Nuvera Fuel Cells will supply a PowerTap PTH-12 hydrogen refueling system to support fuel cell powered forklifts working indoors at the Raymond Corporation's manufacturing facility in Greene, New York.

Beginning in 2007, the facility will become a "living lab" for hydrogen fuel cell modules powering Raymond forklifts.

"The deployment of PowerTap PTH-12 with indoor dispensing represents a major step forward in the commercialization of hydrogen products for the material handling industry," said Charlie Myers, Global Market Leader for PowerTap at Nuvera.

The PowerTap PTH-12 is a cascade storage, compression and dispensing system, able to provide usable hydrogen either from a third-party gas distributor or from the Nuvera PowerTap hydrogen generation system. The compressor is a hydraulic intensifier that feeds the three-bank cascade storage/dispensing system at a peak operating pressure of 455 bar (6500 psig). The cascade, storage and dispense system provides a consistent fill pressure, up to 350 bar (5000 psi), with the average fill time for an industrial forklift taking under five minutes.
