The Jadoo Power / Acumentrics Advantage
Jadoo Power is combining strengths with partner Acumentrics bringing our PEM fuel
cell architecture, balance of plant technologies and fuel advancements together
with their SOFC expertise to create a new generation of commercialized capabilities
delivering more power and more possibilities to new markets.
Jadoo Power has its roots in PEM fuel cell architecture typically delivering to
portable and mobile applications.
The PEM or polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (see right diagram) is one in
a family of five types of fuel cells (three of which are mostly suited to large
applications such as an electric utility plant). PEM fuel cells have several advantages.
They operate at near ambient temperatures and have very high power densities, which
makes them relatively compact, and they work at high efficiencies producing 40-50%
of the maximum voltage and can vary their output quickly to meet demand shifts.
Acumentrics delivers Solid Oxide Fuel Cell architecture in stand-alone and backup
power applications.
The SOFC or Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (see right diagram) operates at 800°C. SOFCs offer their
own advantages. They can operate on a wide variety of fuels with minimum processing,
have greater electrical efficiencies, and have a longer life than PEM cells—16,000
hours without power output degradation.
Each type is more suitable for certain applications (although many applications
overlap) but a big advantage of SOFC is its ability to operate on many types of
fuels. Fuels are the key.
