EMILY and JENNY – SFC Fuel Cells as the ideal power source for all critical mobile and stationary applications

Fuel cells and energy solutions from SFC Energy are suitable for a wide range of applications in defence and security organisations. The DMFC fuel cells, specially developed for the harshest conditions, function reliably in all climate conditions and are tested according to military standards (MIL-STD).

80 % weight reduction: Off-grid energy – Easy to transport

Up to 80% of battery weight can be saved with SFC Fuel Cells. This means that soldiers and other emergency services can plan with a minimum number of batteries and extend the duration of operations thanks to the weight and volume savings.

Questions and Answers

What do the fuel cells EMILY and Jenny weigh?

The SFC EMILY and JENNY Fuel Cells have the following weights:

SFC EMILY 3000: This fuel cell weighs 12.5 kg.

SFC JENNY 600S: With a weight of 1.7 kg, it is light and portable.

SFC JENNY 1200:These variant weighs 3.3 kg.

These weight specifications make the JENNY models particularly suitable for portable use, while the EMILY 3000 is designed for stationary applications.

How is the DMFC fuel cell connected to a battery?

The DMFC fuel cell is connected directly to the battery via its DC outputs, whereby the output voltage of the fuel cell is matched to the charging voltage of the battery. A battery management system ensures that the battery is charged safely and efficiently during operation.

How noisy is the SFC Fuel Cell?

The SFC Fuel Cells operate with a noise emission of around 45 dB(A), which corresponds to the noise level of a quiet flat or the twittering of birds. This low noise level is achieved by the almost mechanically-free operation of the fuel cells, which makes them particularly quiet and low-wear.

What is the difference between the EMILY and JENNY models and normal DMFC fuel cells?

The SFC EMILY and JENNY Fuel Cells are specially designed for military and safety-relevant applications and differ from conventional DMFC fuel cells in the following ways:

Military hardening:

Both models are robustly built to withstand the demanding conditions in the defence sector.

EMILY: Developed for the on-board power supply in vehicles, it enables electrical devices to be operated when the engine is switched off, and thus ensures an unobtrusive power supply.

JENNY: Designed as a portable unit, it provides soldiers in the field with a lightweight and reliable power source, significantly reducing the battery weight they need to carry.

Integration in tactical systems:

Both fuel cells can be seamlessly integrated into existing military energy management systems and thus support efficiency and flexibility in use.

These specific modifications make the EMILY and JENNY models particularly suitable for the requirements of defence organisations and security authorities.
