SOFC Planar Test System

fuelcellmaterials.com offers an integrated, turn key solid oxide fuel cell sytem for the research ready to move beyond button cell testing. Included are the 28 cm2 SOFC Test Manifold kit along with a customized furnace and test stand. This complete system will allow you to focus on our SOFC research and not on creating the equipment needed for your research.

• Automatic hardware shutdown and purge gas for safe, reliable operation
• Testing software for user-friendly computer-controlled cell operation and experimentation
• Up to five mass flow channels with constant or stoichiometric-controlled reactant flow rates
• Anode and cathode stainless steel ambient temperature humidifiers
