Shipments of new portable fuel cell from Voller commence

The latest version, the VE100 v3 portable fuel cell system, is capable of delivering up to 200 watts at peak power and 100 watts at nominal performance. The unit is completely self contained and importantly does not require an external battery to start the system. The VE100 v3 is quiet and produces AC mains electricity and simultaneously runs 12v DC electrical appliances that are designed to fit into a car lighter socket.



The module weighs just nine kilograms and delivers 230 volts, the equivalent to the power produced from a plug in the wall. The European version produces EU standard 230 volts at 60Hz, US version is also available producing 110 volts at 50Hz. No toxic emissions are produced while the unit is operating, the only output being pure water.



The VE100 v3 will go on sale with several new features. An enhanced software controller has been incorporated with an internal microprocessor that monitors the fuel cell and optimises performance. This data can be viewed directly by a Windows® based computer or linked via the Internet or a wireless data connection. A data port on the side of the system enables remote monitoring and the download of new software. The VE100 v3 now also boasts a new LCD display that shows the quantity of hydrogen remaining in the canister and enables the user to program the fuel cell to be operational in a number of different modes.



Stephen Voller, CEO of Voller Energy Group plc, said: "The VE100 v3 fuel cell is now in its third generation. We believe that the VE100 v3 is the most sophisticated portable fuel cell on the market and look forward to updating shareholders in due course."
