View Additional ProfilesPASADENA, Calif., June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC), a company that transforms proven space and defense technologies from NASA and the Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions, announced today that it has entered into distribution agreements for its laser based HS-1000 VIASENSOR relative humidity instrument with WonATech of Korea. WonATech has already purchased their initial unit.
WonATech is a distributor of high technology products including fuel cell and other test equipment to both companies and universities in Korea, with additional distribution partners in Taiwan, China, Malaysia, India and Iran.
The performance of hydrogen fuel cells using a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) depends on the moisture level of the membrane. The membrane only conducts protons when it is hydrated or moist. The moisture is provided by water vapor in the incoming air or hydrogen stream. The VIASPACE HS-1000 VIASENSOR instrument provides real-time measurements of the amount of water vapor in these gas streams.
VIASPACE CEO Carl Kukkonen stated "WonATech is a well-known company in Korea with distribution to several other countries throughout Asia, and we are proud to have them as a partner to distribute our HS-1000 VIASENSOR product globally. We believe that the HS-1000 will help customers rapidly develop and optimize new designs for fuel cells for portable electronics and hybrid electric vehicles."
