General Hydrogen’s Hydricity Pack Power Systems
General Hydrogen’s Hydricity Packs are complete fuel cell systems. They directly replace lead-acid batteries in industrial vehicles and other applications. Hydricity Packs generate electrical power through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. They also produce only heat and pure water vapor in the entire process. Hydricity Packs can be used indoors.
The function of Hydricity Packs is unique. In the beginning, hydrogen from the storage tank and air from the atmosphere are humidified before entering the fuel cell stack. The humidified gases pass through the fuel cell stack and produce electricity, heat and water. Excess water vapor and heat produced in the process are exhausted through a radiator into the atmosphere. The electricity produced by the stack is conditioned to the required current and voltage. It is then delivered through the outlet to the lift truck motor or other electric load. An energy storage bank provides supplemental power when energy is required for lifting. Finally, when the hydrogen fuel is used up, the hydrogen storage tank is refilled by the operator using General Hydrogen’s fueling system.
