In this phase, Danfoss successfully demonstrated miniaturized pump and valve components suitable for the conditions of operation of Neah’s forthcoming fuel cell systems, and also a cartridge disconnect system allowing fuel cartridges to be conveniently attached to and detached from the fuel cell power unit. This development advances the company significantly towards its goal of commercializing its fuel cell technology.

“We are very happy with the ingenuity and engineering skill that Danfoss have brought to this program and believe it will lead to considerable competitive advantages as our technology is introduced to the marketplace,” stated John Drewery, Ph.D., executive VP of engineering at Neah Power.
