Case Study: Morphic Exergy, Bologna, Italy
| Application: | 150 Watt Power Systems for Recreational Vehicles and Motor homes. | |
|---|---|---|
| Requirements: | A low cost and compact fuel cell humidifier that was scaled up in production to meet delivery of 2,500 units over a 5 month period. | |
| Solution: | The dPoint Px1-32 humidifier was designed specifically for Portable Power Applications with a dew point approach temperature of 6°C a pressure drop of 1.5kPa and lifetime of at least 2000 hours. dPoint invested in and commissioned high-volume production equipment and tooling, and created a production work cell capable of producing 1000 humidifiers per month. |
 |
| Results: | dPoint has successly scaled their production line and has delivered Px1-32 fuel cell humidifiers to Morphic Exergy on-time. Production capacity was increased by 370% after the first month of high-scale production. The investment in high-volume production equipment and efficient manufacturing work cell will enable dPoint to pass on savings to other customers, thereby helping to ensure the commercialization of fuel cell systems. | |
"DPoint has become a partner of the highest importance in our supply chain, as we move forward in our process of becoming one of the first companies to commercialize fuel cells. Humidification is one of the most expensive components in the fuel cells system and innovative and cost effective humidifier design has helped Morphic Exergy achieving our cost targets."
