SOFC TEST BENCH MHT100

Product catalog summary

Overview: The SOFC Test Bench MHT100 is a comprehensive testing station designed for the operation and measurement of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) with optional Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) features. It is suitable for planar solid oxide cells and double-sided cells (DSC).

Specifications: The test bench includes a programmable electronic load with specifications of 0-20 V, 0-25 A, and 0-100 W, and operates in constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR), and constant power (CP) modes. It features a user-friendly GUI for test operation and monitoring, and manages reagent flow using mass flow controllers. The system can control furnace and gas preheaters with temperatures up to 900 °C across three channels.

Safety and Compatibility: The MHT100 is a plug-and-play system compatible with various furnace designs. It includes safety features such as gas detection, alarm conditions, automatic safety shutdown, and inert gas purge. It conforms to CE marking standards according to EMC directive 2014/30/EU, Low voltage directive 2014/35/EU, ATEX directive 2014/35/EU, and Machinery directive 2006/42/WE.

Optional Add-ons: Optional features include a programmable power supply (0-200 V/0-25 A/0-1.5 kW), an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy module (0-60V, +/- 49A, EIS up to 10 kHz), an electrolysis products composition analyzer, and a steam generator. The configuration can be customized to meet specific customer requirements.

Technical Data: The test bench supports fuel flow, inert gas flow, and oxidant gas flow with respective ranges of 0-5 Nl/min, 0-5 Nl/min, and 0-50 Nl/min. It operates at temperatures from 0 to 900 °C using type K/S thermocouples, with a supply voltage of 230 VAC/~50Hz and a maximum power of 3.2 kW. It includes 14 channels for cell voltage monitoring and 5 channels for temperature monitoring.

Safety Features: The system is equipped with an emergency stop, alarming system, hydrogen sensors, ventilation airflow sensor, automatic emergency shutdown, and safety gas purge on the fuel line.

Data Acquisition: The MHT100 includes an embedded computer with an SQL database for data acquisition. Optional features include a reversible load for electrolysis and fuel cell mode, embedded leakage test, UPS, and EIS module.

Applications: The MHT100 is tailored for universities and R&D labs involved in fuel cell research, as well as stack developers performing testing on fuel cell generators and electrolysis. It is ideal for screening materials and components, optimizing production processes, evaluating durability, and conducting endurance tests on small SOFC and SOEC stacks.
