**Project Aim**The project aims to develop and demonstrate a high-flow, robust and modular humidifier for proton-exchange membrane fuel-cells (PEMFCs) in heavy duty vehicle (HDV) applications. The humidifier innovation is enabled by Parker's proprietary hollow fibre technology, achieving a higher flow rate and a longer lifetime compared to best-in-class products. The unique humidifier design enables an unprecedented performance thanks to smart hollow fibre packing within the housing and seamless disassembly/recycling at product service or end-of-life.**Competition Alignment**The proposed project aligns with the competition, as it is focused on capability demonstration through a physical humidifier subsystem by late 2024\. Addressed competition area: 'fuel cell and associated balance of plant' (100%).**Expected Impact**Using public funding to demonstrate the humidifier prototype will allow Parker to accelerate product development and position the humidifier innovation towards OEMs currently developing PEMFC drivetrains for HDV applications to enter the market in the next decade. The expected economic impact on Parker and the local economy will be the creation of new jobs and safeguarding jobs by anchoring the manufacturing capability for the new product in the area.It will also mean establishing a UK-based value chain centred around innovative PEMFC balance-of-plant (BoP) technologies -an emerging market not served yet by UK companies and currently dominated by companies from Germany, South Korea, and China. The expected environmental impact is to pave the way for the UK's automotive sector transition towards zero-emission mobility by demonstrating an enabling net-zero humidifier technology. Potential spill-over effects to other markets like marine and aerospace are expected.**Applicant & Benefits**The project is a single-applicant endeavour led by Parker Hannifin ('Parker'). Parker is a large industrial specialising in motion & control technologies for various industries. The Parker Dewsbury location is developing filtration solutions for HDV applications. The changing HDV market dynamics and shift towards net-zero propulsion provides an opportunity for Parker to pivot towards the development of PEMFC BoP technologies whilst building upon its decade-long experience in the development of filtration solutions for traditionally powered drivetrains.

**项目目标**该项目旨在开发和演示用于重型车辆（HDV）应用中质子交换膜燃料电池（PEMFC）的高流量和模块化加湿器。加湿器创新是由帕克专有的空心纤维技术实现的，与一流的产品相比，其流量更高，寿命更长。独特的加湿器设计可以归功于住房内的智能空心纤维包装以及在产品服务或寿命终止的无缝拆卸/回收中的智能空心纤维包装。地址竞争区域：“燃料电池和植物的相关平衡”（100％）。**预期的影响**使用公共资助来证明加湿器原型将使Parker能够加速产品开发，并将加湿器创新定位为当前开发PEMFC Drivetrains的OEMS，以在接下来的十年中进入市场。预期的经济对帕克和当地经济的影响将是通过锚定该地区新产品的制造能力来创造新的就业机会和维护工作。这还意味着建立一个基于英国的价值链，该价值链以创新的PEMFC Plant-Plant-Plant-of-plant（BOP）技术（BOP）技术 - 尚未由英国公司服务于英国公司，目前由英国公司统治了众多，并源于southerany and Southerany，又是韩国，并统治了这一点。预期的环境影响是通过证明启用零零加湿器技术，为英国汽车部门向零排放式移动性铺平道路。预计将对海洋和航空航天等其他市场的潜在溢出效应。帕克（Parker）是一家专门针对各种行业的运动和控制技术的大型工业。 Parker Dewsbury的位置正在开发用于HDV应用的过滤解决方案。不断变化的HDV市场动态，并向零净推进推进，为帕克提供了一个机会，可以使PEMFC BOP技术的开发转向开发其在开发传统动力传动系统的过滤解决方案中长达十年的经验。
