These testing
equipment are for the fields of
performance/evaluation tests of fuel cells, and
are applicable to from fundamental research such
as element research, material research and
single-cell/module research to practical
application test. CHINO offers total
coordination from designing and manufacturing to
engineering works at site, adjustment and
delivery such as gas supply, moisturizing volume
control, temperature control, data measurement
and automatic operation.

PEFC Single-Cell
Testing Equipment (Polymer Electrolyte Fuel
Cell)
The equipment is
power generating test of polymer electrolyte
fuel cells (PEFC) consisted of gas supply line,
moisturizing line, cell performance measuring
line and safety line.
As it is small, lightweight and low temperature
operation, the start-up time is short and also
has high energy output density.
The equipment is applied to initial test and
endurance test of PEFCs which will be utilized
in small sized industrial uses, home uses,
portable uses and in-vehicle uses.

Gas
supply line
It receives gas from
0.4MPa to 1MPa and supplies it to a fuel cell.
In addition, it has a safety function to cut
anode and cathode gas at alarm activated and to
automatically purge nitrogen gas to the
equipment and the fuel cell.
Moisturizing
line
Moisturizing volume
(moisturizing temperature control) is an
important item for cell performance.
The moisturizing unit in this equipment utilizes
precision temperature control system using
resistance thermometer, and is using techniques
of high efficiency vapor-liquid contact by
SUS316L bubbler and protection of
dew-condensation after moisturizing.
The capacity of the moisturizing unit is
8-hour/day.
Liquid-crystal display unit is used to display
cell information of generated voltage and
current and to set alarm information, power
generation start, etc. sequentially. In
addition, fuel utilizing ratio constant control
(automatic settings of anode and cathode gas
flow proportioning to load current).
Safety
line
For heater line,
independent dual safety function, high limit
alarm of controller and separate alarm unit, are
built-in.
Safety operation are heater power supply turning
off, fuel cell/oxidizing reagent supply
stopping, automatic purging of nitrogen in each
pole, and electronic load unit [OA] for safety
of equipment and cell.. |
