PROTIUM-1500
cannot be mounted in any orientation due to internal routings of the gas streams within the fuel
cell stack.
The fuel inlet must always be higher than the fuel outlet. The stack should also be level to ensure water does not
get trapped in the Cathode channels, obstructing the oxidant flow and causing potential performance drop and
cell damage.
Mount PROTIUM-1500 in the recommended configuration above.
For optimal oxidant and cooling airflows, it is also recommended that there is
at least 15cm unobstructed
clearance in front of the protective mask and oxidant blower inlet, and 30cm unobstructed clearance behind the
cooling fans’ outlet.
