BMW Doubles H2 Forklifts at Spartanburg Plant
宝马加倍在斯帕坦堡分公司生产氢气叉车
BMW Manufacturing’s plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, has more than doubled its fleet of hydrogen-powered material handling equipment, using systems supplied by Linde North America. The 4.0 million square foot production facility now powers its entire hydrogen-fuel cell fleet of more than 230 units to service the plant’s production and logistics functions, making it one of the largest fuel cell forklift sites in the world.
宝马制造商在南加州的斯帕坦堡近日加倍生产他们的氢气系列能源物料搬运设备，使用的是由林德北美公司提供的系统。四百万平方英尺的生产基地可以生产氢气能源燃料电池叉车约230台套，以满足市场需求以及物流设备的增长要求，已经成为世界最大的燃料电池叉车生产基地之一。
“BMW’s ongoing commitment to clean production is evident in our recent expansion of our hydrogen fuel cell program,” said Duncan Seaman, BMW Group, Head of Market Operations, Americas.
Duncan Seeman,宝马的美洲市场运营总监说到：“宝马承诺持续发展清洁能源已经体现在最近氢气燃料电池项目的扩大上。”
In 2010, Linde supplied a hydrogen fueling system with six indoor dispenser stations to support more than 100 pieces of material handling equipment operating inside BMW’s plant. The 2013 expansion more than doubled their fleet by adding two new higher-throughput compressors, new storage tubes and distribution piping, and eight new hydrogen dispensers. To date, there have been over 200,000 successful hydrogen fuelings at the site.
在2010年，林德为宝马公司的内部厂房提供了一套具有六个加气枪的氢气燃料加气站来支持超过100台叉车加气。在2013年又扩大加倍了设备数量，使其具有两个高流量压缩机，新的储气罐和加气支路，以及八个新的氢气加气枪。到目前为止，已经有超过200,000台次的氢气设备加过气。
BMW lists the benefits:
refueling these fork lift trucks with hydrogen using Linde’s equipment takes an operator less than three minutes, compared with 15-20 minutes to change out a battery;
fuel cells do not degrade over time, as do lead-acid batteries when they begin losing their charge toward the end of a shift;
total electricity demand is reduced since no battery recharging is required; and
cost of environmental disposal costs for lead acid battery is eliminated.
宝马公司列出了氢气能源叉车的优点：
使用这套林德提供的氢气燃料系统，只要用不到三分钟即可更新燃料，相比较换电池则需要15-20分钟。
燃料电池不会随时间衰减，而电动叉车电池则会逐渐失去电量直到报废
电气设计精简，而且也不需要电池管理系统
对于铅酸电池来说，燃料电池也可以减少对环境的损害。
