Airporiparking The problem Connecting to the power grid permits, delays, costs The solution The EFOY Pro teamed up with solar cells The benefits • No permits necessary • Cuts installation costs by up to 20,000 EUR ^ 100% availability regardless of season or time of day ^ Satellite controlled • Portable ^ User friendly - a 28-liter fuel cartridge can last up to a year | ||||||||
Mobile rrafficsignals The problem Electricity along the autobahn comes from the nearby cities and towns and it usually is too costly to provide power to temporary construction sites. Traffic signals that rely on battery power alone require fresh batteries every eight hours - at considerable cost. A traffic-signal trailer powered by a tow vehicle requires a continuously running motor The solution EFOY Pro Fuel Cells The benefits Cut costs by 8,890 EUR per month Simpler logistics - instead of towing the trailer in for recharging every 8 hours, all you have to do is replace a single fuel cartridge once a week. You save up to 108 man hours a month User friendly - instead of replacing a 50-kg battery or parking a traiͭler near a busy highway, it takes just seconds to replace a 9-kg fuel cartridge | ||||||||
It used to be nearly impossible to power remote devices reliably around the clock, seven days a week. Batteries died quickly, solar cells were too unreliable in bad weather, and generators were noisy, required high maintenance, and were banned in many places. Those problems are history: the EFOY Pro Series provides a user-friendly solution for industrial applications anywhere, anytime. | ||||||||

(!) Hook it up - switch it on - forget about it The EFOY Pro is the intelligent alternative. Connected directly to the battery powering a device, it recharges it fully automatically whenever necessary. Worry-free remote monitoring provides assurance that the fuel cell is doing its job. The EFOY Pro converts methanol directly into electricity in a single step. What's more, the process requires no moving parts so that generation is highly effiͭcient, quiet and totally maintenance free. (!) Power around the clock, in any weather A fuel cell generates electricity completely independent of its environment. It produces power continuously as long as there is fuel. If necessary, it can work 24 hours a day at temperatures ranging from 20 below to 45 degrees centigrade. O Continuous electricity for weeks on end The EFOY Pro uses liquid methanol, a fuel that has superior energy density. Ten liters of methanol, weighing a mere 8.4 kg, can geneͭrate 11.1 kilowatt hours. The same amount of energy stored in a battery would weigh 279 kg. Ten liters of methanol can power a 10-watt device for six weeks totally maintenance free. | O Maintenance free - easy to use The EFOY Pro remains maintenance free throughout its entire life. Since it can charge standard batteries directly, it easily integrates into existing facilities. Just hook it up to the battery. It performs equally well in hybrid configurations with solar modules. Operation is intuitive, either on site directly, or remotely, by means of a GSM modem. O Like a baby's breath Power generation produces only carbon dioxide and water vapor in an amount comparable to a child's breath. EFOY Fuel Cells thus meet the toughest environmental standards. O Proven safety The EFOY Pro Series and EFOY Fuel Cartridges conform to the highest standards of safety as shown by numerous certifications such as the TUV GS seal on EFOY Fuel Cartridges and the TUV ocͭtagon on EFOY Fuel Cells. Every EFOY product is safe to transport by land, sea, or air. SFC is certified according to DIN ISO 9001:2000. (!) Safe from theft and vandalism The fuel cell and cartridge can be installed in the EFOY ProCube to prevent theft and vandalism. You can even hide the EFOY underground or integrate it into a switch cabinet. | |||||||
Surveillance camera The problem Batteries need to be changed daily in order to assure continuous opeͭration without risking detection The solution The EFOY Pro Series concealed in a car The benefits Long life - with a 10-liter fuel cartridge, a 10-watt camera will transmit images for up to six weeks without a single service visit. Lower costs - until now, you had to replace batteries three to four times per week. Assuming a round trip of 200 kilometers at 40 cents per kilometer, that's already 80 EUR. Add to that 85 EUR per hour multiplied by 2 'V man hours and you have 215 EUR in labor costs for a total of 295 EUR per trip. That's 1,000 EUR per week you could be saving with an EFOY | ||||||||
Floodearly-warningsensors The problem Until now, these devices were unreliable. Solar-powered sensors would quit just as inclement weather heightened the risk of flooding, while sensors connected to the grid were subject to outages during a storm. The solution The EFOY Pro Series in the EFOY ProCube The benefits • 100% reliability even after prolonged inclement weather • Easier logistics - a 28-liter fuel cartridge will power a 10-watt sensor for 4 months | ||||||||
