From October 13th to 15th, 2023, Faraway’s first 5KW methanol reforming hydrogen fuel cell off-road trailer recreational vehicle made its debut at the 18th Shanghai International Recreational Vehicle and Camping Exhibition.
T64 adopts a methanol reforming hydrogen fuel cell system. It can carry 30L of methanol aqueous solution at a time and can easily obtain a continuous power supply capacity of more than 30kwh. The fuel can be replenished at any time when it runs out, and the power generation process is continuous and uninterrupted. At the same time, the heat and water generated during the power generation process can be recycled for daily use. The system has low operating cost, low noise, is resistant to cold and high altitudes, is lightweight and maintenance-free. Coupled with Faraway T6 off-road “unique secrets”, it is even more powerful and innovative. The methanol reforming hydrogen fuel cell system, as an efficient and clean hydrogen energy technology, has attracted widespread attention.
In recent years, with the rapid development of diversified travel scenarios such as residential travel, off-road, and outdoor camping, China’s recreational vehicle industry has undergone a comprehensive upgrade. Issues such as self-generation and self-use of electricity in recreational vehicles, improving power supply reliability, managing and allocating capacity, and reducing electricity costs urgently need to be solved. Hydrogen energy recreational vehicles, as a zero-emission power generation solution, have received increasing attention. However, there are application bottlenecks in the production, storage, transportation, and refueling of hydrogen. How to reduce costs and improve the reliability of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles has become a problem in the industry.
The methanol reforming hydrogen fuel cell system is an efficient and clean hydrogen energy technology: The system integrates key technologies of methanol reforming for hydrogen production and high-temperature fuel cells, reforms hydrogen from methanol aqueous solution. During the process, hydrogen is “produced and used immediately” to generate electricity for the power stack, which is efficient, silent, reliable and environmentally friendly. At the same time, China is the world’s largest producer of methanol, the raw materials are easily available, and the operating cost is low.
Advantages of Recreational Vehicles with Methanol Reforming Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Continuous supply guarantee of 30 kWh of electricity. The 5KW methanol reforming hydrogen fuel cell can easily meet the power demands of high-power appliances such as on-board air conditioners, electric ovens, and electric water heaters. By carrying 30L of methanol aqueous solution at a time, a continuous power supply capacity of more than 30kwh can be easily obtained. The fuel can be replenished at any time when it runs out, and the power generation process is continuous and uninterrupted.
It can reverse charge new energy vehicles for emergency, providing more energy guarantee for travel. Automatically adjust the power generation according to the changes in the electrical load and the battery capacity. When connected to the external power supply, the external power supply is given priority to supply the load and charge the lithium battery. The fuel cell automatically stands by and wakes up automatically when in use.
The heat and water generated during the power generation process can be recycled for daily use. Waste heat recovery can meet the supply of heating and hot water. Recovery of reaction water can meet daily needs.
Low operating cost, low noise, resistance to cold and high altitudes, lightweight and maintenance-free. Applicability at high altitudes allows smooth travel in Tibetan plateau settlements. Methanol is cheap, and the usage cost is 60% lower than that of gasoline. The system is lightweight to meet more living loads. The system is shock-resistant and maintenance-free, suitable for complex off-road road conditions. Low operating noise allows you to enjoy a quiet outdoor life.
