Fuel Cell Stack Hardware

Such an emulator is of great interest for hardware in the loop hil applications to be used for real time hardware validation of fuel cell systems.

Fuel cell stack hardware.

The fuel cell stack is being made ready for large scale production. The flex stak fuel cell is an excellent learning tool that gives hands on experience with promising fuel cell technology. This stack of proton exchange membrane fuel cells pemfc also known as polymer electrolyte membrane pem fuel cells is where an electrochemical exchange of the reactant gases hydrogen and oxygen produces electricity. Hardware components used to incorporate an mea into a fuel cell include gaskets which provide a seal around the mea to prevent leakage of gases and bipolar plates which are used to assemble individual pem fuel cells into a fuel cell stack and provide channels for the gaseous fuel and air.

13 5 cm x 13 5 cm x 5 cm. The flex stak comes in a 1 cell or 5 cell stack configuration depending on your requirements. The emulator experimental results are validated with a commercial ballard nexa 1 2 kw fuel cell stack. The hardware assemblies include protective housing for graphite plates if applicable to separate and distribute gas gold plated plates to collect current produced membrane protecting gasketing and gas tight tubing for efficient flow and utilization.

Silicone standard size at 50cm h x w x l. Fc 50 hardware can be used with bi polar plates to create a fuel cell stack gaskets. The membrane catalyst layers anode and cathode and diffusion media together form the membrane electrode assembly mea of a pem fuel cell.
