Results of Source Emissions Testing. UTC Fuel Cell Model PC25C

Abstract

Fuel cells generate electricity through an electrochemical process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to generate direct current (DC) electricity. Fuel cells are an environmentally clean, quite, and a highly efficient method for generating electricity and heat from natural gas and other fuels. The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) has actively participated in the development and application of advanced fuel cell technology since fiscal year 1993 (FY93), and has overseen the purchase, installation, and ongoing monitoring of fuel cells in the "DOD Fuel Cell Demonstration Program." This report documents a source emission study done on fuel cells at Fort Huachuca, in Tempe, AZ. This report describes the testing methods used to measure source emissions from the PC25C system, the conditions during the process, and the test results. Results are tabulated with the manufacturer's emissions ratings.
