Press invitation

Meet Swedish fuel cell developer PowerCell at Hannover Messe April 7 – 11 

Nordic fuel cell technology leader PowerCell will be present at Europe’s largest hydrogen, fuel cells and battery exhibition in Hannover April 7 – 11, 2014. PowerCell will be showcasing the reliable, quiet and environmentally friendly PowerPac and their fuel cell stacks, the S1 and S2.

PowerPac

Power Cell’s PowerPac takes power generation to a new level. By using worldwide available road diesel, electric power generation is now cleaner and more efficient than ever before. PowerCell’s fuel cell system converts road diesel to electricity in an energy efficient and environmentally friendly manner, with minimal or no emissions and silent operations. The unit produces about 3kW of electric power. 

PowerPac is a complete electric power-generating unit using ordinary low sulphur road diesel. The 3kW PowerPac can be optimized for many applications and markets, and deliver clean power using existing fuel. 

Not only is this technology more efficient than conventional products, it is also much cleaner. The PowerPac produces no toxic emissions due to the controlled catalytic process in the reformer. The conversion is also highly efficient making fuel cost low compared to traditional solutions. Since no combustion takes place the noise level is kept to a minimum.

Diesel fuel was the first choice for fuelling the system, as it for many years on will be the dominating fuel in the transport sector. Its high energy content makes it suitable also for remote off grid installations such as remote telecom towers. As diesel today in many countries is partly renewable it will be an attractive energy source and bridge the gap to the zero emission society.

Fuel cell stacks – S1 and S2

The Fuel Cell stack is based on PEM technology (Polymere electrolyte membrane). This is the most commonly used technology today, owing to its reliable and dynamic characteristics that allows for full power output within seconds. Another feature is the capability for extensive starts and stops. It uses metal bipolar plates and state of the art MEA to give a robust, low cost and high performance design. Some of the design features are patented.

The S1 fuel cell stack can be offered in 1-5 kW electric output, either with reformate capability or using pure hydrogen. Cell Voltage Monitoring (CVM) can be provided if the customers do not have its own solution.

PowerCell recently announced that they are in the final stage of development of its second fuel cell stack platform, the S2. The S2 platform is a complement the first generation fuel cell stack, the S1, as it covers a larger power range up to 25 kW, still with the same tolerance towards CO and reformate gas. The S2 uses proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology and is the choice for automotive applications.
