Hydrogenics to Provide Fuel Cells to APC for Extended Run Back-Up Power in Data Centers Tuesday August 19, 7:00 am ET
Turn-key fuel cell solution provides environmentally sound, cost effective, commercial offering for extended run backup power technologies
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 19, 2008 -- Hydrogenics Corporation (Toronto:HYG.TO - News)(HYGS - News), a leading designer and manufacturer of hydrogen electrolyzers and fuel cell systems, announced today that APC by Schneider Electric, a global leader in integrated critical power and cooling services, will soon launch an extended-run back-up power system powered by Hydrogenics' HyPM XR Fuel Cell Power Modules. The Fuel Cell Extended Run (FCXR), developed in collaboration with Hydrogenics, provides uninterruptible back-up power for mission-critical applications. The FCXR offers a lower total cost of ownership for runtime requirements greater than two hours when compared to lead acid batteries. Additionally, this solution is ideal for customers with space constraints or for companies that cannot operate a diesel generator due to noise or emissions concerns. The FCXR produces highly efficient, emission-free electrical backup power using air and stored hydrogen. Using hydrogen fuel cells lowers operating costs, increases reliability, and extends runtime duration, while reducing maintenance cost, and minimizing environmental impact.
APC's next generation Fuel Cell Extended Run product, which produces emission free electrical backup power using air and stored hydrogen, is available in 10 kW increments up to 30 kW contained in a single 19-inch rack. Developed in collaboration with Hydrogenics Corporation following the completion of a multiple unit field trial program; the second generation FCXR uses Hydrogenics' HyPM XR Fuel Cell Power Modules. Hydrogenics will be providing a turn-key critical application power systems to APC. This solution is in addition to the existing Fuel Cell Power Module agreement in place since August 2006. This solution includes power electronics, cooling, and system controls in a standard APC modular rack mount. The FCXR supports APC's 3-Phase Symmetra PX product line for uninterruptible power and adds a new dimension for extended backup time to APC's InfraStruXure architecture.
"APC's next generation fuel cell backup product represents one of the first commercial uses of fuel cell technology for data center environments," said John DiPippo, senior vice president, APC Data Center Solutions, Software and Services. "The next generation FCXR incorporates key improvements based on the successful commercial trials of our earlier fuel cell solution deployed during the past two years. We believe APC's new fuel cell product provides the right combination of power capacity and innovative hydrogen-based technology to meet market demand."
