Listing Description

The test lab focuses on performance and durability testing of solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysis cells. Both single cells and stacks may be tested.

Single cell test

– 21 test stations for SOFC or SOEC testing
– Fully automated, remote control, advanced safety control
– Gas options for air and/or fuel side: H2, O2, air, CO, CO2, CH4, N2, Ar, H2S
– Electrolysis of steam, CO2, or co-electrolysis of steam and CO2
– Electronic load up to 40 A (SOFC) and power supply up to 40 A (SOEC)
– Potentiostatic or galvanostatic testing
– Impedance spectroscopy under current load: 100 kHz → 0.05 Hz
– Gas cleaning: Possible removal of impurities in inlet gas stream (patented gas cleaning system)
– Future option: Testing under high pressure (50-100 bar)

Stack test

– 2 test stations for SOFC or SOEC testing
– Fully automated, remote control, advanced safety control
– Up to 25 cells in one stack. Short stack testing, e.g. with 5 cells
– Gas options for air and/or fuel side: CH4, CO, CO2, air, H2, N2, O2
– Steam electrolysis or co-electrolysis of steam and CO2
– Gas cleaning: Possible removal of impurities in inlet gas stream (patented gas cleaning system)
– Electronic load up to 1100 W (SOFC) and power supply up to 30 V and 400 A (SOEC)
– Impedance spectroscopy under current load: 20 kHz → 0.5 Hz
– Future option: Testing under high pressure (50-100 bar)
