Description
Purpose
PEMFC Testing station of power range up to 100 W provided in two sizes. One version includes the space for operating fuel cell while the shorter version supposes to run the fuel cell on separate table. This version is suitable if the experiment has to be performed in some special condition – synchrotron, very special spacious cell holder.
Capabilities
Up to 4 lines of gases, where three of them are fully humidified and integrated, enable to perform all basic fuel cell experiment as well as all electrochemical experiment. Humidification system is automatically refiled.
Fully automated and unattended operation
All functions of testing station are controlled by computer and it is ready for remote control: especially all valves, heaters, mass flow control, pressure control, humidity control. System is fully automated enables unattended operation.
Safety
System contains safety procedures as nitrogen purge and emergency shut down. Working range as voltage and current of the cell, all temperature sensors are compared with safety limits that can be set. There are two levels of limits. Hydrogen leak sensor is installed.
