VIASPACE Receives First International Order for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Humidity Sensor

VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC), a company commercializing proven technologies from NASA and the US Department of Defense into hardware and software solutions, announced that it has received its first international order for its VIASENSOR HS-1000 Humidity Sensor from Scitech Korea Inc., based in Seoul, Korea.

Demonstrations of the product at the Fuel Cell Expo in Japan in February 2007 received highly favorable feedback throughout Asia, and the company has received multiple queries for applications where the real-time water vapor measurement capability is important. The VIASENSOR HS-1000 is a leading edge test device that quickly and accurately determines the level of relative humidity or water vapor flowing in a gas stream, which is vital to the proper function and efficiency of hydrogen fuel cells.

The HS-1000 uses proprietary technology to enable continuous, real-time, non-invasive and reliable measurement of the temperature, pressure and moisture content of hydrogen and air feeds for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The VIASENSOR takes data measurements every five seconds, provides automatic data collection software and interfaces to any PC. The device is built to withstand the high temperature and high humidity fuel cell environment, is small in size, quick to deploy and does not require specialized installation.

Dr. Carl Kukkonen, CEO of VIASPACE, commented: "With the initial order from Asia for the VIASENSOR HS-1000, VIASPACE has shown this to be a breakthrough product that meets a critical need for hydrogen fuel cell design and performance measurement on a global basis. We are delighted with the order from Scitech Korea Inc. VIASPACE is pursuing expanding opportunities, both internationally and domestically, to serve potential customers in the automotive, test instrumentation and fuel cell markets."
