**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一种高流量、坚固耐用的模块化加湿器，用于重型车辆 (HDV) 应用中的质子交换膜燃料电池 (PEMFC)。加湿器创新是由派克专有的中空纤维技术实现的，与同类最佳产品相比，可实现更高的流量和更长的使用寿命。独特的加湿器设计通过外壳内的智能中空纤维包装以及在产品服务或使用寿命结束时的无缝拆卸/回收实现了前所未有的性能。**竞争定位**拟议的项目与竞争对手保持一致，因为它的重点到 2024 年末通过物理加湿器子系统进行能力演示\。解决的竞争领域：“燃料电池和相关设备平衡”（100%）。**预期影响**利用公共资金展示加湿器原型将使 Parker 能够加速产品开发，并将加湿器创新定位于目前正在开发 PEMFC 传动系统的 OEM HDV 应用在未来十年进入市场。对 Parker 和当地经济的预期经济影响将是通过巩固该地区新产品的制造能力来创造新的就业机会并保障就业机会。这也意味着建立一个以创新 PEMFC 平衡为中心的、以英国为中心的价值链。工厂外 (BoP) 技术——英国公司尚未涉足的新兴市场，目前由德国、韩国和中国的公司主导。预期的环境影响是通过展示启用的净零加湿器技术，为英国汽车行业向零排放移动性过渡铺平道路。预计会对海洋和航空航天等其他市场产生潜在的溢出效应。**申请人和利益**该项目是由 Parker Hannifin（“Parker”）领导的单一申请人的努力。 Parker 是一家专门为各个行业提供运动和控制技术的大型企业。 Parker Dewsbury 工厂正在开发适用于 HDV 应用的过滤解决方案。不断变化的 HDV 市场动态和向净零推进的转变为 Parker 提供了一个机会，使其能够转向 PEMFC BoP 技术的开发，同时利用其在传统动力传动系统开发过滤解决方案方面长达十年的经验。
