RE520 Educational Alkaline Fuel Cell
A bench top hydrogen fuel cell with integral control system and electrical load. The unit allows students to investigate the performance of a fuel cell under varying load and system temperature.
The unit is fully instrumented and supplied with WindowsTM based software, allowing the cell current, voltage and fuel consumption to be recorded as the load and operating temperature is varied.
The unit may be operated under fully automatic or manual control thereby allowing students with a broad range of abilities to gain valuable experience of technology that is destined to be of increasing importance.
To ensure operator safety the unit incorporates both software and mechanical interlocks and a flammable gas detection system that is linked to the main control unit.
