High temperature fuel cells (>390°F or 200°C) are advantageous for CHP applications.
However, low temperature fuel cells (<210°F or 100°C), such as PEMFCs, are advantageous
for backup power applications because of their quick start up time and high power density [37,
p. 3]. American Power Conversion (APC) manufactures a PEMFC for server backup power,
namely the InfraStruXure
TM
with Integrated Fuel Cells system. They are installed in the server
rack, as shown in Figure 3-5, and are available in 10kW modules. Up to three of APC’s fuel cell
modules can be installed in one rack, reaching a total of 30kW of power generated [36, p. 1].
