PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC), a company that transforms proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions, announced today that it has entered into a distribution agreement for its laser based HS-1000 VIASENSOR relative humidity instrument with Hephas Energy Co., Ltd of Hisnchu City, Taiwan (R.O.C.). Hephas Energy has also purchased its initial instruments.
Hephas Energy Co., Ltd. is a distributor of high technology products including fuel cell related products to both companies and universities in Taiwan. The performance of hydrogen fuel cells using a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) depends on the moisture level of the membrane. The membrane only conducts protons when it is hydrated or moist. The moisture is provided by water vapor in the incoming air or hydrogen stream. The VIASPACE HS-1000 instrument provides real-time measurements of the amount of water vapor in these gas streams.
VIASPACE CEO Carl Kukkonen stated, "Hephas Energy Co. is a well-known company in Taiwan, and we are proud to have them as one of our global distributors of VIASPACE Energy products. Our early shipments of the VIASENSOR to this distribution partner should speed up their efforts to help other companies optimize fuel cell designs, as well as to provide a quality measurement of projected performance of units on the production line."
