Add to compare

The 840 Advanced Fuel Cell Test System is a fully integrated, turn-key test station designed for short stacks and large area single cell testing. It features a 1 kW test station in an integrated bench-top unit, offering advanced capabilities for precise and reliable fuel cell testing. The system includes an 890 Electronic Load with variable power outputs (125 W, 500 W, or 1 kW), an 892 Data Acquisition Module for 16 channels of voltage/temperature measurement, dual Anode & Cathode mass flow controllers for enhanced accuracy, gas selector valves for automated switching between up to 3 Anode and 3 Cathode gases, and an automated humidifier by-pass for wet/dry cycling. It also includes large capacity Anode & Cathode SS humidifiers with automatic water fill, flexible SS temperature-controlled heated gas transfer lines, and FuelCell software for user-friendly operation and experimentation. The system supports constant or stoichiometric-controlled reactant flow, real-time cell resistance and IR-free voltage measurement via Current Interrupt, and whole cell voltage plus two high-impedance reference inputs for half-cell data. Safety features include automatic hardware shutdown for alarm conditions, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
