5 cm x 5 cm Test Fixture Kit for SOFC Research

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 your 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

Tailored Furnace with Custom Mechanical Load System

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.

Designed to work with 855 Test Stand
Upper temperature: 1100°C

855 Model Test Stand with Automated Testing & Data Colection

This complete system will allow you to focus on actually performing SOFC research, not on creating the equipment needed.

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
Automated testing, set up the test conditions and walk away as they are completed by the end of the day
The program is set up nicely for easy customization of data collection including which variables are tracked, frequency of data recording, ect…
Impedance measurement capability is very user-friendly

855 SOFC Test Station Setup Video

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.

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.
