layers<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The first layer mechanically blocks the particles<\/strong>. It’s a non-woven filter media characterized by different matrixes and thicknesses than other conventional filter media.<\/li>\n
  2. The second layer has a physical adsorption function for gaseous pollutants<\/strong> via the customized blending of specific activated charcoal types considering the performance needs of the vehicle design and service areas globally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    UFI Filters designs and produces cathode air filters of different types, according to the requirements of original equipment manufacturers (OEM) in the automotive sector, and also for other mobile and stationary applications, and for those clients that use fuel cell powered engines in their businesses.[\/vc_column_text]FIND OUT MORE<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”zbtabs section-original-equipement-2 section-slider” css=”.vc_custom_1686151069760{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_row el_class=”zbnavtab img-hidden”][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDdWwlM0UlMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlM0NsaSUyMGlkJTNEJTIydGFiMSUyMiUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydGFiLWNhdGVnb3JpZSUyMHRhYi1jYXRlZ29yaWUtMDElMjIlM0VDWUxJTkRSSUNBTCUzQyUyRmxpJTNFJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTNDbGklMjBpZCUzRCUyMnRhYjIlMjIlMjBjbGFzcyUzRCUyMnRhYi1jYXRlZ29yaWUlMjB0YWItY2F0ZWdvcmllLTAyJTIyJTNFU1BBUkUlMjBQQVJUUyUzQyUyRmxpJTNFJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTNDbGklMjBpZCUzRCUyMnRhYjMlMjIlMjBjbGFzcyUzRCUyMnRhYi1jYXRlZ29yaWUlMjB0YWItY2F0ZWdvcmllLTAzJTIyJTNFUEFORUwlM0MlMkZsaSUzRSUwQSUzQyUyRnVsJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_js]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[\/vc_raw_js][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”content-tab-categorie tab1 img-hidden”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1525422426070{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_row_inner el_class=”slider-left”][vc_column_inner el_class=”shadow-slider” width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”33857″ css=”.vc_custom_1685539185155{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]UFI Filters cylindrical cathode air filter is available in different sizes<\/strong>, depending on the OEM\u2019s requests, and based on the configuration of each fuel cell system. It maintains a dual function:<\/strong> solid particle filtration and gaseous contaminant absorption; also, it is characterized by a dual layer in the filtering cartridge, enclosed within a plastic body.<\/p>\n

    Thanks to this configuration, you can customize the filter layers composition based on a specific vehicle, on the region it will be used in, and\/or the running distance and useful life of the filter.[\/vc_column_text]ZOOM OUT<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”content-tab-categorie tab2 img-hidden”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”slider-left”][vc_column_inner el_class=”shadow-slider” width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”33861″ css=”.vc_custom_1685539194671{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The fuel cell catalytic converter is made of materials such as platinum. In this core, the electrochemical reaction necessary to transform oxygen and hydrogen into energy occurs. Therefore, it is essential that the air sucked by the catalytic converter is suitably filtered,<\/strong> to avoid compromising the cell performance and progressive wear. Toxic gases, such as SOX, NOX, H2S, CO, O3 and NH3, and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), such as benzene and toluene, whose concentration varies based on the geographical context, can drastically reduce the fuel cell performance, even at very low quantities. Therefore, it is important to rely on an original filter manufacturer, such as UFI Filters<\/strong>, which offers diversified cathode air filters<\/strong> based on each engine\u2019s requirements.[\/vc_column_text]ZOOM OUT<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”content-tab-categorie tab3 img-hidden”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”slider-left”][vc_column_inner el_class=”shadow-slider” width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”33865″ css=”.vc_custom_1685539202555{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]UFI Filters cathode air filter is available also in the panel version.
