β¦ Synopsis
June 2004 Fuel Cells Bulletin 11 of the original contract with the US Army [FCB, December 2003]. The new contract is worth $1 million.
The refueler and the vehicle will both be designed and manufactured by Quantum's Advanced Vehicle Concept Center in Lake Forest, California, and delivered to the US Army for demonstrations at military bases throughout the country.
The HyHauler Plus is a lightweight trailermounted dispensing system for hydrogen fuel, specifically designed for fast fills up to 350 bar (5000 psi) with up to 5 kg of hydrogen per fill. Quantum says the self-contained unit can be easily transported by a full-size pickup truck or sport utility vehicle, and it is anticipated that it will be able to deliver enough fuel for up to 11 light-duty off-road vehicles.
The refueler utilizes an on-board electrolyzer and an integral compressor which fills a cascade of Quantum's ultra-lightweight TriShieldβ’ storage tanks within the unit for eventual delivery to the FCV. Quantum will also design an easy-to-use dispensing system that will interface with the vehicle via an on-board touch screen control system. This is Quantum's third contract supporting the Army in the development of hydrogen fuel cell systems applications.
The US Army is currently evaluating FCVs because they feature a reduced thermal signature and near-silent propulsion. They would also have the capability to export electric power silently to power battlefield equipment, reducing the need to transport fuel to support battlefield operations.
