System offering
PowerCells fuel cell system converts road diesel to electricity in an energy efficient and environmentally friendly
manner, with minimal or no emissions and silent operations. The unit produces about 3kW of electric power.
PowerPac is a complete electric power-generating unit using ordinary low sulphur road diesel. The 3 kW PowerPac
can be optimized for many applications and markets, and deliver clean power using existing fuel.
Not only is this technology more efficient than other products, it is also much cleaner. PowerPac produces only a
fraction of the CO2 that other comparable systems emit. It produces no particles or nitrogen-/sulphur oxides.

Lower operating expenses: Diesel is the lowest

cost source of hydrogen and available even in
remote areas. The PowerPac is typically 2030 per cent more fuel efficient than a diesel
generator with batteries. It requires no on-site
maintenance. Exhausted components are easily
replaced for a long operational life. It is an operationally effective choice in many situations.

Rationalize activities, inventory and systems:

The system is typically simpler than alternatives,
and requires no on-site maintenance. Its components are not attractive to thieves. This allow
support systems to be rationalized.

Environmentally friendly: Low noise, reduced

carbon footprint, zero noxious emissions.

Lower operating expenses: The PowerPac

enables trucks to produce electricity for climate
control without running the engines when resting
or loading/unloading.
Improve driver environment: Powering of air
conditioning is possible for the entire night.
Reduced noise and vibrations from the system.
No emissions leads to good air quality.
Reduce impact on the environment: The
PowerPac system produces electricity with no
emission of NOx, CO and particles and with
much less CO2 exhausts.
An environmentally sustainable solution: An
increasing number of cities around the world
are banning idling, and end customers start to
demand green and environmentally sustainable
solutions from their suppliers and partners.

TECHNOLOGY

The technical solution

The Fuel Reformer

The Fuel Cell

The PowerPac

The heart of the PowerPac is the

patented and proprietary fuel
reformer, which converts
standard road diesel into
hydrogen rich gas.

The Fuel Cell stack is developed

to fit the hydrogen stream from
the fuel reformer and produce
power using fresh air with only
water as by-product.

The PowerPac electric generator

consists of three modules:

A mixture of diesel, air and

steam creates a heat neutral
reaction. All the conversion is
done by a catalyst and
therefore does not create any
harmful by-products like a
combustion engine does. The
hydrogen is fed to the fuel cell
anode.

The patented technology gives

an advantage for operations with
reformed fuels. The Fuel Cell has
a high efficiency, fast start up
and a robust design.

Features:
Zero emissions of NOx,
SOx, NMHC and PM
High fuel efficiency
Stable operation
Low pressure drop
Patented design

Features:
Fast start up power
High power density
Robust construction
CO tolerant
Low pressure drop
Patented design

The Fuel Cell fits well with

applications where any type of
start and stops are required.
