With AIP H2 test benches, tests and characterizations are carried out on Fuel Cell Membrane Electrode Assemblys (H2 FC-MEA), Fuel Cell Stacks (H2 FC-STACK) or on Electrolyser Cells / Stacks (H2 EC Electrolyser) under defined and reproducible operating conditions.
- The AIP H2 test benches are based on a modular system and are designed to be self-sufficient and flexible
- In-House developed test bench automation system for all hydrogen test benches (AIP-MCS)
- Production and software from one source
H2 EC-Electrolyseur
Features
- Dynamic pressure control at cathode and anode
- Gas volume flow measurement at anode and cathode (H2 and O2)
- Measurement of dewpoint, pressure, and temperature after the cell
- Drying of the product gases H2 and O2 by tube bundle heat exchangers
- Pressurized DI water supply with integrated ion exchanger
- Electronic power supply (optional)
- Automatic condensate separation with sampling option
- Inerting in the event of a fault with nitrogen at cathode and anode
- Plausibility and monitoring functions (H2 warning unit, flow monitoring exhaust air system, leak test, monitoring of customer media, ...)
- Automated, unmanned operation
- Modular DAQ system for data acquisition and data visualization
- Possibility of connection to the customer’s ATEX exhaust air system
- Cooling circuit for tempering the DUT (optional)
- Impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to characterize the cells, including Cyclovoltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry (optional)
- Cell voltage monitoring up to 800 channels (optional)
Application
- Separation of water (H2O) into hydrogen H2 and oxygen O2
