Planar Cell Testing Tips |
|
|---|---|
|
Make sure the voltage wires are insulated and won’t short during testing. Check to make sure all gas connections are made and are tight. When performing long-term testing, include an anode humidity condenser with adequate water levels throughout test. Ensure current tabs are securely connected. |

Furnace Testing Tips |
|
|---|---|
|
Use the Silicon Carbide plates below and above the cell to distribute pressure evenly. The furnace door is designed to allow for varied cell heights. If you desire the lid to close further, you may remove the top Silicon Carbide plate only. The furnace is designed to use compression to help make a good seal. Compression is given by an adjustable weight on the side that provides torque. Thermiculite seals are specifically designed to give good sealing at low surface stresses, and sealing is not reduced by thermal cycling. |
