Sealing Technology 3 It won the award for an integrated subassembly that can be manufactured inexpensively and in a function-and quality-assured manner. This significantly increases the functional reliability and durability of the fuel cell. The f-cell Award 2008 comes with EUR15 000 prize money. The company submitted a bipolar plate module with inside-mounted cooling zone and integral seals for consideration in this competition. The sealing technology plays a key role in the development and production of the module. The seals can combine and seal a number of functional parts simultaneously, thereby creating a compact and flexible subassembly. No complex process stages are needed for this innovation. This development meets the requirement for series production of key fuel cell components.
The project, which was supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, was led by Freudenberg and run in conjunction with two other companies, Schunk and Vliessmann. 'We are very proud of this award,' says Dr. Stefan Geiss, head of the Seals for Fuel Cells business unit. 'With our innovative products, we are advancing developments in the fuel cell sector.'
In addition to the f-cell-Award 2008, Freudenberg recently won another award. The company won third prize in the so-called 'Poster Session' with the theme 'low-viscosity elastomers' for fuel cell seals. These elastomers will allow for improved processing during seal production.
