HUGIN NEWS/Heliocentris launches campaign for new industrial fuel cell systems at the Hanover trade show

21.04.2008
Berlin, Germany - 21 April 2008. Heliocentris Fuel Cells AG, a leading fuel cell system integrator, today presents three new industrial fuel cell systems at the Hanover trade show. The three new systems designed for OEM customers target different power classes and cooling systems. In the campaign Heliocentris demonstrates its extensive expertise as a system integrator. Heliocentris' new fuel cell systems integrate fuel cells from strategic partners Ballard Power Systems (Canada) and Schunk Group (Germany). The entire fuel cell system beyond the fuel cell itself is based on Heliocentris' in house development. The objective of Heliocentris has been to design open systems for use in a broad range of industrial settings with a focus on size and technical requirements. By launching these new systems Heliocentris further strengthens its technological reputation and expands its positioning within the fuel cell value chain. At the same time the company is further building its lead position as a system integrator in the international fuel cell markets. At the Hanover trade show Heliocentris will present two of these fuel cell systems equipped with Ballard's air-cooled fuel cells as examples of industrial applications. One system supplies back-up electricity with a performance of 350 W and is applied as an extension to an existing photovoltaic emergency power-supply. This system can be viewed at the SMA Technologie AG booth. The second system, displayed at Heliocentris' booth, is a 1200 W fuel cell system applied to a complete and self-sustaining power generation unit including hydrogen generation (electrolyser) and storage. The installation presented by Heliocentris is an example of a standalone grid-independent energy system. In addition to these air-cooled systems, Heliocentris is presenting a water-cooled system platform using Schunk fuel cells. This compact system allows the use of heat loss, for example, for heating purposes, therefore increasing total efficiency of the system. Dr Henrik Colell, CEO of Heliocentris Fuel Cells AG, comments: "This campaign strengthens Heliocentris' position as a leading system integrator for fuel cells and hydrogen applications. With these flexible fuel cell systems we can now easily adapt to our customer specific needs and requirements. The new systems allow us to now serve the demands of the market for industrial applications with its multitude of opportunities. " Heliocentris has also developed a new logo and consistent corporate design. A completely redesigned portal is available at www.heliocentris.com.
