EcoPower TM Cabinet
The CommScope ® EcoPower Cabinet provides an eco-friendly DC backup power
solution for Wireline and Wireless networks. Our patent pending cabinet design is
modular and flexible to meet your most stringent backup power needs. The cabinet
utilizes proton exchange membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells to provide industry
leading power density, reliability, and remote monitoring. Housed in a secure,
weather resistant cabinet for outdoor deployment, the EcoPower fuel cell power
solution is feature rich and has ease of installation and maintenance.
Product Description
The EcoPower cabinet has been designed to generate
up to 16 kW DC output with two Hydrogenics 8 kW
fuel cells (HyPM XR 8). It can be configured with one
8 kW fuel cell unit in the factory and the second 8 kW
unit could be added in the field. The balance of the
plant and associated equipment is also modular so
the initial cost is minimized and you pay-as-you-grow.
Regardless of power output, the cabinet is cooled
without the use of outside air in a sealed compartment to keep out dust, contaminants and condensation, thereby preventing deterioration of the equipment.
Our patent pending cabinet cooling and heating
system assures that the PEM fuel cell delivers
optimum power output at ambient temperatures that
can range from –40° C to +46° C. The Hydrogenics
HyPM XR 8 fuel cells have industry leading efficiency
of 55 percent with no limitation on start or stop
cycles. They have a fast response time of providing
full power in less than one minute. A small battery
string or ultra capacitors are used for bridging power.
With a reliability of 99.999 percent, you can be
assured that your network equipment has uninterrupted power during utility power failures.
There is no static degradation or scheduled maintenance requirements for the HyPM XR 8 fuel cells as
compared to batteries and diesel generators, resulting in lower operational costs and total cost of
ownership. The EcoPower cabinet solution requires
less space compared to batteries and diesel generators; the relieved space can be used for revenue
generating telecom equipment.
To help ensure the security of the EcoPower cabinet,
each unit is factory equipped with alarm cabling that
sends a signal from the remote site to a central
location if an attempted unauthorized cabinet entry
occurs. The doors are equipped
