AB  -            Recommending Hydrogen Fuel Cell Retrofits for Forklifts in             Energy Audit Reports by Industrial Assessment CentersAbstractIndustrial Assessment Centers (IAC) are sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and arelocated in 24 universities throughout the country. They provide small and medium sizedmanufacturers no cost energy assessments performed by university graduate students. This is awin-win situation; the manufacturing plants receive a report detailing ways to save energy whilethe student receives valuable, hands-on training in energy efficiency. The IAC located at theuniversity performs twenty audits per year and incorporates renewable energy recommendationswhenever possible. As companies implement the recommendations made by the IAC, there is acontinuous need to find new opportunities for energy savings. The inspiration for the hydrogenfuel cell retrofit recommendation came while touring Ballard, a hydrogen fuel cell manufacturer,during the 2011 ASEE Conference in Vancouver, Canada. The tour was arranged and sponsoredby the Energy Conversion and Conservation division.To date, several recommendations have been written for manufacturers of various sizes. Thispaper will present an analysis and compilation of energy savings, cost savings andimplementation costs associated with making a hydrogen fuel cell recommendation. Writing therecommendation is also an excellent learning opportunity for the student who matriculates in theMechanical Engineering department. Writing a recommendation of this type challenges thestudent to learn about the chemical reaction associated with hydrogen fuel cells, the processesassociated with the production of hydrogen gas, and the equations necessary to calculate theelectrical usage associated with charging stations. Thus, the paper will also contain students’perceptions of how helpful this process is for learning new concepts.
