Fuel Cells


• High Reliability

• Long Autonomy

• Low Emissions

• Minimal Maintenance

• Quiet Operation

• Clean Technology “Green”

IdaTech ElectraGen™ ME Headquartered in Bend, Oregon - IdaTech designs, develops, and manufactures extended run backup power fuel cell products for critical applications. The ElectraGen™ ME is an extended run backup fuel cell power system, available in 2.5kW and 5kW configurations that can be scaled up to 15kW. The ElectraGen™ ME includes a fuel reformer that converts methanol and water liquid fuel (HydroPlus) into hydrogen gas to power the Fuel Cell. Operating on HydroPlus, the ElectraGen™ ME generates its own hydrogen, onsite and on-demand; elimating the need for delivery and storage of hydrogen.

* Extended runtimes with minimal fuel storage volume makes the ElectraGen ME a great replacement for less reliable, noisy, maintenance intensive diesel generators.

TEGs


Global Thermoelectric TEGsGlobal Thermoelectric is the world’s leading manufacturer of thermoelectric generators (TEGs). Global TEG’s are extremely reliable, low maintenance, long life generators capable of providing continuous DC power. Global TEG’s are designed to run on either propane, butane or natural gas and range in output size from 15 to 550 watts (can be combined to 5kW). TEGs are incredibly reliable, due in large part to the fact that they have no moving parts. TEGs rugged design makes them ideal for long-term unattended operation in remote locations that may be exposed to harsh conditions or where site visits are difficult.
