TB - 1000


TROPICAL SA presents its all new TB-1000 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power System (Portable & Rack Version), producing 1200W of nominal electric power using the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology.

The membrane on the fuel cell stack is converting hydrogen into electric power and the only "pollutant" is clean water. This power generator produces high quality electric power 110V or 230V AC & 12V, 24V or 48 DC (other voltages on request).

It is designed to be used as an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS), backup power system, as a stand alone power generator providing electricity to our homes, in grid back up, as solar hybrid with installed PV panels, in telecommunication towers or military applications or remote applications or for educational / demonstration purposes (Universities, Research Institutes, Colleges, R&D Projects, etc). Its main advantages are: modular, quite operation, small size & light weight, produce zero emissions, minimal maintenance, reliable, stable, remote monitoring & quick start operation.

TOUCH SCREEN & MEASUREMENTS


The TB series hydrogen fuel cell power system is being controlled by an intelligent controller which is operated by a 16-colored touch screen monitor.

The management of the system is easily done through the touch screen monitor and although the system is fully automated, the user has the option to change which ever parameter likes followed by a 4-digit password. Moreover, data acquisition of the parameters can be saved on an excel file (SD memory card) and can be changed.
