Acumentrics’AcuTestR is an ideal tool for getting hands-on experience in electrochemistry, power engineering, materials science, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics. Whether you want to research cell performance, or teach students marketable, next-generation skills in alternative energy, our Fuel Cell Investigation system provides the platform to get ahead. Now researchers can open the “black box”and see how our fuel cells really work. The AcumentricsAcuTestR features up to five of our innovative, high temperature, tubular solid oxide fuel cells in a complete test stand. Cells are located in an accessible rack in parallel, with individual fuel metering and current control, with thermal management. Each cell produces approximately 20 watts and is operational within 45 minutes of start.
