Inegrated ceramic heat exchanger and insulation material for solid oxide, PEM, HT-PEM and fuel cell reformer applications
 HEXIM™ is an economical insulation housing providing convective (or conductive) system thermal management with integrated air manifolds. HEXIM™ increases overall system efficiency by routing recuperated heat via integrated ducting.
HEXIM™ solutions are made by mass production techniques, allowing complex shapes at competitive costs. Through manufacturing knowledge and expertise in thermal management techniques, HEXIM™ insulation housings can reduce the number of components and simplify assembly. ENrG uses advanced ceramic materials and coatings resulting in minimal-to-no shedding. HEXIM™ is odor-free.
ENrG works with each customer to add functionality to insulation in a compact design. With the ability to include air manifolds, customize wall thicknesses, embed mechanical or thermal inserts and other functional details, ENrG combines your specific needs into a simpler, more efficient design.
ENrG Inc. Takes Ideas to Reality
As a developer and manufacturer of critical ceramic components for diverse energy applications, ENrG Inc. is a technology leader in the Power Generation, System Management and Environmental Control industry segments.
Starting with our Thin E-Strate™ substrate material as the building block we have developed ThinESC™, a highly durable and flexible membrane integral to commercializing fuel cell systems. HEXIM™ provides insulation, a thermal transport mechanism and air manifolds in integrated packaging solutions. Separation membranes aid in the capture of CO2, transport ions and remove contamination for improved environmental control.
