Transportation:

Hy9’s HPS^TM purifiers and HGS^TM hydrogen generators facilitate the deployment of fuel cell systems for transportation applications, including forklifts, auxiliary power units, fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen generation for refueling. Hy9 systems deliver hydrogen on demand at costs substantially less than delivered compressed hydrogen gas.

Fuel Cell Powered Forklifts Deliver Benefits Beyond "Green"

Fuel Cell powered fork lifts eliminate the pollution of internal combustion (IC) powered trucks and provide a compelling alternative to battery powered fork lifts from an economic perspective, eliminating the downtime associated with battery change out, and reducing the facilities and labor requirements associated with battery recharging. Eliminating the "battery room" increases the productive warehouse area. Refueling with hydrogen takes only a few moments whereas changing the battery pack takes substantially longer.

Powering forklifts with PEM fuel cells requires cost effective and convenient sources of hydrogen. Delivered, compressed hydrogen gas is not cost effective and a barrier to smaller material handling facilities which do not require and can not afford a cryogenic liquid hydrogen infrastructure. Hy9's HGS hydrogen generators configured with appropriate compression, storage and dispensing systems meet the fueling need of small and medium material handling facilities.

Auxiliary Power Units

Hy9’s purifiers can also be used in PEM fuel cell based auxiliary power units in a wide variety of applications for clean, quiet and efficient power generation. APUs are used in a wide variety of applications, including military, commercial and consumer markets, including marine APUs for “hotel power”; cooling systems for refrigerated trucking; power generators for “hotel power” and engine idle reduction on eighteen wheeler cabs; and vehicle-mounted power generators for tanks and other military vehicles.

High Purity Hydrogen for Automotive

Hy9’s hydrogen generators and hydrogen purifiers are a leading choice for energy and transportation applications. We recognize the primary barriers to the acceptance of hydrogen for fueling vehicles are the ready availability of and guarantee of pure hydrogen at an acceptable price. Hy9's HGS-M hydrogen generation systems deliver hydrogen in excess of 99.9999% purity, exceeding the SAE J2719 standard, ensuring hydrogen fueling systems will meet the latest, stringent ISO standards for fuel purity and work seamlessly with hydrogen internal combustion and fuel cell vehicles. Click here for a report from Smart Chemistry verifying that Hy9 systems surpass this important purity standard.

Key to accelerating this transformation from batteries and internal combustion engines to fuel cells, however, is making hydrogen available for vehicle fueling at an acceptable cost; particularly at smaller distribution centers. Hy9's HGS hydrogen generators provide a cost effective and compact source of locally generated hydrogen wherein fuel cell adopters manage their supply of hydrogen at a cost less than delivered, compressed gas.
