Hydrogen & Alternative Fuel Products:
Quantum-Tecstar is the established world leader in the design, development, manufacturing and commercializing of hydrogen and alternative gaseous fuel management systems for global markets serving motor vehicles, off-road vehicles, stationary engines and high altitude aircraft. Our engineers are have been responsible for the design, development, validation and certification of entire gaseous fuel systems including fuel storage, fuel transfer, fuel metering, electronics and software controls for major OEMs globally, resulting in over 18,000 OEM hydrogen and alternative fuel systems sold worldwide.

Hydrogen Storage
Quantum-Tecstar produces the lightest, advanced composite tanks for on-board storage that is the leading hydrogen storage system technology used by OEMs today. Our proprietary TriShield™ technology can provide in excess of 300 miles (483 km). Extensive experience in developing and validating advanced systems for OEM applications has resulted in an ultra-lightweight advanced composite cylinder design for compressed hydrogen that can hold up to 10,000-psi (70 MPa). In fact, we have the only certified internationally 10,000-psi (70 MPa) hydrogen storage system available in the market since 2002. The ultra-lightweight design of our tank resulting in high hydrogen mass by volume coupled with our patented In-Tank Regulator, improve the range and safety of hydrogen vehicles.

Natural Gas Storage:
Quantum-Tecstar has developed a line of lightweight and cost-effective CNG tanks specifically for bus, truck and automotive applications, where storage weight can influence payload capacity and life cycle costs.

Injectors:
Quantum-Tecstar's gaseous fuel injector is a direct replacement injector designed to work with natural gas, propane and hydrogen in internal combustion engines and fuel cell applications. Existing injector designs derived from gasoline injectors suffer from premature failure due to accelerated wear from dry, low lubricity gaseous fuels, orifice contamination and insufficient flow capacity for today's applications. This multi-port gaseous fuel injector addresses these shortcomings and is the first automotive-type fuel injector capable of handling the high flow rate fuel delivery required by 300+ horsepower V8 engines. A simple design provides freedom from frictional wear and sticking that allows for enhanced durability to over 600 million cycles.

Regulators:
Quantum-Tecstar's pressure regulator product line incorporates advanced and patented technologies designed especially for gaseous fuels. Regulator products include an In-Tank series for natural gas or hydrogen and an In-Line, or rail, series for natural gas, propane and hydrogen fuels. In-Tank Regulators reduce the storage tank pressure from as high as 10,000-psi (70 MPa) down to 150-psi (1 MPa), eliminating the need for high-pressure fuel lines running throughout the vehicle. This results in an inherently safer system, and a competitive advantage for our OEM customers. The In-Line regulator is specially designed for use with our gaseous fuel injector and mounts in the fuel rail, thus providing a packaging advantage.

Electronic Controllers:
Quantum-Tecstar has a broad base of experience in designing OEM automotive engine controllers and mass flow sensors used for gaseous fuel engine management systems from concept to production. Some of the unique inputs and outputs needed for gaseous fuel systems are not supported by OEM powertrain controllers. In an effort to minimize the impact to OEM hardware and software, these systems can handle fuel control and diagnostics by means of a separate controller that can be designed to meet your unique requirements. All circuit boards, assemblies, enclosures and wire harnesses are designed and validated in-house to OEM standards and are based on a variety of processors including:

Motorola 683xx
Motorola 68HC11
Motorola 68HC05
Intel 80Cxx
Microchip PIC16Cxx
Microchip PIC18Cxx
Electronic controllers are capable of doing very little on their own. It's the software that gives them life and purpose. Quantum-Tecstar's team of dedicated software engineers develops sophisticated algorithms and routines that integrate vehicle, powertrain and total systems operation into unique and discreet units. In addition to this, we have complete laboratories for development and testing emissions and performance of your engine or vehicle-making Quantum-Tecstar your one-stop shop.

Our emission testing facility in Lake Forest, California, was the first to utilize AVL's bag mini-diluter technology that has been approved by CARB and EPA, and is the preferred method for testing Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (SULEV). Utilizing vehicle chassis and engine cell equipment, we provide emissions testing for vehicle production programs and for developers of aftermarket performance products. This lab is also one of only a few select West Coast emissions facilities capable of testing vehicles fueled with hydrogen. We have developed a full array of services including EPA/CARB certification testing including SULEV, development testing including catalyst efficiency, OBD II calibration, engine durability testing, engine mapping and in-use fleet testing.

Our 33,000 square foot manufacturing/technical center in Troy, Michigan, features three separate dynamometer test cells for testing or tuning engines. Our 2WD, 4WD or AWD chassis dynamometer is thought to be the largest in North America, with the capability of handling engines up to 2000 hp, and race cars that can reach speeds of 200 mph.

Hydrogen Refueling Products:
Quantum-Tecstar specializes in portable and transportable hydrogen refueling systems for demonstration and test fleets. Our hydrogen refueling systems are user-friendly, compact, compatible with SAE and California Fuel Cell Partnership refueling protocols, and allow for data collection and analysis. The design approach was to focus on the transitional phase of the hydrogen economy by providing the hydrogen refueling solutions to support the introduction of fuel cell vehicles. Our refuelers are a cost-effective solution for the emerging fuel cell vehicle market as the major automakers push toward commercialization and as large scale refueling stations are installed.
Available Models:
B35
B70

Hyauler™
HyHauler Plus™
HyHauler™ Military Version

B35 & B70 Hydrogen Refueling Products:
Quantum-Tecstar's B35 and B70 refuelers offer a simple yet sophisticated hydrogen refueling solution for development vehicles and fleets. The B35 and B70 refuelers use an oil-free gas compression system to deliver hydrogen at high pressure from a variety of sources, including industrial hydrogen bottles, bulk tube trailers and on-site hydrogen generating systems. These hydrogen refueling systems are ideally suited for small development fleets requiring a flexible hydrogen source that is compact and transportable.

Garage Refuelers:
A user-friendly hydrogen refueling system can fit right in your garage. Quantum-Tecstar's garage refueler produces hydrogen from electricity and water then stores it to enable rapid refueling of your hydrogen vehicle, be it powered by a fuel cell or a hydrogen internal combustion engine.


HyHauler™ Hydrogen Refuelers:
The HyHauler™ is a concept borne out of our commitment to the hydrogen economy. The concept is to establish a cost-effective hydrogen infrastructure using an inherently modular transportable system that can expand as demand grows. We have developed two versatile versions. The HyHauler™ packs powerful refueling technology at the user's fingertips by providing a single source for portable refueling of hydrogen in a distributable package. The HyHauler Plus™ creates hydrogen through electrolysis, then compresses and stores the hydrogen in a transportable package. Ruggedized versions of the HyHauler™ refueling systems are under development for military applications.
