Getting Started with PEM-EC Testing
The Evaluator PEM-EC1 provides a compact and application-oriented platform for the development and validation of PEM electrolyzer cells. This reference product supports research and development activities throughout the entire development process, from material characterization to the evaluation of cell behavior under realistic operating conditions.
Standardized Yet Flexible
Thanks to its modular design, the Evaluator PEM-EC1 can be flexibly adapted to different research requirements and development stages. Extensions and optional features can be integrated as needed without sacrificing the benefits of a standardized platform.
From Catalyst Optimization to Performance Validation
The Evaluator PEM-EC1 supports key applications in the research and development of PEM electrolyzer cells:
- Electrochemical characterization for the analysis of materials, MEAs, and components
- Performance testing to evaluate efficiency, hydrogen production, and operating behavior
- Accelerated Stress Tests (ASTs) to assess stability and degradation behavior under dynamic load profiles
- Gas crossover analyses to investigate safety and cell performance
Reliable Testing under Dynamic Operating Conditions
PEM electrolyzer cells must operate reliably even under varying load conditions. The Evaluator PEM-EC1 supports the investigation of degradation mechanisms, performance limits, and safety aspects under realistic dynamic operating profiles, while facilitating the assessment of the long-term behavior of modern electrolysis technologies.
Versatile Research and Development Applications
From fundamental research to application-oriented development, the Evaluator PEM-EC1 supports a wide range of research and development activities. In addition to evaluating new materials and cell concepts, realistic operating conditions can be reproduced and dynamic load profiles and renewable energy sources can be simulated. This enables innovative PEM electrolysis technologies to be efficiently developed, compared, and validated.
