Overview

Hydrogen fuel cells require high-capacity thermal control to maintain efficiency and protect stack longevity. The FC6 line provides six-fan, air-to-liquid passive cooling for demanding duty cycles, keeping coolant within optimal temperature ranges under heavy loads.

Each module integrates a brazed aluminium heat exchanger, six axial fans, and anti-vibration mounts, with options including Grayson’s Intelligent Thermal Controller for CAN-based fan regulation and plate heat exchangers to recycle waste heat.

With rooftop and vertical mounting, plug-and-play installation, and de-ionised water compatibility, the FC6 supports FCEVs and stationary power applications.

Available off-the-shelf or OEM-customisable, Grayson works with manufacturers to optimise performance for ambient limits, flow, heat rejection, and coolant temperature.
