With conventional oxygen reduction systems, an air compressor, compressed air preparation, and a nitrogen generator are required to permanently lower the oxygen level in the protection zone. This results in ongoing costs that can exceed the original investment in just a few years.
The hydrogen-based fuel cell technology Oxeo EcoPrevent FC is significantly more economical. It is the first fire prevention system to protect vulnerable protection zones from fire with an emission-free and thus climate-friendly solution whereby the nitrogen-rich exhaust air from a hydrogen-based fuel cell is fed into the room in order to create a “fire-safe” atmosphere and thus actively prevent open fires.
The high degree of efficiency ensures that the fuel cell can not only create sufficient quantities of nitrogen for fire protection using small quantities of hydrogen, but it also generates power and heat which can be used for profit. The weatherproof, durable and easy-to-maintain design reduces operating costs and thus further increases the cost-efficiency of the Oxeo EcoPrevent FC.
Advantages at a glance
- Delivers fire protection for areas such as compact storage facilities or deep-freeze warehouses, which are very expensive to protect with conventional fire prevention systems.
- Prevents interruptions due to fire damage and thus ensures availability of goods
- With an efficiency level in excess of 90%, it delivers outstanding performance and high energy efficiency
- Reduces CO2 emissions by hundreds of tonnes each year compared to conventional oxygen-reduction systems
- Reduces dependence on network operators and fluctuating energy costs
