Methanol fuel cell system addresses telecom backup power needs
The product is fuelled by methanol and features a number of enhancements that further improve reliability, durability as well as ease of maintenance and servicing. From a reliability perspective, the next-generation product is said to offer more than 25% increase in system mean time between failures (MTBF) and a three-fold increase in cycle life through upgrades to the fuel processor module.
Durability has also been extended through the increased use of corrosion-resistant coatings on many system components as well as improvements to the fuel level sensor and fluid flow paths. Finally, servicing and maintenance have been made easier through added functionality in system firmware, along with better component access and labelling.
These methanol-fuelled systems include a fuel reformer that converts HydroPlus (a methanol-water liquid fuel mixture) into hydrogen gas to power the fuel cell.
