What Is Humidicore™?

 A porous cylindrical wheel coated with desiccant rotates slowly inside the Humidicore housing.  This transfers thermal energy from the fuel cell exhaust to the fresh reactant stream. Typically, the Humidicore unit recovers 75-85% of exhaust enthalpy.
While the Humidicore™ is an excellent humidifier, it also serves as the exhaust condenser and the supply blower aftercooler.
Emprise now offers the Humidicore™ humidifier in three production sizes for 1.5, 7.5 and 10 kW fuel cell systems.  Licensing arrangements are also available.
