PTS-10 Fuel Cell Test Station

Key Features

The PTS-10 system from LeanCat is a modular, multi-kW fuel cell test system for research and development of large area fuel cells.  The system lends itself to a broad range of applications. Key features include:

  • Suitable for low-temperature PEM fuel cells
  • Convenient testing of short stacks or large-area single cells
  • Automatic control of flow rate, humidity, temperature and back pressure individually for anode and cathode lines
  • Variety of electronic loads and potentiostats available
  • Cell/stack temperature control with liquid cooling circuit
  • Robust system based on industrial PLC with data logging into SQL database
  • Safety features for fully automated operation
  • CE certificate of conformitys.
