Voller Energy
Group PLC, the leading developer of fuel cell systems, is pleased to announce
that TUV SUD has certified the Voller fuel cell auxiliary power unit ("APU").
Voller's APU is a 1kW class system operating from standard propane, liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG) or Calor Gas. The system is designed for sailing yachts,
recreational vehicles RV's, motor-homes and construction site welfare cabins.
Fuel-cell technology offers key
advantages over conventional generators in many fields of application where
self-contained power supply is indispensable. Fuel cells run more quietly,
cause less vibration, consume less fuel, emit fewer pollutants and need
to be serviced less often.
Stephen Voller, CEO of Voller Energy
commented: "We are delighted that Voller's APU is the first fuel cell in
the world to receive the TUV SUD certificate, which confirms that our system
is safe". The advantages of fuel cell technology mean that we see
virtually unlimited applications for our auxiliary power units, from the
maritime sector or recreational vehicles such as caravans and mobile homes
to construction site cabins.
Tom Elliger, TUV SUD Industrie Service
GmbH said, "This combination of a fuel cell running on LPG and its application
on board a sailing cruiser must be a first worldwide."
