PureCell Model 5 System

Efficiency

The PureCell Model 5 system was designed as a highly efficient onsite power solution. It offers up to 90% system efficiency and runs on standard pipeline natural gas. Ultra clean and quiet, the PureCell Model 5 requires less fuel to generate an equivalent amount of energy as that from a traditional power plant. This kind of reduction in fuel usage exceeds the reductions required by some of the most stringent emissions legislation in the United States, like the California’s Global Warming Solutions Act (AB32). These policies call for, and ClearEdge Power delivers, an excellent climate change mitigation strategy for any business that requires a change to meet political, public or their internal efficiency objectives.

Reliability

Unlike the intermittent nature of solar panels, the PureCell Model 5 system operates steadily, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Because it operates around the clock and is not affected by weather or time or day, the Model 5 is a strong fit for customers with smaller baseload power requirements. To ensure your peace of mind, the system is remotely monitored for functionality, ensuring your business has reliable power when you need it most.

Applications

The highly efficient PureCell Model 5 system generates 5 kW of assured electrical power, plus 20 MBtu/hr heat output/hour of heat, for combined heat and power (CHP) applications.

Typical market sectors include data centers, restaurants, retail outlets, hotels, fitness centers, multi-family residential buildings, supermarkets and other facilities with continuous baseload power and thermal energy requirements. 

Additionally, the Model 5 offers customers energy density and location flexibility. It can be installed outdoors or indoors, from basements to rooftops and requires a fraction of the area and volume required by equivalent solar/wind systems.

LEED

LEED Rating Systems

As proud members of the US Green Building Council, ClearEdge Power fully supports the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating systems and strongly believes in the use of fuel cells in both residential and non‐residential projects to enhance the performance of a building’s energy efficiency. The use of fuel cells can be submitted as part of a Credit Interpretation Request (CIR). Through this request, a specific building program is submitted for approvals to the USGBC for rating points already found within the rating system.

In addition, fuel cells can also be part of an Innovation & Design Process Request (IDR). Though similar to a CIR, the IDR request is for a different unique attribute not yet found within the existing rating system. As expected, these submissions are project specific.

So whether the project is in the planning stages and no walls exist, or if the focus is a retro-upgrade for an existing non‐residential buildings focused on certification under LEED for Existing Building Operation & Maintenance (LEED‐EBOM) fuel cells can be an active part of the solution. Please contact us early in the process so that we can work with you and your team to best assess your needs and assist in the application process.
