Oorja Protonics new methanol fuel cell
Direct methanol fuel technology developer and manufacturer of cellular Oorja Protonics Company February 19, 2010 announced the launch of a new fuel F4812A HSTNN-lB31 cell methanol OorjaPac model 1 was put into production. Model 1 output power is 4.5 kW for the industry methanol fuel cell, the highest power output, model 1, the operating costs U.S. $ 0.18 / kWh.
OorjaPac target market for the material handling industry, electric forklifts, trucks and guided the use of vehicles.
11 gallons of fuel tank with methanol is available in 28 hours is enough to supply electricity. OorjaPac model 3 carrying 3 liters of fuel tank with methanol. In August 2009, Nissan North America Inc. (Nissan North America, NNA) developed OorjaPacs in its assembly plant in Smyrna, Tenn., applied to 60 tugs. GK479 FK890
Fuel Cell Direct Methanol (DMFC) using liquid methanol instead of hydrogen. Methanol (CH3OH) mixed with water, and directly into the anode of fuel cells, where it is oxidized with a layer of catalyst to produce carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions (H +) and e, e - campaign through an external circuit as the power generation fuel cell, positive ions (H +) through the proton exchange membrane (PEM) sent to the cathode where they react with oxygen, water , water recycling, with contributions from methanol.
In addition, the power company owned SymPowerco launched prototype hybrid electric vehicles polygenic, which is SymPowerco company has recently developed the flow of electrolyte fuel cell Direct methanol (Flowing Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cell, FEDMFC) the prototype project.

In cell mobile electrolyte direct methanol fuel (Flowing Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cell, FEDMFC), the proton exchange membrane (PEM) by the flow of sulfuric acid instead of electrolyte. The EMP is also required in the FEDMFC, it is much cheaper MEP, with a much lower resistance. Such low cost PEM methanol can produce a trend, but the flow of electrolyte so that the removal of methanol, which can improve the performance of fuel cells by about 30%.
Plans to develop hybrid electric vehicles will SymPowerco’s FEDMFC test platform for the future, and a variety of models for the transformation of hybrid power systems. The original scope of expansion and there was the project, including the electric drive system (with multi-fuel internal combustion engines of small displacement) of power. GD761 KD476
