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. |

Additional Options
Test Fixture Kit + Furnace
 |
fuelcellmaterials, with the help of renowned furnace companies and test stand vendors, is able to offer specialized furnaces for use with the SOFC test fixtures it offers. The furnace has a top-opening lid for in-furnace assembly of your test sample. An adjustable mechanical loading system is used to compress the system to the amount needed for your samples. |
MCO Coating of Current Conductor Plates
 |
Our innovative ChromLokTM system provides metallic components used in solid-oxide cell systems with the high-temperature protection they need. The coating prevents the release of detrimental chromium species from stainless steels during high temperature operation. Coatings include a manganese cobaltite (MCO) coating, which combines excellent protection with low resistance, ideal for the cathode active-area where electrical conductivity is critical. |
Test Fixture Kit + Furnace + Test Stand
 |
fuelcellmaterials offers an integrated, turn key solid oxide fuel cell sytem for the researcher ready to move beyond button cell testing. Included are the 5 cm x 5 cm SOFC Test Manifold kit along with a customized furnace and test stand. This complete system will allow you to focus on actually performing SOFC research, not on creating the equipment needed.
