Greenvolt Power Readies a 200kw Fuel Cell Power Plant for Delivery in July 2001

The 30-ton unit, fuelled by natural gas and air, is designed as a stationary, independent power plant with sufficient power and heat output to supply approximately 20 sizeable homes (3,000 sq. ft. each) with electricity and heat on a daily, year-round basis.

The GVLT/PAFC-200(TM) operates at an overall efficiency of approximately 80%, delivering electricity/heat on a 50/50 basis. Its maximum net continuous electrical power output capability is 200 kW/235kVA at ambient temperatures of -20 to 110 degrees farenheit at up to 500 ft. above sea level. The natural gas can be supplied at normal "house delivery pressure".

The GVLT/PAFC-200(TM) is fully automated, self-contained, and housed for outdoor installation. It runs for approximately 30,000 continuous hours (about 7 to 10 years) before a stack replacement and requires only infrequent checks to ensure reliable operation. Operation is virtually silent and reduces emissions by a factor 1/550 and carbon dioxide emissions are approximately 2.5 times lower than an average fossil fuel power plant.

"If reduced pollution and lower power production costs are our immediate objective," stated Thomas Faul, President and CEO of Greenvolt Power Corp, "The competitively priced and energy efficient GVLT/PAFC-200(TM) is unquestionably the way to go." Faul added that three separate parties have expressed interest in the GVLT/PAFC-200(TM) and a decision will be made in 30 days as to which will be the recipient.
