Since
2001 the pilot model «HXS 1000 premiere» has been
installed in approximately 110 houses. Over 1.5 million hours
of operation have been accumulated under real conditions
since the test start. At the Hannover fair 2005 Hexis presented
the successor, the fuel cell heater «Galileo 1000 N».
This system
 |
 |
replaces
the gas boiler of a single-family home and, in addition,
produces electrical power, |
 |
 |
|
works efficiently, with
low emissions and virtually silently, |
 |
 |
|
utilizes the waste heat
of the fuel cell to heat rooms and potable water, |
 |
 |
|
is compact and light
because functions and components have been combined and
simplified, |
 |
 |
|
is easy to service and
suitable for series production because standard components
of the heating industry are employed, and |
 |
 |
|
combines high-tech with
user friendliness. |
«Galileo 1000 N» is still under development. The works
focus on the improvement of the fuel cell stack. |
