SMARTER SOLUTIONS FOR A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE
FCgen® – 1300 Series
Ballard's FCgen®-1300 fuel cell is a low-cost,
liquid-cooled proton exchange membrane (PEM)
fuel cell product line specifically designed for
stationary applications. Available now to
customers with fuel cell stack integration
capabilities, the product is especially suited for
incorporation into systems developed for the
backup power and distributed generation
markets.

The fuel cell stack offers long life, whether
operated continuously for baseload power
generation, or intermittently, providing peak
power during times of high demand. This
reduces overall system maintenance, delivering
a strong economic return over the life of the
product.
-5 to 70° C
Start-up temperature
Capitalizing on its leadership position in PEM
fuel cell research and development, Ballard has
developed a fuel cell product suitable for
applications where load-following capability,
reliability and cost optimization are key
requirements.

1. Values achieved at Ballard-specified conditions at the beginning of operational life.
The hydrogen fuelled FCgen®–1310 product is
available now in production quantities in a
number of cell configuration options. This
fuel cell stack powers Ballard's CLEARgen™
distributed generation system. The next
generation of this product, capable of operating
on reformed natural gas, is currently under
development.
Ballard Power Systems also offers application
engineering support to ensure lifetime and
performance is maximized through the system
development process.

engineering support services and pricing.
2. This reflects nominal fuel consumed at rated power and not actual flow rate. This is consistent with a pure hydrogen
system using recirculation.
3. Stack core width [490mm] & height [180mm] are constant for all configurations.
