What makes a hydrogen fuel cell stack efficient, durable, and ready for real-world applications?
In this episode of Hyfindr Tech Talks, Roger Penn (AVL Fuel Cell Canada) joins Steven Oji (Hyfindr) to explain the engineering considerations behind fuel cell stack design. From voltage matching and thermal management to packaging, vibration resistance, and application-specific requirements, Roger shares insights from decades of experience in hydrogen fuel cell development.
You’ll learn about:
How the number of cells and active area define stack power and efficiency
The role of DC-DC converters in fuel cell stack integration
Polarization curves (voltage vs. current density) in design decisions
Managing heat rejection, compression force, and material stress
Shock and vibration resistance in automotive, marine, and rail applications
This episode is perfect for engineers, researchers, and innovators working on hydrogen fuel cell systems who want to understand what it takes to design robust, high-performance stacks.
