The AEDC
Fuel Cell
The fuel cells are designed to deliver uninterrupted power for up to 240
hrs. The typical output is 12 Volt DC, 4000 Watt hours with a maximum
energy draw of 5 Amps. A short term draw of 2.5 amps is continuous.
|
 |
|
|
Fuel cells are ideal for non grid electrification in rural areas and
outdoor use for camping and providing basic energy for a variety of
applications. The replacement of the anodes is done manually in the field, does not require special tools and can be done within 15 minutes. The
fuel cells are environmentally friendly and do not produce waste or toxic
components.
|
|
The fuel cell set is contained in a carry case with plug outlet for
the ready box which regulates the current and incorporates various
functions, such as cell phone charger, auxiliary power outlet, Volt
meter, light and the on and off switch.
The fuel cells can power any appliances that require a 12 Volt DC
power supply and do not consume more than 35 Watt of energy. In the
event of more Watt output being required, additional sets may be coupled
in parallel. This will increase the existing output to the required
wattage. For example, the fridge we supply requires 60 Watt, 12 Volt
DC and therefore will require 2 sets of 12 Volt fuel cells coupled
in parallel.

-
Various high efficient 12 Volt DC
lights for indoor and outdoor use.
-
Ready box, that includes a volt meter, cell phone charger, auxiliary
power outlet plug (12 Volt DC), a light with separate on / off switch
and a main switch.

-
2 types of B/W TV sets: 12 cm screen size with integrated radio, 37 cm
screen size, no radio.
-
A TV amplifier to increase reception in rural areas with weak signal.
-
A colour TV with DVD player is available. This unit has a flat 10” LCD
screen is fully portable and can also play audio CD disks.
-
A fridge with 24 litre capacity reducing ambient temperature by 20 to
25°C.
|
 |
-
A deep freeze which operates at minus 20 degrees Celsius.
-
A flat screen LCD
monitor with computer and P.C. operation. 1 set of fuel cells required
to operate the P.C. and screen for approximately 80 hrs before
replacement of anodes is required.
-
A sewing
machine that operates for about 100hrs before an anode replacement has
to be made. The sewing machine operates on 220Volt A/C and has
different stitch settings, foot pedal control and a light (2 sets
of fuel cells required).
-
An anti Malaria
vaporizer unit, which is built-in in a special ready box. This unit
operates the heating unit of the vaporizer for a period of 35 days
and is totally automatic. The user has peace of mind for
protection especially during the night.

-
Hair cutters that
operate with an inverter (220 V A/C).
-
Glue heat guns that
operate with an inverter (220 V A/C).
-
12 Volt DC
soldering iron (30 Watt).
-
Various inverters
with different power outputs changing 12 Volt DC to 220 Volt A/C.
-
A 12 Volt DC
battery charger to charge led acid batteries with a current supply of 3
to 4 Amps per hour.

FUEL CELLS CANNOT:
top of page
-
The fuel
cells cannot operate any 220V A/C appliance without an inverter.
-
The fuel
cells are not suitable for cooking (alternative solution available
in the form of ethanol gel), heating (alternative solution available
in the form of ethanol gel) or any other appliance that requires a
high current.
-
The ideal
operating conditions for our fuel cell sets in parallel
configuration should not exceed a draw of more then 250 Watts (8
fuel cell sets of 12 Volt DC delivering through an inverter: 250
Watt, 220 Volt AC, peak short time 300 Watt).
|
|
Thermal
solution:
The company supplies an ethanol based
gel manufactured from sugar cane waste. This gel is safe, has no
toxic fumes and a similar heat value then paraffin.
It is ideal
for cooking and heating.
