MF-UTH Series

MF-UTH series is the first 10 KVA Fuel Cell Back-UP Power System to be launched. Equipped with uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) functions, MF-UTH series is the ideal product for sites requiring high quality electricity supply and power stability. It is ideal for users to conquer unpredictable power black-outs which can cause severe damages to expensive equipment and potentially put people at risk.

MF-UTH Series not only provides the power security, but also helps reduce the carbon footprint incurred by conventional energy solutions. MF-UTH Series Fuel Cell System gives higher energy efficiency, up to 40%, and produces zero carbon-dioxide emission when operating with pure hydrogen, or up to 40% Green House Gas reduction if fed with natural gas. With so many natural born advantages of Fuel Cell, our products can be installed in more compact spaces than batteries require. MF-UTH can be safely installed indoors without being concerned about smoke, vibration, heat and noise, characteristics often associated with diesel generators.

With modular designs, the system's functions can be easily expanded or modified for individual customer requirements. And for Telecom Operators and Communication Service Providers, the uninterruptible power supply, SMR, power conversion equipment, and other essential electronic devices are internally integrated making the MF-UTH system extraordinarily easy to install and to operate.

Portable Fuel Cell Power Generators

Power Ranging from 300W to 3kW, stabilized 12 to 48V/DC & battery charger 12 to 48V/DC

ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY & NOISELESS GENERATORS

TROPICAL S.A. presents its all new TB Series hydrogen fuel cell power systems, with nominal electric power ranging from 300W to 3kW 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. These power generators produce stabilized 12V, 24V or 48V DC (using a high quality dc/dc converter) or 12V, 24V or 48V DC as battery charger s and moreover, an inverter can be used to produce 110V or 230V AC. Mostly designed to be used as battery charger, Uninterruptable Power System (UPS), back-up power system, stand alone power generator providing electricity to our homes, solar hybrid solution, several military applications and for remote applications. Its main advantages are: quite in operation, small in size & light weight, produces zero-emissions, minimal maintenance, reliable, stable & quick start operation.

USER FRIENDLY INTERFACE FOR EASY OPERATION & DATA ACQUISITION

All TB - Series hydrogen fuel cell power systems are being controlled by an intelligent controller which is operated by a 16-colored touch screen monitor. The management of these systems is easily done through the touch screen monitor and is fully automated. Moreover, data acquisition of the parameters can be saved on an excel file (using a SD memory card or your memory stick directly).

HOGEN H Series Hydrogen Generation System

The HOGEN® H Series hydrogen generation system is a fully integrated, packaged electrolysis system that produces medium pressure (15 barg (218 PSIG) / 30 barg option (435 PSIG)) high purity hydrogen from water and electricity. The system includes up to three electrolyzer cell stacks, as well as the support and safety systems necessary for regulating electrolyzing operations. The unit contains all of the required sensors and controls to aid in monitoring the safety, performance and automatic operation of the system. The unit is designed to operate in a well-ventilated, non-hazardous (non-classified) indoor or outdoor application.
