Hy9 releases hydrogen generators for FC backup power applications

The Hy9 HGS-M series of hydrogen generators, using planar metal membranes, are designed for PEM fuel cell backup power applications requiring extended runtime hydrogen supply. It operates on a fuel mixture of methanol and water to provide extended runtime with a fuel consumption rate of under one-third of a gallon per kilowatt-hour. A 1.7 kW fuel cell can be powered for 24 hours on just 11 gallons of fuel. From standby, the unit will ramp to full output of hydrogen in less than one minute.

Hy9 Corporation: Based in Hopkinton, Massachusetts (USA), and a manufacturer of high performance fuel processing and hydrogen purification systems for the portable power, stationary and backup power, industrial gas and transportation markets. Hy9 Corporation’s technology portfolio for producing and purifying hydrogen is built around a planar metal membrane that extracts pure hydrogen from hydrogen containing gas mixtures much like a filter.
