This fuel cell is an environmentally friendly, quiet power generator which combined with their Powerbox supplies electricity to the infrared cabin.<\/p>\n<h3>Powerbox system<\/h3>\n<p>The New Enerday Powerbox contains an EN400 fuel cell system, a battery buffer bank, a solar charge controller and two high-power Victron Energy inverter-chargers. At the beginning of April the Powerbox was shipped to Kathmandu. From there a truck carried the equipment directly to the base camp, where the Sherpas were able to unload it simply due to all the components being contained within the aluminum Powerbox.<\/p>\n<p>New Enerday&#8217;s development engineer Dr. Arne Sommerfeld followed the Powerbox to base camp, taking a small detour over Lhasa, Xigaze and Tingri. On the 16th of April he commissioned the system and naturally was one of the first to &#8216;test&#8217; the infrared cabin!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Everest-New-Enerday_69885991.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12976 size-blogpost-content\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Everest-New-Enerday_69885991-690x433.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Everest-New-Enerday_69885991-690x433.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Everest-New-Enerday_69885991-730x458.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Everest-New-Enerday_69885991-1024x642.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Everest-New-Enerday_69885991-768x482.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Everest-New-Enerday_69885991-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Everest-New-Enerday_69885991.jpg 1277w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/a>The Powerbox will supply power until the middle of June, ensuring Furtenbach Adventures expedition members will be able to benefit from the infrared cabin and its breathtaking panorama.
