Power management company Eaton announced a new partnership with Ballard Fuel Cell Systems and the Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to develop heavy-duty truck fuel cells. The prototype will incorporate airflow technology initially designed to improve fuel efficiency.
Said technology is Eaton’s Twin Vortices Series (TVS), made to improve fuel efficiency and which the company claims is capable of providing precise airflow to hydrogen fuel cells.
“Our TVS supercharger technology provides fuel cell manufacturers with a precise amount of controlled air to increase power and efficiency,” said Karl Sievertsen, Eaton Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. “The efficiency of competitive fuel cells is lower because most hydrogen fuel cells use simple fans for…
