Efficient power generation

Sad day today.  Largely I have written off CFU but I still hold a minuscule, tiny amount of hope that something could be done which may favour shareholders.

If only our company was as efficient and could last as long as its BlueGen.

For those who still show some interest, here is more news brought to you by SynQuasi.

Efficient power generation

A micro-cogeneration based on fuel cells procured in Friedberg THM. The unit cost around 35,000 euros and is to be used in teaching at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, material technology.
Fuel cell technology produced in an electrochemical process electricity from natural gas. Compared to other technologies, the energy yield, the so-called "electrical efficiency", with about 60 percent is very high. In addition, they produce heat that is used for heating.

According to Prof. Dr. Hans Minkenberg, head of the Laboratory of Heat and Power Engineering, the installed device in Friedberg the Australian company Ceramic Fuel Cells is the first commercially available in Germany in the commercial high-temperature fuel cell. This technology could continue to play an important role in the domestic energy supply. In Japan, the professors, the market was already well advanced. More than 75,000 units were in operation there. It think it is very important that the students met in engineering education in Friedberg latest techniques, says energy expert.

Procurement and construction of the Scientific Staff Günther Kavelmacher was responsible. Steven Pauly has studied in his thesis, among other performance or economy of small-scale power plant. The high efficiency ensures that the harmful CO 2 emissions about 50 percent below the average of the German electricity generation. For a private household, the cost per kilowatt hour are currently about the same level, which is achieved even with a third reference - but only if state support is claimed.

Pauly, who now works as a research assistant at the THM in Friedberg, has already presented his findings at a conference in casting. Coming soon is the presentation of an international conference in Havana.
