That speaks for our fuel cells
Conventional power sources are often unreliable or only offer short periods of self-sufficiency. Solar systems cannot guarantee a reliable power supply all year round, batteries have a very limited autonomy and generators produce harmful exhaust gases. EFOY and EFOY Pro fuel cells are the ideal power generators to meet all the requirements for stationary and mobile applications.
100% reliable
100% power availability thanks to the hybrid circuit of battery and fuel cell. The EFOY / EFOY Pro fuel cell continuously monitors the state of charge of the battery and charges it automatically – so your application is always reliably supplied with power. The EFOY produces electricity in any weather, at any time of the year, anywhere. The high reliability of the power supply with the EFOY fuel cell reduces costs. Downtimes are avoided.
Long service life, low maintenance
EFOY & EFOY Pro fuel cells provide off-grid power for months – without any user intervention. EFOY Pro uses the fuel methanol – an alcohol with an extremely high energy density. Ten liters contain methanol
11.1 kWh of energy. Four 28 liter fuel cartridges can operate a 50 W device independently for around 26 weeks.
Quiet and environmentally friendly
During operation, only small amounts of carbon dioxide and water are produced. Thanks to the environmentally friendly power generation process, the EFOY & EFOY Pro can also be used in nature reserves as well as in closed vehicles and rooms. The fuel cells are also suitable for use in undercover investigations due to their low-vibration and quiet operation without heat generation.
Lightweight and compact
With a weight of 6-8 kg and a size of 448 x 198 x 275 mm, the EFOY & EFOY Pro fits into any box or control cabinet and can be easily transported.
Remote Monitoring / Remote Monitoring
The EFOY & EFOY Pro fuel cell can be monitored and controlled via modem. It informs the operator about pending fuel cartridge changes, creates planning security and reduces the administration and maintenance effort.
Reduces operating costs
Batteries have a very limited autonomy. Whether in the vehicle, on the construction site or in a control cabinet, if an application is only supplied by batteries, frequent battery changes and thus the costs of keeping the application running are extremely high. With an EFOY fuel cell, deep discharge of the batteries is avoided, self-sufficiency is increased many times over, and downtimes and service intervals are minimized, thus significantly reducing costs.
“Reliable Power Source”
There are many innovative surveillance solutions and technologies on the market, but without power, these solutions are useless. A reliable power source is the key to success.
Optional accessory for EFOY & EFOY Pro
The right accessories for your fuel cell
There are various optional accessories for your EFOY & EFOY Pro fuel cell¹. Operate the EFOY on site via the control panel or remotely from a laptop, smartphone or tablet. With the EFOY accessories, you can monitor your fuel cells around the clock, integrate them into an existing communication network and extend the autonomy of your systems.
Remote monitoring with EFOY Cloud
EFOY fuel cells are often used in remote locations and require secure remote access. With the EFOY Cloud you have access to your methanol fuel cells from anywhere and can monitor ongoing operation via laptop, tablet or smartphone. All you need is an internet connection to your fuel cells. For example, track the current operating status of each of your fuel cells, historical data or fill levels of the EFOY fuel cartridges. Configure battery parameters as needed and receive firmware updates fully automatically. The integrated alarm management informs you, for example, by e-mail about an upcoming fuel cartridge change or about a battery voltage that is below the limit value.
EFOY fuel cartridge manager for even more self-sufficiency
EFOY fuel cartridges for industrial applications are available with 5, 10, 28 or 60 l content. With the Fuel Cartridge Manager (FM), it is possible to operate several EFOY fuel cartridges on one EFOY. Depending on the model, two, four or eight fuel cartridges can be connected at the same time. The fuel cartridge manager automatically switches from the current to the next full fuel cartridge and ensures a long autonomy time without user intervention.
