FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 11 -- Ener1, Inc., (BULLETIN BOARD: ENEI) , today announced that its EnerFuel fuel cell subsidiary has introduced a series of fuel cell humidifiers for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems.
The EnerFuel EFH-100 series solid state humidifier utilizes a Nafion(R)-free, hollow fiber material designed to make the humidifier highly durable. The light weight, compact humidifier provides high humidification effectiveness irrespective of flow rates. Other benefits include excellent tolerance to vibration.
