Since there is no practical limit to the amount of propane storage that can be connected to the system, operators can size the fuel supply to match their desired site visit schedule. The INERGIO unit itself requires no maintenance-related site visits.

A fuel manager allows 2 cartridges (56L) connected simultaneously. Each time both run empty, a site visit is required to replace them (€700/visit). The first pair is assumed to be installed at setup and is not counted as a visit.
Lifetime Cost of Ownership
INERGIO lasts >15,000 h. Methanol FCs require replacement after 6,000 h. Diesel generators require replacement after ~8,000 h.
