Two-year test of gas cell systems of the Australian-German manufacturer Ceramic Fuel Cells finally
Oldenburg/Heinsberg - the north German energy service provider EWE, which Australian-German developers for gas cell technology Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited (CFCL) and Bruns heating technique from the region Oldenburg have with the common development of high-efficient gas cell systems an important milestone reached. A field test with three NetGen plus (NGP) gas cell systems, which could prove up to 15.000 operation hours with a fuel cell pile in the field, became now successfully patch. At the same time new tests were started, this time with the newest system generation in the context of the co-operation of CFCL and Bruns heating technique.
Valuable experiences for all partners involved could be gained by the field test. In addition among other things the confirmation of capability characteristics of the gas cell system counts during a longer period under material site conditions. Beyond that Strungsquellen could be determined and eliminated as well as discovered development potentials. These realizations were used for the advancement of the technology.
As at the beginning this yearly announced, EWE acquired also three BlueGen of systems for test and demonstration purposes of CFCL. BlueGen is the newest product on basis of the CFCL Brennstoffzellentechnologie for the stationary employment in Europe. The devices in the size of a dishwasher use natural gas as fuel and convert this high-efficiently into river and warmth. The electrical efficiency amounts to thereby up to 60 per cent. An innovative solution on basis of the force heat coupling with a large potential. In the group with a conventional boiler the entire heat requirement of a single family house is covered. The first equipment was taken in July 2010 in enterprise. The interaction of all system components is momentarily tested.
