Fuel Cell Stack 5kW

Hear from Our Customers:

"Horizon stacks are very flexible for research and education. It is very didactic. The students compare the properties of the fuel cell stack with increasing power and also gain knowledge about the construction of the fuel cell stack-not only for power but also for the electrical needs of the system, cooling, etc." - Professor Magdalena Dudek, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Energy and Fuels in Kraków, Poland
"What really set Horizon apart was how fast and reliable the delivery was. Most manufacturers told us we'd have to wait a month, but with Horizon, we just sent an email and it arrived within a week — and it's coming from Europe!" - Somia Rehman, Team President, McMaster University, Canada

5kW Fuel Cell and Hydrogen

Safety Requirements

Do not attach or detach power cables when the fuel cell stack is turned on. Warranty is void if the fuel cell stack is dismantled or otherwise modified. Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and flammable substance.  Always operate and store the fuel cell stacks and hydrogen storage canisters in an area with ample ventilation. Fuel cell systems should always be equipped with a highly accurate hydrogen sensor to detect any hydrogen that has escaped within the system or from the hydrogen storage canister. Please refer to the H-5000 User Manual to see the full list of the safety requirements for the product.
