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
3」Heat Applications
Celmet™ has been considered as naturally air-cooled heat sink for automotive.
-
High performance
Miniaturization by improved cooling performance
-
Materials

-
ebullient cooling (the starting point of boiling)
-
electrical heating (Ni-Cr)
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™.
