9 Storage and maintenance
9.1 User maintenance
Before every operation the FCPM should be inspected for damage.
Hydrogen systems must be inspected prior to each use to verify that no gas leaks
are present.
In the event of a heavy impact the following should be checked on the FCPM:
• All coverings are still in place and undamaged
• Hydrogen pipework is still in good condition with no leaks
• Fans rotate freely
In the event of it being stored for more than 60 days, the FCPM should be operated
at >80% rated capacity for at least 40 minutes.
9.2 Recommended storage
To maintain the condition of the FCPM between operational usage, the FCPM
should be stored as follows:
• The FCPM should be stored in a sealed plastic bag
• Do not place desiccant inside the plastic bag
• Ideal conditions are +20°C and 50% humidity
