Product overview
The S100 solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC/SOEC) test system is designed to provide a high-precision, high-stability platform for single-cell and short-stack testing and materials evaluation. It supports electrochemical characterization, electrode/raw material screening, sintering/process validation, poisoning tests, lifetime testing and dynamic operating condition simulations. The main unit integrates gas flow control, humidification, heating, valves and sensors; accessories include electronic load and PC. Software and control algorithms enable automated test sequences and 24 h unattended operation.
