Liquid-Cooled Test Fixture – quickCONNECTfixture FC12/100 High Amp

The quickCONNECTfixture FC12/100 HA is a compressed-air-pressurized test system designed for the precise evaluation of PEM fuel cell core components under fully reproducible test conditions.

Together with the cellFixture cF12/100 insert cell, it enables characterization of flow fields, CCMs, MEAs, GDLs, GDEs, membranes and other components at an active area of 12 cm² with improved thermal control and rapid cell exchange.

Featuring seamless integration into laboratory and test-stand environments, adjustable contact pressure, and direct liquid cooling/heating, the system is well-suited for research, scientific development, and quality-assurance workflows.

Key features

quickCONNECTfixture

Compressed-air-supplied frame for mounting the cellFixture and enabling reproducible PEM fuel cell testing
