SAFCell, Inc. (Pasadena, CA) has successfully achieved the second technical milestone on its 18 month development contract with Nordic Power Systems (NPS, Norway) to deliver
solid acid fuel cell (SAFC) stacks for incorporation into NPS’ diesel auxiliary power units (APUs). In the first week of August, 2010, SAFCell delivered a 250 W stack to NPS’ testing facility in
Porsgrunn, Norway. The SAFC stack was integrated and tested with NPS’ proprietary
cool flame diesel reformer system, converting the chemical energy of the diesel fuel directly into electrical power. Combining these two advanced technologies will result in lighter, and less costly, diesel fuel cell systems that NPS plans to market for both mobile and stationary auxiliary power applications.
