Fuel Cell Test Equipment for SOFC
Our Evaluator HT test stands are proven solutions designed to meet the specific requirements of SOFC fuel cells, including long-term testing, performance testing, and material characterization of single cells, components, cell stacks, hot boxes, or complete systems. In addition, we offer joining stations for the fabrication of SOFC cell stacks, as well as systems for in-process quality assurance of MEAs.
Automated
Evaluator HT test systems ensure the smooth operation of automated test programs and thermal cycles at temperatures of up to 1,100 °C. The fuel cell test stands are equipped with proven furnace designs and various modules for the reproducible, precise adaptation of single cells or cell stacks. A wide range of gas mixing options allows for the simulation of any desired fuel gas scenarios..
For the respective testing requirements, we offer different classes of SOFC fuel cell test stands:
| Your Requirement | Our Product |
|---|---|
| Testing single cells and components | Test systems with power outputs of up to 2,000 W and currents up to 1,000 A for SOFC single cells and components such as MEAs, electrodes, seals, and catalysts |
| Testing cell stacks and hot-box systems | Test systems with power outputs of up to 25 kW for SOFC cell stacks and hot boxes |
| Testing complete systems | Test systems with power outputs of up to 25 kW for SOFC demonstrators and fuel cell systems in stationary applications |
| Manufacturing equipment | Sintering and joining stations for the production and quality monitoring of SOFC fuel cells |
All SOFC test stands can be expanded or retrofitted with suitable modules that enable SOEC/rSOC testing.
