Acumentrics’ 5000 Electric Power Generator: Power for a New Era

Providing On-site Electricity for Distributed Applications

Today, there is a new solution for on-site power: the Acumentrics 5000 (click link for specification sheet) Power System. Our proprietary fuel-flexible, high temperature, tubular, solid oxide fuel cell technology produces electricity at twice the efficiency of traditional generators. This revolutionary power system contains an array of solid-state tubes, for elegant yet robust power. It produces 5kW of power electrochemically, by the migration of oxygen ions through a semi-permeable ceramic structure, instead of through compression/ combustion.

Acumentrics’ 5000 Power System operates directly from natural gas, propane, biofuels, LPG or hydrogen. No external fuel reformer is required. No boost compressor is required. Its clean electrical output leverages our 12 years of experience with power conditioning and inversion. The system can also be combined with solar or wind for hybrid power.

Today, few efficient methods exist for distributed power generation at 5 kW. Solar and wind are not always an option. Cell towers, remote installations, and mobile facilities are forced to use noisy, inefficient diesel generators. We invite you to try our solution.

Applications: primary power, distributed generation, electrical power backup, peak-shaving, grid augmentation, amplifiers, regenerators and congestion relief.

All of Our Fuel Cell Products are Manufactured in our Westwood, Massachusetts facility

FEATURES:

  • Efficient: Peak efficiencies between 40-50%; up to 90% with waste heat recovery.
  • Silent: Whisper quiet electrochemical process generates continuous electricity.
  • Internal scrubbing: Negligible NOx and SOx output; reduced CO2 output.
  • Solid State: Ceramic fuel cell tubes.
  • Fuel-flexible: Compatible with natural gas, propane, biofuels, LPG, H2
  • Site flexible: Small scale package is easy to site.
  • Grid-tie option: Allows connection to utility grid for peak shaving and net-metering.
  • Easy operation: Rapid start and stop. Fuels can be stored onsite or delivered at residential line pressures. No external or internal pressure boosting required.
  • Communications ready: Monitor and control using built-in Ethernet port.

BENEFITS:

  • Reduces outage costs
  • Dependable supply
  • Silent: site anywhere
  • Environmentally clean
  • Conserves fuel
  • Long Life: solid state
  • Low Maintenance: no moving parts


Acumentrics is an industry leader in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). We are one of only six fuel cell companies chosen for US Department of Energy’s Solid-State Energy Conversion Alliance (SECA).

We have shipped over 30 fuel cell power generators to the field.

These proven power systems can also be combined with rugged Acumentrics’ uninterruptible power supply technology for silent, seamless, extended-run, power back-up.
