Dynalene FC
Fuel Cell Coolant
MSDS Technical Data SheetDynalene FC ™ is a nanoparticle and water-based coolant with extremely low electrical conductivity (less than 1.0 µSiemens/cm). It has been specifically designed to maintain a low level of electrical conductivity for at least two years while providing excellent heat transfer properties similar to a water-based fluid. This coolant is primarily used for cooling PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell stacks and liquid cooled computers. The low electrical conductivity of the coolant enables the fuel cell to work efficiently (without "short-circuiting" the cells) and safely (without electrical shock hazards).
Dynalene FC ™ also eliminates the use of de-ionizing filters in the fuel cell cooling loop, thus lowering the capital and maintenance cost as well as reducing the weight and volume of the fuel cell. Reduction of weight and volume is important for portable and automotive fuel cells. Dynalene FC was developed with a Small Business Innovation Research SBIR) Phase I and II grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE).
Dynalene FC ™ is the only thermal fluid that overcomes a major hurdle in the coolant technology for the thermal management of fuel cells and liquid cooled computers. It will make the fuel cells and liquid cooled computers safer to use and reduce the overall weight and volume of the cooling systems in these applications.
Dynalene FC ™ is also non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-flammable, and is produced with renewable materials. This coolant also utilizes the power of nanotechnology (using ion-exchange nanoparticles) to achieve the most important property criteria (electrical conductivity) set forth by the fuel cell industry. It is already a proven fuel cell coolant.
Dynalene FC ™ coolant is designed to suppress the formation of these ions by two different mechanisms. First mechanism deals with the use of non-ionic corrosion inhibitors that reduces the rate of corrosion of the metal components, which otherwise would increase the concentration of the ions in the coolant fluid. The second mechanism of ion suppression is by utilizing nanoparticles in the coolant fluid that would react with the free ions and immobilize them. Once the free ions are immobilized by the nanoparticles, they do not contribute towards the electrical conductivity. Nanoparticles are designed to immobilize both the positive and the negative ions in the fluid, and they continue to work that way until they are saturated with the ions.
