I should know better than to state something without checking facts! The
80% figure was one I remembered from "somewhere", but it turns out that you were
right to question my number. Here's the link I remembered:
http://www.ballard.com/tD.asp?pgid=76&dbid=0
The 81% claim is WITH heat recovery--the part I didn't remember. Sorry for
not getting my facts straight, everyone! (And thanks, Malcom, for pointing this
out!)
Most of the other PEM fuel cell companies are much more conservative in
their ratings than Ballard. For instance:
http://www.fuelcellstore.com/cgi-bin/fuelweb/view=item/cat=23/subcat=26/product=180
http://www.avistalabs.com/prod_i100.asp
The latter is a PDF file. When you download it, you'll learn that Avista is
claiming only 36 - 40 % at full load.
