for fuel cellson siteautomatic

Product overview
The SOTS-F-S-3K solid oxide cell test system is a precision platform designed for evaluation and validation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC). The system supports basic IV characterization as well as complex dynamic test profiles and integrates software and hardware for reliable, repeatable measurements suitable for R&D and engineering validation.

Test capabilities

• Leak tightness testing
• Stability and endurance testing
• Direct current consumption measurement
• Current-voltage (IV) characterization
• Thermal cycle durability testing
• Real-time monitoring and alarm
• Fuel/steam utilization testing
• Sensitivity tests: temperature, pressure, etc.
• Cell-to-cell consistency monitoring within a stack

Product features

• Power range: 0.3–3 kW (SOFC) / 1–10 kW (SOEC)
• Bi-directional operation: Support for SOFC and SOEC mode switching
• Flexible adapters: Adaptable fixtures for multiple stack types
• Multiple humidification methods: Direct evaporation, bubbling, etc.
• Protective gas function: Protects the test sample
• Multi-zone temperature control: Ensures temperature uniformity, approx. ±5°C (room temperature to 1000°C)
• Wide-range gas preheat: Up to 850°C (5%–100% flow)
• Extensible interfaces: Supports electrochemical stations, sampling analysis, reforming modules, multi-component gas distribution
• Programmable safety PLC: Wake, standby, stop, emergency stop with four-level protection strategy
• Synchronized data storage: Background data 10 Hz; experimental data sampling according to test parameters

Optional functions and peripherals

• Humidification: steam humidifier
• SOEC mode: DC power supply
• Electrochemical testing: potentiostat/galvanostat
