Accessories for HyPM Product Family

Heliocentris offers a variety of accessories around the HyPM Power Modules to enable their integration into a
wide range of applications. Please inquire for a customized solution that meets your needs.

DC Power Solutions As with all PEM Fuel Cell systems, HyPM Power Modules require a voltage regulation since
the output voltage varies depending on the current drawn.
Our modular and scalable DC/DC Converter Solution gives you the flexibility for a wide range of applications.
Please ask for a customized offer.

AC Power Solutions The DC/AC Inverter converts the DC power from your HyPM Power Module into 110 or
230 V AC power. Grid-connected and off-grid versions are available.

Energy Storage Solutions Our Electrical Energy Storage Solutions enable both the hybridization for high peak loads and the supply of
external power for start-up.

Thermal Management The Thermal Management Solution keeps your HyPM Power Module always in optimal
Solutions thermal conditions. It comprises a suitable radiator or heat exchanger and all necessary
connectors and tubing.

Hydrogen Supply Solutions Our Compressed Hydrogen Cylinder Connecting Kit is required to connect HyPM Power Modules
to compressed hydrogen cylinders. It contains a single stage pressure regulator, a connecting tube
and a mounting panel for compressed gas cylinders. Available for DIN, CGAor BS cylinders.

Please inquire for alternative hydrogen supply solutions.
