Abstract:

This Phase 1 effort demonstrated the use of hydrogen-gas fuel for use in food service applications. Energy efficiencies of 40-50 percent were achieved with Mainstream Engineerings hydrogen burner, with usable energy supply rates of 15,000 BTUhr, fulfilling the requirements of the U.S. Army. It was demonstrated that hydrogen-fuel could be used for food service using compressed cylinders of hydrogen or by using metal-hydride derived hydrogen.
