Gensets for Reefer Containers – Types, Importance, and More
Gensets are powered by diesel or alternative fuels to generate electricity for the reefer container''s cooling system. High-efficiency gensets maximize fuel usage while
This chemical energy is stored in the hydrogen that is supplied to the anode of the fuel cell. A hydrogen fuel cell essentially consumes hydrogen and oxygen. When a fuel cell is continuously supplied with hydrogen and oxygen, and the product water is removed, the fuel cell can generate electricity.
Special chemical reactions which occur inside the electrical cell, result in oxidation and reduction of the substances inside the cell. This produces electrical energy. Normal batteries work like this. Some electrical cells produce electricity without using chemical energy.
When a fuel cell is continuously supplied with hydrogen and oxygen, and the product water is removed, the fuel cell can generate electricity. Hydrogen fuel cells and batteries are both electrochemical cells. They each have two electrodes in contact with a material that can conduct ions, called an electrolyte.
Current times voltage equals power. So, by stacking cells in series to build voltage and increasing cell area to boost current, it is possible to generate very large amounts of electrical power‚ enough to supply a block of houses, a hospital, or a vehicle such as a car, bus, even a submarine or space capsule!
