Large scale commercialization of fuel cells depends on their cost, durability, weight and size. Dynalene?s nanotechnology-based coolant fluid has shown significant promise to address all these issues by reducing operating cost, weight and size of a fuel cell and improving durability. In Phase III of the project, Dynalene proposes to commercialize the coolant by performing long-term (5000 hour) testing in-house as well as in subcontractor facilities under freeze-thaw conditions, and then provide the data to the fuel cell community. The main focus of the Phase III research is to validate the durability of the coolant under severe conditions such as temperature cycling and high electric field. Any result coming out of these testing would be utilized by Dynalene researchers to further optimize the coolant fluid.
