Highly Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Battery Charger for Remote Power

Background

Providing power in remote locations has always presented a challenge. Traditional solutions either require recharging of batteries or refuelling of combustion engines and the frequency by which this has to be done increases costs and logistics. Whilst using renewable energy has environmental benefits, the intermittency of supply reduces dependability. NanoDynamics Energy’s RevolutionTM 60C provides a solution that reduces the logistics of recharging/refuelling (through increased runtime), gives environmental benefits and provides reliable power.

Advantages of NanoDynamics Fuel Cells (Revolution™ 60C)

• Fuel
• Propane – readily available and already used in RV markets
• Emissions Savings - lower CO2 emissions due to higher efficiency
• No NOx or SOx
• No particulate emissions 
• System
• Load follows
• Low noise – batteries can be charged at anytime with minimal pollution
• Very low vibration
• Indoor and outdoor use
• Portable
• Performance
• 12-14hrs at full load (continuous use, 400grams Propane)
• 14-16 hrs at 80% (continuous use, 400grams Propane)
• A 20lb Bottle of Propane will give approx 290h of runtime at full load
