How does the ClearEdge5 work?

The system consists of three core technology components brought together to offer greater efficiency. The Fuel Processor reforms natural gas into ultra-clean hydrogen through a catalytic process. Then through an electro-chemical reaction the ClearEdge5 creates electricity as opposed to burning the natural gas as in traditional power plant production processes. The ClearEdge5 dramatically reduces criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases like CO2. Once the hydrogen is processed through a Fuel Cell Stack, it creates direct current (DC) power and heat. The Power Conditioning Unit converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which ties directly to a facility’s main electrical panel, providing locally produced, steady continuous power for your electricity needs. The heat produced by the fuel cell is transferred to the building through the use of a hydronic system or a heat exchanger, supplying a continuous source of heating for domestic hot water as well as space or radiant heating.
