DCH Ships 5kW Fuel Cell System to HARC
VALENCIA, Calif., Jan. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- DCH Technology, Inc. (Amex: DCH - news), a manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen sensors and provider of hydrogen safety services, announced that the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) has received a 5 kW DCH Enable(TM) fuel cell shipped on schedule at the end of last year. The fuel cell will be combined with a natural gas reformer, specified by DCH, at HARC facilities. A consortium of leading corporations organized by HARC will then test the system's performance and reliability as a clean and affordable energy source.
``We are especially proud that the fuel cell DCH delivered to HARC is the first that will incorporate a reformer system, which I think underscores our ability to develop and deliver customer-specific products,'' said John Donohue, DCH President and CEO.
HARC is currently involved in a number of demonstration projects that are focusing on promising fuel cell technologies that address the needs of its sponsors. The DCH system is about the size required to meet the average power needs of a residence or carry the critical loads in a small business office. The contract was announced last July. DCH received partial payment at that time, with the balance upon delivery.
HARC's Fuel Cell Research and Applications Center was created in July of 1998 in response to a growing demand for clean power generation products.
