More Power - Less
Weight!
Fuel cells
for defense applications are gaining more
and more impetus.
With the growing need for electrical power the
total weight of power sources to be carried
along on a mission is increasing – a growing
component of the soldier's load is made up of
primary and backup power sources for electronic
systems like GPS, comms, computer C4ISR gear.
Reducing this load is a primary objective to
increase soldier survivability, lethality,
effectiveness and mobility, and mission
flexibility.

IQ
fuel cell technology is a high
power density fuel cell system for portable
electronics applications, IQ fuel cell Military
technologies provides a robust, compact, and low
weight solution for these soldier application

IQ Fuel Cell SFC’s Proven Commercial Success
IQ Fuel Cell SFC fuel cell and energy management
products for the military build on IQ Fuel Cell
SFC's long expertise in mobile off-grid power
applications. Thousands of IQ Fuel Cell SFC fuel
cells today are reliably and automatically
powering electrical devices on board of motor
homes, sailboats, and holiday cabins. They also
provide energy for off-grid sensors, measuring
and recording systems in traffic, biology,
surveillance, geology and many more
applications, independent of season and weather.

Soldiers lives can depend upon the availability
of power in the field.
IQ Fuel Cells
EFOY fuel cells provide
reliable power for the operation of sensors, for
the recharge of batteries or for electric
devices like radios, tough books, night vision
equipment etc. And they do so silently and fully
automatic, in any weather, maintenance-free.

Key Benefits
Ultra high energy capacity One 10l (8.4kg / 18.5
lb) fuel cartridge contains the same capacity as
52 BA5590 batteries (52kg / 115lb) or 10 lead
batteries (300kg / 661lb), making the
IQ Fuel Cells
EFOY
a real power horse in the
field.
Non detectable Compared to generators
IQ Fuel Cells
EFOY fuel cells produce almost
no noise (39 dB(A) at 1m distance). They can be
operated above or below ground, so they can be
completely hidden from view.
Plug and play Plug and play
IQ Fuel Cells
EFOY fuel cells
are compatible with all standard military
batteries such as BB2590 and any 12 / 24 V
batteries without requiring any additional
equipment. Simply press the on-button!
Maintenance free IQ Fuel Cells
EFOY fuel cells are completely maintenance free.
Equipped with sufficient fuel they can be left
in the field for weeks without requiring any
attendance. Of course, they can also be
remote-controlled.
Parallel cluster operation Need more power? With
the control interface you can operate up to five
IQ Fuel Cells
EFOYs in parallel, giving you a
continuous capacity of 300 W!

Data EFOY Fuel Cartridges
Independent operation for weeks
Three fuel cartridge sizes are available for
operation of your EFOY. SFC offers fuel
cartridges with 5 liters, 10 liters and 29
liters of methanol. For example, an off-grid
video camera will operate for up to 8 weeks on a
single 10 liter fuel cartridge without requiring
any intervention by the user.

IQ Fuel Cells for Standby Power Generation
OkSolar.com authorized government distributor.
Fuel cells are now available as an alternative source for renewable energy.
Unlike traditional power generators, they don't require gasoline to generate
power. They also provide an alternative to solar generators because they do not
depend on any external power gathering equipment. These units are compact,
durable, and built to power a wide range of applications.
The Best Generator Ever!

100%
Availability
The EFOY fuel cell
is maintenance free and absolutely
dependable. It guarantees that your
device will be 100% available regardless
of the weather; a clear advantage,
especially in inaccessible locations or
in critical applications such as
observation devices.
Quiet
The EFOY fuel cell
operates with hardly a sound. In fact,
it’s not any noisier than a laptop
computer. You can even use it to power a
surveillance camera from a parked car.
This is also an advantage in outdoor
applications compared to other
generators.
Fully
automatic
Your EFOY works
fully automatically. The built-in
Automatic Charge Control permanently
monitors the charge level of the battery
that powers the devices. If the battery
voltage drops below a level programmed
by the user, the fuel cell will cut in.
Once the battery has been recharged, the
fuel cell will cut out. You needn’t
worry about a thing.
Remote
Control
Every EFOY unit can connect to any RS
232 interface via the optional Interface
Adapter so as to allow for remote
operation from a laptop or PC. It is
likewise possible to operate and monitor
the unit from an office or via a mobile
telephone.
Theft
proof
The SFC fuel cell’s compact size allows
it to be integrated into a switch
cabinet. Solar cells, on the other hand,
need to be out in the open, which often
exposes them to theft or damage. The SFC
fuel cell is thus essentially
vandalism-proof.
Completely
Winterized
The EFOY fuel cell operates under a wide
range of temperatures from –20° C to
+40° C. An antifreeze mode automatically
prevents the fuel cell from freezing.
Methanol consumption in the antifreeze
mode is so low that a 10-liter fuel
cartridge is all that you need.
Temperatures as low as -35° C are
possible for special applications.
Need
more power? No Problem:
The new Control Interface
allows you to harness up to five EFOY
fuel cells in parallel, giving you a
capacity of up to 8,000 Wh per day.
The unit allows for simple integration
into existing facilities. Everything
that is needed for wiring and mounting
is already included as standard
equipment. There is no need to alter the
output or controls
All
IQ fuel cells are
direct methanol fuel
cells (DMFC):
On
the anode side, a
methanol-water
mixture is supplied
to the cell by the
internal fluid
management. One of
IQ's unique
capabilities is the
use of neat (100%)
methanol as the fuel
in the cartridge.
The cathode side is
supplied with air.
Both, the anode and
the cathode are
connected through an
electric circuit. In
contact with the
platinum catalyst
methanol
is converted into
carbon dioxide
(waste gas), protons
and electrons. The
electrons circulate
from the anode side
to the cathode via
the electric
circuit, while the
protons pass through
the membrane which
divides the cell. On
the cathode side,
the protons,
electrons, and the
oxygen react to form
pure water.
Due
to the heating of
the fuel cell while
operating the
evolving water is
emitted as water
vapor. Another
by-product is a
small amount of
carbon dioxide. The
overall amount of
by-products equals
the respiratory
exhalation of a
small child while
playing.
