Diminishing resources, more severe
environmental impacts and the ever increasing demand for energy force us
to reconsider the structure of our
energy supply system. Automobile
industry and oil companies increasingly
invest in hydrogen technology because
it offers solutions to some of these
concerns. This fascinating technology
combines a sound energy supply with
minimal impact on our natural resources.
Hydrogen is produced and stored in
the Hydrogen Gas Station. The Fuel
Cell Concept Car is fueled with hydrogen, and realistically demonstrates the
technology of future fuel cell vehicles.
The equipment can be used to
demonstrate the operation of PEM
(Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cells
and PEM electrolyzers.
The equipment has been developed for
teaching and demonstration purposes
only .
Any other use is prohibited.
Please read through the Operating
Instructions carefully
beforehand.
h-tec
Hydrogen Energy Systems
wishes you many enjoyable hours with
your Hydrogen Gas Station and Fuel
Cell Concept Car .
Introduction and Intended Use
4
z The system is intended for teaching
and demonstration purposes in
schools, universities, institutions and
companies only .
z
It may only be set up and operated
by a competent person.
z
Read the Operating Instructions
before setting up the system. Follow
them during use and keep them
readily available for reference.
z
Wear protective goggles.
z
The system is not a toy . Operate the
equipment and keep it and the
gases produced out of the reach of
small children.
z
Unless specified otherwise, do not
short-circuit or reverse the polarity of
the terminals.
z
Do not operate the system empty .
Always ensure that it contains
sufficient water (between the MIN/
MAX levels marked).
z
Remove inflammable gases,
vapours and liquids from the vicinity
of fuel cells and electrolyzers. The
catalysts contained in the system
can trigger spontaneous
combustion.
z
Hydrogen and oxygen
may escape from the
system. To prevent the
gases collecting and
forming explosive mixtures only use
the system in well-ventilated rooms.
z
The system may only be operated
in a display case, which is
sufficiently ventilated at all times.
The operator is obliged to prove
this by means of appropriate
measurements.
z
Remove from the vicinity of
the system anything that
could ignite the hydrogen
(naked flame, materials that can
become charged with static
electricity , substances with a
catalytic action).
z
Remove from the vicinity of the
system all substances that could
spontaneously ignite with increased
oxygen concentration.
z
Do not smoke.
z
Hoses, plugs and tanks are
used for pressure compensation.
They must not be fixed or secured
with clamps, adhesive, etc.
z
Only use the gas storage tanks
belonging to or supplied with the
system to store gas. Never connect
other alternatives.
z
Only operate the system at room
temperature and ambient pressure.
z
Do not position any solar modules
and lights in use closer than the
minimum permitted distance (30 cm
between h-tec solar modules and
the h-tec Videolight, and 50 cm

General Safety Precautions
between them and the h-tec Spotlight, or see other manufacturers'
stipulations).
z The surface of solar modules can
get very hot during extended
operation.
z Tell your students about any potenti-
al dangers and carefully supervise
experimentation.
h-tec will not accept any
responsibility for injuries or damage
sustained in the event of these
Safety Precautions not being
followed.

1. Read the General Safety
Precautions.
2 . Connect the taps on the fueling
hoses to the hydrogen storage
tanks.
3 . Fill the storage tank up to the ‘-A-’
mark with deionised water .
4 . Open the fueling taps and allow a
little water to enter the hoses.

5 . Connect the solar module to the
electrolyzer, and irradiate it with
direct sunlight or with the h-tec
Spotlight or Videolight lamps.
6. The h-tec PowerSupply Junior
mains power supply can be used in
place of the solar module.

the switch in the “On“ position.
Although fuel cells and electrolyzers of
the type used do not require any
maintenance, you should:
z Use fresh, deionised water for each
session.
z Wipe the base plate dry to avoid
any water stains.
