FuelCon: fuel cell test stand

Fuel cell technology is one of the most exciting fields in the area of new energy development with high scientific and technological requirements. There is a range of different fuel cell platforms including; PEH, PAFC, DMFC, SOFC or MCFC. Each platform required different peripheral conditions concerning process technology, process-induced peculiarites or stringent operating forms. From the selection below, FuelCon offers test systems for most of these platforms. With the move towards standardized fuel cell testing, FuelCon supports the efforts of various leading research institutes worldwide, in the development, optimization and cost reduction of material and components as the fuel cell industry moves towards commercialization. Our fuel cell test systems are constructed from the following basic modules: A series of standard systems for testing both individual and stack cells can be supplied as well as tailor-made and customer-specific solutions by adding or removing modules. The advantage to our customer is the tailor-made solutions based on well-tested hard ware and soft ware components from our standardized products.

The Evaluator® C allows for a wider range of parameter testing of individual cells up to 600A. Each Evaluator® C contains the complete system technology necessary for the operation of a fuel cell including gas supply and humidification thermal management, pressure regulation and electrical load. With the help of the integrated control and operating software FuelWork® you can choose any operating and power load settings to run fully automated programmes and cycles. These systems are flexible and can be adapted to different configuration by refitting options like reformer gas simulation, impedance-spectroscopy or methanol fuel feed as well as mechanical and electrical interfaces to environmental chambers and shakers. The testing zone is completely enclosed with hydrogen sensors and ventilation control to ensure operator, equipment and facilities safety. The test bays are delivered wired and ready for connection and start up. Evaluator® C test rigs are available with specific set-ups for all fuel cell technologies (PEM, SOFC, DMFC, MCFC)

The Evaluator® S tests complete fuel cell stacks. Each Evaluator® S contains the complete system technology necessary for the operation of a stack including gas supply and humidification thermal management, pressure regulation and electrical load. With the help of the integrated control and operating software FuelWork® you can choose any operating and power load settings to run fully automated programmes and cycles. These systems are flexible and can be adapted to different parameters or configurations by refitting options like reformer gas simulation, heat disconnecting device, water-cooled and back-feed load systems, individual cell monitoring or methanol fuel feed. Fuel feed as well as electrical and mechanical interfaces to environmental chambers and shakers. The testing zone is completely enclosed with hydrogen sensors and ventilation control to ensure operator, equipment and facility safety. The testing stands are delivered wired and ready for connection and start up.

Reformer® systems resemble stacks as far as their complexity is concerned. Typical systems consist of the reformer, the shift reactor partial (selective oxidation) and thermal management subsystems. The optimal stationary and dynamic interaction of these subsystems is the challenge for fuel cell system or balance-of-plant optimization, and cannot be solved unless you have a flexible testing platform. For this challenge FuelCon has developed a flexible concept for supplying media to the different components of the system simultaneously. This concept allows a defined conditioning of gaseous and fluid media (evaporation, mixing, heating, back-feeding). Samples are taken and prepared and the conversion characteristics are assessed via accompanying analysis tools. With the help of the integrated control and operating software FuelWork® you can choose any operating and power load settings to run fully automated programmes and cycles. Thus complex analytical programmes like the investigation of the start-up performance, dynamics load evaluation, the optimization of the S/C relation, the optimization of the control structure and control parameters, the examination of the system performance using different fuels, or the examination of system life, durability and efficiency can be preformed using FuelCon 's Evaluator® R.
