The ribbon has been cut and Air Products’ (NYSE: APD) hydrogen and fueling station technology is now onstream and will daily power Sysco Corporation’s (NYSE: SYY) fleet of nearly 100 hydrogen fueled pallet trucks and forklifts operating at Sysco’s new 585,000 square foot food service distribution facility in Houston, Texas.
该设施和氢能材料处理设备今天在Sysco活动中向商业领袖和政府代表展示了。2020欧洲杯下注官网
“我们在世界范围内安装了氢加油站和基础设施。材料处理市场继续表现出对转换为氢能燃料电池设备的兴趣日益增长的兴趣。2020欧洲杯下注官网这是做出的领先决定，应该对Sysco表示赞扬。
This cost-shared hydrogen fuel cell project includes a grant provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act through the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Fuel Cell Technology Program. This facility is Sysco’s first greenfield installation without battery infrastructure for a material handling fleet.
Air Products’ fueling infrastructure at Sysco includes an outdoor liquid hydrogen storage and compression system, along with multiple indoor fueling dispensers for operator refueling. Air Products will fuel the fleet of pallet and reach trucks fitted with Plug Power’s (NASDAQ: PLUG) GenDrive(TM) hydrogen fuel cell power units. The GenDrive systems can be quickly refueled in less than five minutes, completely eliminating the need to change, store, charge and maintain multiple lead acid batteries per lift truck.
使用氢动力叉车和其他材料处理设备有许多优势。2020欧洲杯下注官网氢燃料电池动力设备需要每天或两次加油，具体取决于使用。2020欧洲杯下注官网相比之下，必须将传统电池供电的设备暂时放置，以更换电池，并需要每四到六个小时充电所2020欧洲杯下注官网需的电池。氢燃料燃料电池动力设备在使用过程中提供一致的功率强度，2020欧洲杯下注官网并且不会像传统的铅酸电池单元那样降低性能或磨损，因为它们接近所需的电池更换或充电时间。此外，与传统的电池性能相比，氢燃料电池叉车不会受到温度或在冷却器和冰柜中的运行的不利影响。此外，以氢为动力的燃料电池设备对环境更友好，因为它不涉及铅酸电池的存储和2020欧洲杯下注官网处置问题。
Air Products’ hydrogen fueling technology is currently being used to fuel over 300 material handling vehicles including: fuel cell powered pallet trucks at Wegmans Retail Service Center in Pottsville, Pa.; fuel cell powered lift trucks at Central Grocers’ new distribution center in Joliet, Ill.; hydrogen fuel cell powered forklifts at Nestlé Waters North America in Dallas, Tex.; hydrogen fuel cell powered forklifts at the Defense Distribution Depot Susquehanna Pennsylvania in New Cumberland, Pa.; as well as hydrogen fuel cell-powered forklifts at several other customers in the United States. In addition, mobile fueling equipment unique and patented by Air Products has been and continues to be deployed to a variety of customers for the purpose of demonstrating the technology in real world conditions.
