Why it’s Important to Know the Remaining Life of Your Resin
Ion exchange resins consist of small, microporous beads that are insoluble in water and organic solvents. The most widely used base materials are polystyrene and polyacrylate. The beads remove the ionic charges in the coolant so that they cannot damage the fuel cell. The nuclear-grade resin inside of the PROTECT+ion Omniflow is designed specifically for…
Read MoreAir Filtration in Schools: Our Greatest Defense Against Covid-19
Schools have made many steps to keep their students safe but, as we learn more about the Covid-19 virus, we must change our protocols. Research from Johns Hopkins University describes how daily “deep cleanings” that many schools have implemented are disruptive and not as effective for slowing the spread of Covid -19 as proper ventilation.…
Read MoreBig Things are Happening in the Fuel Cell Market: Are You Ready?
Huge car manufacturers like BMW, Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda are introducing new developments in the fuel cell market. The Toyota Mirai XLE, one of the first hydrogen cars, has a range of 402 miles and 72 miles per 1 kilogram of hydrogen. These features make this model very appealing to consumers, but it is only…

Specific applications consist of transportation, material handling, and emergency backup power applications, according…
Read MoreAir Filtration in Hospitals: Protecting our Most Vulnerable Individuals
Individuals in hospitals have weakened immune systems making them even more vulnerable to particles that we cannot see. Even individuals in waiting rooms or those just coming for a routine checkup should feel protected from airborne illnesses in hospitals. Even when a building appears clean there are particles in the air that can make you…
Read MoreChoosing an Indoor Air Cleaner
ASHRAE recently released guidelines for in-room air cleaners for reducing COVID-19 in the air. In these guidelines they explain the HEPA, UV-C and UV-PCO technologies. HEPA (High efficiency particulate air) filters remove particles, which include particles that contain microorganisms and viruses. U-VC Germicidal air cleaners kill viruses and microorganisms in the air, but do not…

Read MoreLooking Back at 5 Years of i2M
We asked Stu to bring us up to speed on our humble beginnings. Under new direction at MANN+HUMMEL, decentralization of the Research & Development (R&D) department was occurring, and we needed something new. For the first time in MANN+HUMMEL’s history, we were getting into fundamentally new topics for research. A place was needed between R&D…
Read MoreWhy You Should Convert your Material Handling Equipment to Fuel Cell
Fuel cell material handling equipment have a whole toolbox full of benefits over their battery electric counterparts. For starters, the power units operate at a consistent level throughout the shift, whereas battery electric forklifts encounter power sag as their charge is depleted. The refueling infrastructure needed for hydrogen fuel cells uses space more efficiently than…
