General information
- Short Summary
- A French company is a fast-growing business focusing on the development and sale of generator sets powered by decarbonated H2 FC. In order to produce 5kW gensets, a long-term outsourcing agreement is sought with a European subcontractor, e.g an assembly workshop offering contract manufacturing services and specialised in electromechanical equipment (household appliances, generators, heat pumps, air conditioning, ventilation). The partner's expertise in H2 storage and use would be a plus.
- Full Description
-
The French company developed and tested a 5kW genset powered by renewable hydrogen and is willing to find an industrial subcontractor partner to assemble it.
The company will supply the parts to the partner who will produce the electromechanical assembly::
-a frame on which the fuel cell and other components will be mounted,
-stainless steel tubes + specific fittings for hydrogen,
-flexible plastic tubing for air or hydrogen gas + electronic valves,
-electrical components to be installed inside a cabinet and then wired together and to the other parts of the product.
Some commissioning tests should ideally be carried out by the subcontractor. A test bench will be provided by the French company. The partner wishing to carry out the tests must know or be trained in the storage and use of hydrogen (see H2 storage and ATEX issues).
A long-term subcontracting agreement is being sought with a European partner offering industrial contract manufacturing services in the field of electromechanical devices. - Sustainable Development Goals
