The future is now.

Power. Everyone needs it, but the world needs better solutions. Acumentrics tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) generators provide electricity with efficiency. Our solid-state design generates electricity electrochemically, so there are no losses to mechanical motion. Sulfur and nitrous oxides are removed in the process. CO2 emissions are much lower than traditional generators, even when natural gas is used for fuel. Our fuel-flexible SOFC fuel cells can run directly from natural gas or propane, and are 25% more efficient than proton exchange membrane (PEM) cells.

Fuel cells have some surprising advantages. They are silent, and can be sited anywhere. Unlike batteries, our tubular fuel cells are durable in temperature extremes. Since our ceramic fuel cells run hot, they can co-generate heating or cooling. These combined heat and power devices can reach efficiencies of 90%. There are many benefits to fuel cell powered distributed generation. We invite you to learn more about our Acumentrics 5000 Power Supply and our AHEAD Home Energy Alternative Device.

All of our fuel cell products leverage our 12 years of experience in ruggedized inverters and uninterruptible power supplies. Our expertise in power electronics and load following also make our generators good companions to solar cells and wind turbines. Our fuel cells can provide critical backup, and solar/wind power can be used to generate clean hydrogen.

At Acumentrics we care about advancing technology. That is why we also offer researchers and teachers an easy way to investigate fuel cells. Our AcuTestR Test Stand offers five tubes in parallel so researchers can quickly test different fuels and loads. It also comes with standard connections and a Windows compatible GUI.
