Baxi are at the forefront of fuel cell development for micro CHP applications. PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrance Fuel Cell) technology is particularly suited to micro CHP applications as it operates at relatively low temperatures (80oC to 100oC) and as such it has rapid start up times.Equipped with a supplementary heat storage device and an integrated auxilliary boiler, the BETA 1.5 PLUS can provide virtually all the energy needed in the home, round the clock, as and when it is required: that's up to 75 per cent of the electricity and 100 percent of th heating requirement - all year round.
The fuel cell unit is currently on extensive field trials within the European Union.
Key features and benefits:
- With the PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cell, modulating operation is possible, as and when it is required
- Short start-up times guarantee a long operation period
- High efficiency when operating at partial capacities
- One flue system only for both the fuel cell and the auxiliary boiler
- Straightforward installation procedure - as connections are identical to those of exisiting heating technology
