Application
1」Catalyst Carrier
Celmet? has been adopted as industrial deodorizing catalyst.
-
Improve performance
Compared to ceramics, the amount of catalyst carrier is increased due to its large surface area.
-
Low pressure loss
Compared to porous alumina, Celmet? demonstrates a better balance between low pressure loss and high catalyst carrier.
-
Durability and strength
Compared to ceramic filter, Celmet? is durable and can be used repeatedly.
2」Photocatalyst Carrier
Celmet? can work as air cleaner filter.
-
Removal rate of toxic substance is improved due to its large surface area of Celmet?
-
Quickly respond to light irradiation
-
Celmet? as a metal has impact resistance and durability

4」Grease Filter
Celmet? has been adopted in restaurants and commercial facilities.
-
Compared to baffle filter, Celmet? has higher collection performance due to its large surface area.
-
The material (nickel) can be repeatedly used by alkaline washing.
-
Compared to metal fiber or ceramic, Celmet? has less chipping and mechanical degradation, improving safety.
-
Compared to stainless steel baffle filter, Celmet? has better fireproof performance due to lower thermal conductivity.
-
The weight is one-third of baffle filter.
5」Electrodes of Alkali Water Electrolysis
Celmet? has been considered as industrial hydrogen generator.
- Advantages of applying Celmet?
-
Voltage reduction of alkaline water electrode cell
Celmet? is metal foam so that a zero-gap structure is possible and can reduce resistance of solution.
-
Improvement of hydrogen generation efficiency
Compared to lath or mesh, applying Celmet? to hydrogen electrode can increase the amount of hydrogen without increasing the cell voltage due to its large surface area.
6」Fuel Cells (SOFC)
Celmet? has been adopted as current collector and gas flow path of industrial and institutional fuel cells.
-
No need for complex gas flow.
-
Celmet? can make interconnector thinner so that Celmet? functions as gas flow path and gas diffusion.
-
High porosity can reduce pressure loss.
-
Celmet? can improve the fuel availability because fuel gas flows uniformly.
-
Ni alloy Celmet? can be applied as air electrode, because it has good oxidation resistance.
7」Fuel Cells (PEFC)
Celmet? has been adopted as current collector and gas flow path of fuel cells for lift trucks
-
No need for GDL and separators with complex gas flow path, and lower pressure loss.
-
Celmet? functions as gas flow path, gas diffusion and current collector.
-
Lower resistance and high-strength compared to carbon paper.
-
Higher current collection performance and improved flooding resistance – drainage is improved by capillary of Celmet?.
