Fuel cell box

 

Description

Outdoor technical enclosures designed to house all the components required for a thermal or electrical cogeneration system, suitable for outdoor installation in compliance with the Italian Fire Prevention Regulation D.M. 13-07-11.

The prefabricated modules can accommodate fuel cell systems, complete with hydraulic and electrical connections, together with all the hydraulic and electrical accessories required for system operation, all integrated into a single solution.

Thanks to our in-house engineering capabilities, we develop and manufacture highly flexible modular solutions that can be configured according to the specific requirements of commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, data centres and small industrial applications.

Cabling and installation of switchboards made to design and customised according to specific technical requirements.

Hydraulic assembly of manifolds made and sized according to the required system capacity.

Powder-coated tubular iron base with integrated lifting system suitable for both crane slings and forklift handling.

Sharp or rounded powder-coated aluminium perimeter profiles and joints.

 

Details

Thanks to our in-house engineering capabilities, we develop customised plant room solutions designed to integrate with different system configurations and respond with a high degree of flexibility to the specific requirements of each project.

  • Structure:

    External powder-coated sheet metal outer casing with 1 mm galvanised sheet metal sandwich type panels insulated with rock wool sheets. Panel thickness from 25 to 80 mm. The cabinet is manufactured entirely from non-combustible materials.

  • Internal insulation

    of sandwich panels with non-combustible rock wool class A1 fire reaction in accordance with EN 13501-1, density 100 kg/m3 on all walls. Insulation thickness ranges from 20 to 80 mm.

  • Ventilation openings

    are designed in accordance with D.M. 13-07-11 and are fitted with rodent-proof mesh.

  • Openings

    Access doors are provided for system inspection and maintenance. Hinged doors are fitted with hinges and lockable handles.

  • Perimeter rubber seals

    are applied to provide protection against weather conditions.

  • The storage cabinet

    is manufactured from weather-resistant materials. Its clean, attractive appearance is enhanced by powder-coated anti-glare sheet metal panels

  • The external finish

    uses a thermosetting powder coating based on various colour polyester resins to ensure minimal aesthetic impact on the building. The coating provides high resistance to weathering, with selected pigments designed to ensure stability under exposure to light and heat. Resistance to acetic acid salt spray: 1,000 hours, in accordance with Qualicoat specifications (ISO 9227).
