Hydrogen fuel cell components

DC/DC converters and balance-of-plant parts for fuel cell integrators

HY-PART sources the power electronics and BOP components that hydrogen fuel cell systems are built from — isolated and non-isolated DC/DC converters, air and cooling subsystems, hydrogen valves and electrical accessories. Engineering-led selection, fast samples, one point of accountability.

Components we source and supply

Six product families covering the electrical, thermal, pneumatic and hydrogen-side subsystems of a fuel cell power system.

Isolated DC/DC

High-density soft-switching isolated converters that decouple the fuel cell stack from the downstream bus, with full input-output insulation and liquid cooling.

Core product

Low-power DC/DC

Non-isolated buck-boost modules developed for stationary fuel cell generation and forklift applications, in 2 kW to 8 kW bands.

Own brand

Air system

Humidification and filtration parts that condition the cathode air stream — the module most often specified as a system.

Distributor

Cooling system

Integrated heat sinks, magnetic-drive pumps, deionizers and particulate filtration for closed-loop stack cooling.

Distributor

Hydrogen system

Valves, fittings and pipelines rated for hydrogen service, including ISO 22734-class components.

Distributor

Accessories

High-voltage connectors, current sensors, discharge resistors and controllers that complete the electrical architecture.

A component partner, not a catalogue

We are engineers who source. The part we recommend is the part that fits your electrical envelope, not the one that is easiest to ship.

Engineering-led selection

Power electronics engineers review your electrical envelope and recommend the right part, rather than passing your request along and hoping.

Integrated supply chain

We hold working relationships across the full component set, which means a system-level package can be sourced from one place with one point of accountability.

Speed to first sample

Catalogue models are selected quickly and dispatched as soon as the model is confirmed, so you can validate in the market while the design is still open.

Application experience

SiC semiconductor application experience informs converter design choices across fuel cell, storage and industrial power.

Where our components go

From 500 W UAV propulsion to 300 kW stationary generation. The application determines the electrical envelope, and the envelope determines the converter.

Stationary power generation

Continuous grid-parallel and off-grid generation for telecom sites, industrial parks and remote installations.

Typical 10 kW – 300 kW

Communication base stations

Backup and primary power for telecom base stations where diesel cost and emissions drive the fuel cell case.

Typical 3 kW – 30 kW

Unmanned aerial vehicles

Aerial fuel cell propulsion where endurance, not just range, sets the mission radius.

Typical 500 W – 6 kW

Material handling forklifts

Forklift drivetrains where rapid refuelling and long shift runtime justify the stack.

Typical 2 kW – 30 kW

Mobile backup power

Trailer-mounted and vehicle-integrated backup systems for emergency and disaster response.

Typical 5 kW – 50 kW

Rail and maritime

On-board and shore-side applications governed by EN 50121 rail and marine EMC requirements.

Frequently asked

What is an isolated DC/DC converter in a fuel cell system?
A fuel cell stack outputs a variable DC voltage that drifts with load and state of charge. The DC/DC converter regulates it to a stable bus voltage for the downstream inverter or DC load. An isolated converter also electrically separates the low-voltage stack side from the high-voltage bus, which removes a common insulation failure path between the stack and the cooling loop.
Do you supply complete fuel cell systems or components?
Components. We source and supply power electronics and balance-of-plant parts — DC/DC converters, air system parts, cooling parts, hydrogen valves and fittings, connectors and sensors — for system integrators who build the system themselves.
What information do you need to recommend a model?
Four things: stack rated power, stack output voltage range, required downstream bus voltage, and your application. With those we can usually propose a model and a lead time in the first reply.
What is the lead time for samples and bulk orders?
Samples of standard catalogue models are typically dispatched once the model is confirmed. Non-standard or customized configurations take longer because they route to the factory. We confirm timing in writing before you commit.
Can you customize the converter for our stack?
Yes. Custom power and voltage configurations are part of our service. Tell us the electrical window your stack produces and what the downstream bus needs, and we will tell you whether it is a catalogue fit or a custom build.
