for the invention titled “Mounting Device for a Fan Unit”

Spectronik has been awarded United States Patent No. US 12,092,132 B2 on 17 September 2024.

Invented by Zarli Maung Maung, Liew Jun Jia, Shen Hao and Jogjaman Jap, the patent titled “Mounting Device for a Fan Unit” describes an innovative design for quick and secure mounting of fan(s) onto a fuel cell system.

Competitive advantages compared to prior art include:

• Ability to lock/unlock fan unit in a single drop-in-and-twist motion without any fastener nor tool.
• Eliminate risk of fasteners (bolts & nuts) loosening and dropping into the fuel cell stack.
• Significant reduction in assembly time which translates to lower cost.
   

While the mounting device is primarily used for thermal management of Spectronik’s Closed Cathode Air-Cooled Fuel Cells, the invention can be universally applied to other sectors that utilize cooling fans in their systems.

Spectronik’s Protium Series fuel cells are already commercialized in 38+ countries worldwide and can be found in the air, on land, at sea and on rail – powering a host of mobile robots and urban electric mobility applications.
