โฆ Synopsis
The DCH Enable fuel cell system will run on 100% natural gas, 100% hydrogen or any mix of the two. Running directly on pure hydrogen, the system can respond to demand loads in microseconds. Running on natural gas using an integrated reformer, the system responds as fast as or faster than other alternative energy back-up power supplies, including microturbines. DCH's duel-fuel architecture is able to follow rapid increases in electrical load regardless of reformer response by making up the difference through hydrogen insertion.
The new DCH patent, and several trade secrets surrounding the patent, are critical to the company's commercialization plans. The improvement is an innovative passive water management system that increases both power density and operating stability. The company's passive fuel cell technology is based on, and licensed from, technology developed at Los
