Skive, Denmark – Dantherm Air Handling announces that it has signed a purchase agreement with Ballard Power Systems, Canada. The agreement is effective immediately, and extends to mid-2009. Dantherm has chosen Ballard as supplier of 1kW and 2kW Mark 1020 ACS fuel cell units, for integration into Dantherm’s backup power products for European telecommunications customers.
Backup power solutions based on fuel cell technology deliver a number of significant advantages over conventional batteries and diesel generators, including higher reliability over a wide range of operating conditions; lower maintenance costs; longer operating life; and reduced size, weight, installation footprint, and environmental impact. The Mark1020 ACS fuel cell provides all of these advantages to power sub-system integrators, and enables an extremely compact and cost-effective backup power solution with its air-cooled design.
“This agreement with Ballard marks the official beginning of a strong and growing partnership with the leading provider of fuel cell products,” said Per Albæk, Managing Director of Dantherm Air Handling A/S. “We selected Ballard’s Mark1020 ACS fuel cell for our products because it is simply the best air-cooled fuel cell on the market today in terms of performance, reliability, and price. Using Ballard’s product offering and fuel cell expertise, we provide backup power solutions available for sale today to customers who see the compelling value proposition fuel cell technology provides to the telecommunications market.” |
