Data centres are infamous for gobbling up plenty of power, so IT consultancy Comtec Enterprises is using hydrogen fuel cells - developed by APC - as a back-up power supply for its data centres.
The fuel cell converts the chemical energy produced by mixing hydrogen and oxygen from the air to churn out the electrical energy needed to power the servers with three 10kW cells.
The fuel cells are supplied with hydrogen from stored and pressurised bottles via the pictured tubes. These pipes also extract water produced by the cells.
