Novel Volumetric and Gravimetric Oxygen Sources and Packaging Suitable for Unmanned Applications Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Topic No.: N101-081 Topic Title: Novel Volumetric and Gravimetric Oxygen Sources and Packaging Suitable for Unmanned Applications Proposal No.: N101-081-0218 Firm: Trulite Inc 4990 Hillsdale Circle Suite 100 El Dorado Hills, California 95762 Contact: John Patton Phone: (916) 933-5483 Web Site: www.trulitetech.com Abstract: Trulite is proposing a high energy density oxygen generation system that allows for scalable oxygen production, long oxidizer storage life, and dynamic load management. Novel approaches will be taken to develop an oxygen generation methodology based on solid anhydrous perchlorate materials that can be stored at ambient pressures and handled safely. The sub-system can be easily integrated into a fuel cell power system to provide a complete power generation system for UUV's at system energy densities approaching 650 W-Hr/kg and 700 W-Hr/L. When the oxygen generation system is paired with Trulite's hydrogen production technology, the waste water produced from the fuel cell can be 100% internally recycled and used for hydrogen, and likely oxygen, generation. Benefits: System could be utilized as the oxygen component of an air independent fuel cell power system. This power system would have high energy density greater than 650 W-Hr/kg, provide safer storage of oxidizer and provide for flexible start, stop, and restart capability. This product could also be used for underwater exploration and hazardous environment deployments. Return
