A fuel cell test
Test the fuel cell, the characteristics of materials and components to ensure the efficiency of the hydrogen fuel cell, performance and long service life is very important.In terms of service life estimation/quality control, performance changes over time and in the process of assembling performance change made an important test.According to the standard or personalized customer demand determine the shape of sample preparation, sample and test sequence.

What is a fuel cell?
A fuel cellCan convert chemical energy from gaseous hydrogen to electricity, water and heat.As a result, they can be the system even in auto electronic products such as stationary power plants to provide energy.With energy or used in the automotive industry, compared to the traditional technology of fuel cell significantly higher efficiency, and no emissions and very quiet.
According to the use of the electrolyte and electrode fuel cells can be divided into different categories.Among them, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is especially suitable for automotive industry (medium and heavy vehicles), the most development potential.On the other hand, the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is mainly used for stationary energy storage.
Fuel cell research and development of the main goals include increasing the benefit of the cost and improve performance and prolong service life.
Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is composed of membrane electrode assembly (MEA), including proton exchange membrane (PEM), the catalyst layer (CL), gas diffusion layer (GDL), double plate and seals.
Fuel cell component testing
Mechanical properties for each component in the fuel cell system is very important.Test the fuel cellWhen, need to focus on the following parts:
- Proton exchange membrane (PEM),
- Gas diffusion layer (GDL),
- Double plate and seals.
ZwickRoell for with and without a different mediumTensile testCreep test, the adhesion strength and growth test, three point bending test and tear test provides a solution.
Fuel cell components under the mechanical load test
Parts, composite parts or assembly after the mechanical properties of the integrity of the force sensor research and development to understand the actual working condition of the battery performance is critical.ZwickRoell providesA fuel cell testSolutions that can help customers to understand the assembly pressure of fuel cell components mechanical properties (thickness, electrical properties and gas permeability) change.
Test the fuel cell in the assembly process
Assembly is a complex process.Assembly force and the interaction of working temperature will lead to uneven distribution of stress between components, resulting in a certain degree of deformation.Assembly process inefficient and inaccurate will cause manufacturing cost increase.
