See MIME. fuel cell component manufacturer. The systems supplied under this multi-year contract will expand the customer's test capabilities and be used in the development of components used in the manufacture of PEM fuel cells. The MEDUSA RD system is a next-generation fuel cell test station that provides automatic testing of fuel cells in power ranges up to 1000 watts. The test station provides water, fuel, and thermal management, as well as software and an electronic load designed specifically for fuel cell testing. The system control and safety features permit unattended 24/7 operation to allow customers to concentrate more on their fuel cell research and development rather than on their test hardware. "We are pleased that leading researchers continue to choose the Teledyne Energy Systems fuel cell test systems for their research, development, and qualification activities," said Robert Mehrabian, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Teledyne Technologies. "The award of this contract is a result of our commitment to deliver exceptional quality and service based on more than 30 years of hydrogen and fuel cell experience." The Teledyne MEDUSA RD system is the result of an alliance between Teledyne Energy Systems, Inc. and Scribner Associates, Inc.
