Hydrogen fuel cell Heat pump co-generation home heating concept test.mpg

This is the second co-generation home heating system using a 2000 watt Horizon hydrogen fuel cell combined with a Tili air to air heat pump. A modified Kipoint 1800 watt inverter converts the fuel cell output power to operate the heat pump. The combined heat generation from both systems gives a greater heat output possibly greater than 200 % of that of an electrical base board heating system. The energy comes from clean renewable hydrogen producing heat, electricity and pure water. All parts are readily available and the system is easy to put together using simple tools.
In the next stage, we will be producing the hydrogen for the system using green power source from a Palcan hydrogen fuel cell electrolyser to generate and store the hydrogen in metal hydrate storage tanks.

First this is a prototype and it gets costly. A new Tili heat pump/ air conditioning unit of the size I used, new model, MSV1-09HRFN1-MTOW has a list price of $2,671. The H2000 fuel cell system cost $8,000. The pure sine wave inverter 1700 watt 230 or 115 VAC about $800 and finaly the batteries used about $100. Other bits and pieces about $300. I do have a source of used 2 kw through wall heat pumps for $300/ea. The hydrogen cost about $50 for 19,000 liters. Total to much, but it works great.

Maybe it's a stupid question but if it's a H2000 with 2kw power, and efficiency is 40% at producing electricity, does it means that you get 0.8kw electricity and 1,2kw as heat? Or heat is not included at 2kw?

One more question. Would be this system sufficient to heat up a 70m2 flat, at winter days? (Outdoor temperature around -10*C to 20, isolated walls)

I'm very interested in fuel cell systems and in producing hydrogen with renewables.

How much are these things?
