Fuel Cell Tail Drain Tank 5L 304 Stainless Steel Integrated Muffler Optional Level Sensor

Fuel Cell Dedicated Tail Drain Tank Adapting to 5~15kW Systems 5L Capacity Integrated Muffler 304 Stainless Steel Suitable for Forklifts Optional Level Sensor

Quick Detail:

• Tail drain tank developed specifically for small proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems
• Applicable power range: 5~15kW (mainly used in fuel cell forklifts and other special vehicles)
• Core function: collects and temporarily stores the liquid water discharged by the fuel cell system, and discharges it to a designated location in scenarios where it cannot be drained at any time
• Capacity: 5L
• Integrated muffler: reduces tail exhaust gas noise and improves vehicle NVH performance
• Optional level sensor: outputs a signal when the level reaches the set height, prompting timely drainage
• Material: 304 stainless steel (corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, long life)
• Application scenario: forklifts and other special vehicles that cannot drain at any time

Description:

In a fuel cell system, the water generated by the stack chemical reaction needs to be periodically discharged from the system. In the application scenarios of special vehicles such as forklifts, when the vehicle operates indoors such as in warehouses and workshops, it cannot discharge water to the ground at any time, so the water generated by the fuel cell system must be collected into a storage tank for temporary storage, and discharged in a centralized manner after the vehicle travels to a designated drainage area.

This tail drain tank has a capacity of 5L, meeting the water storage demand of small fuel cell systems (5~15kW) for a certain period under typical working conditions. The tank body uses 304 stainless steel material, with excellent corrosion resistance and structural strength, able to operate reliably over the long term in the complex temperature and humidity environment of the fuel cell system.

The product integrates a muffler function, effectively suppressing the exhaust noise while collecting the tail drain water. Aiming at the characteristics of the fuel cell tail exhaust noise (wide frequency band, high frequency), its muffler product insertion loss exceeds 20dB, with good noise reduction in the 1000~10000Hz frequency band; it uses a stainless steel straight-through pipe design with small exhaust back pressure and good corrosion resistance.

The product can be optionally equipped with a level sensor, installed inside the tank, to monitor the water level in real time. When the stored water reaches the set level, the sensor outputs a signal to the fuel cell system controller, prompting the operator to discharge the water to a designated location in time and preventing the tank from overflowing. The sensor type can be optionally float type.

Applications:

This product is widely used in small proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems, specifically including:

• Fuel cell forklifts (indoor operation scenarios such as warehouses and workshops, where drainage cannot be done at any time)
• Fuel cell special vehicles (operation scenarios requiring centralized drainage in specific areas)
• Small stationary fuel cell power stations
• Fuel cell system test benches

Typical application scenario: when forklifts and other construction machinery operate in indoor scenarios such as warehouses and workshops, they cannot discharge the water generated by the fuel cell reaction to the ground at will. The system first collects the water into the tail drain tank for temporary storage, and discharges it in a centralized manner after the vehicle travels to a designated drainage area. The 5L capacity meets the water storage demand of small fuel cell systems for a certain period under typical working conditions.
