Quantum Delivers Hydrogen Dispensing System to Linde for a Retail Fueling Station in West Sacramento, CA
LAKE FOREST, Calif., Dec 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: QTWW), a global leader in natural gas storage systems, integration and vehicle system technologies, in partnership with Linde North America, announces the first hydrogen dispensing system that measures hydrogen mass with connectivity to retail interface and user friendly payment features. The system was installed in West Sacramento and was unveiled at a grand opening hosted by the California Fuel Cell Partnership, Ramos Oil and Linde.
"For over a decade of development and prototyping, we have achieved the breakthrough of measuring and dispensing hydrogen fuel for commercial use in fuel-cell vehicles," said Brian Olson, CEO of Quantum Technologies. "We are pleased with the results of our agreement with Linde and can expect further joint development efforts to the changing industry and standards," continued Mr. Olson.
In partnership with Linde, Quantum has developed a highly specialized Hydrogen Dispenser system for 35 and 70 MPa service. For the first time, measuring the mass of hydrogen from a dispensing unit was successful and has received conditional approval for commercial service in California by the Department of Measurements and Standards. This is the first public accessible Hydrogen refueling station that has demonstrated SAE compliant fast fill performance with accurate mass flow measurement.
In addition to the development of dispensers, Quantum's flag ship type IV tank, Q-Lite™, takes full advantage of maximizing gas and reducing storage weight not only experienced with CNG but also hydrogen.
