Looking back at the ten-year development of chemical engineering technology, let’s celebrate the prosperity and strength of modern China. This is just a starting point; more participation will make the discussion more lively. HAICHUAN becomes even better with you here. [A comprehensive overview of the ten-year progress in chemical engineering equipment] – updates are ongoing; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html. Prevention first, life first. ----------------------------------------- On November 8, 2023, Guangdong Cavero Hydrogen Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Cavero”) officially unveiled its self-developed, designed, and manufactured 250 Nm3/h PEM electrolyzer at the 7th China (Foshan) International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology and Products Exhibition (CHFE2023). This electrolyzer uses membrane electrodes developed and produced in-house. Its designed hydrogen production capacity is 250 Nm³/h; under normal operating conditions, the DC energy consumption is 4.3 kW·h/m³. Its load capacity ranges from 5% to 150%, with a maximum hydrogen production capacity of up to 375 Nm³/h. Cavero stated that the company has overcome the challenges associated with the production of large-area membrane electrodes, which ensures consistency among the membrane electrode sheets used in large-format electrolyzers and thus improves the consistency of the cell voltage. The PEM electrolyzer with a capacity of 250 Nm³/h released this time features high energy conversion efficiency, low energy consumption, and excellent compatibility with the fluctuations in renewable energy sources. The product features a lightweight design and a compact structure; it can produce up to 375 Nm³/h of hydrogen. Optimized hydrothermal gas management for high flow rates, along with consistent membrane electrodes over a large area, ensure stable and reliable operation of the electrolyzer while enhancing its durability. As a technology-driven company that integrates the research and development, design, manufacturing, and sales of hydrogen technology products, Cavero has been specializing in the field of hydrogen production through water electrolysis for over two decades. Its products are not only sold in the domestic market but have also been exported to various countries in Europe, America, and Australia, where they have received high praise. As of 2023, Cavero holds a total of 203 patents. According to the \"Top 100 Global Invention Patents in the Hydrogen Energy Industry 2022\" report published jointly by IPRdaily and incoPat, Cavero ranks 58th globally in terms of hydrogen energy-related patents. Thanks to years of experience in the research, development, and production of hydrogen via water electrolysis, Cavoro has mastered membrane electrode manufacturing technology to perfection. It has achieved modular production of electrolyzers, resulting in products with high efficiency, fast response times, and high current density. Kaworo has largely achieved domestic production of the key raw materials for PEM electrolyzers, as well as local manufacturing, which further reduces the cost of PEM electrolyzers and **enhances their market competitiveness. Cavoro continues to innovate in the development of new PEM electrolyzers. In 2023, building on its existing single-cell models with a capacity of 100 Nm³/h, the company optimized the product design and successfully introduced single-cell electrolyzers with a capacity of 250 Nm³/h. These electrolyzers weigh less than 4 tons and can be assembled in a modular, skid-mounted format, enabling fast and efficient installation of the entire system and thus reducing the time required for completion and delivery. Cavoro has also performed excellently in terms of exploring new markets and delivering orders; to date, it has delivered 2 MW-class PEM electrolyzers, along with one set corresponding to a wind-solar-hydrogen storage system ； Orders for the actual delivery of two PEM electrolyzers in overseas markets ； Delivered 2 high-flow electrolyzers to the semiconductor industry to replace traditional specialty hydrogen ； Current market orders are already scheduled until February next year.
