1.4.3 HovaPOR CG7200
Description:
Hovacal is a portable calibration gas generator for accurate gas- vapor mixtures with selectable humidity and
temperatures up to 200 C.
HOVACAL is based on the principle of dynamic evaporation of liquids and mixture with carrier gas. The calibration gas
generator consists of a supply unit and an evaporator. The supply unit containing the pump for liquid, flow controller for
carrier gas and temperature controller for the evaporator. The evaporator is installed separately from the supply unit.
Both are connected via a link for carrier gas, liquid and power supply. The gas output of the evaporator can be fed in a
heated line or directly in the gas analyzer. Accuracy, reproducibility and stability of the calibration gas mixture are
achieved with a precision mass flow controller for carrier gas and a peristaltic pump for liquid. The liquid flow can be
verified with help of a balance, the carrier gas flow with a gas meter. This guarantees the verification with primary
standards at any time.
The complete calibration gas generator is mounted in a portable case. The calibration of emission monitoring systems
needs span gas with hydrogen chloride, ammonia, hydrogen fluoride and mercury chloride. Cheap standard solutions in
a wide concentration range are available for these components. The reagents have nearly infinite stability over time. No
gas cylinders are necessary. Precise water vapor mixtures for calibration of moisture analyzers or for gas humidifying
can be produced with water and air or with another carrier gas. Vapor gas mixtures with organic components can be
generated with organic reagents. Span gas for multi component analysis can be easily achieved with mixed reagents.
The elevated temperature of the gas vapor mixture avoids adsorption and corrosion of gas exposed surfaces.
Safety Benefits:
low pressure of the generated span gas no leakage problems: only the required amount of gas is
fewer high-pressure cylinders lessen the safety risk produced
simple transport without safety precautions simple disposal e.g. by means of neutralization
simple storage of the standard solutions in plastic bottles
Technical Benefits:
high accuracy: due to precise mass flow meter and balance controlled liquid metering
can be verified with primary methods: by means of gas meter and balance
quick gas response time: due to minimized adsorption effects
moisture content up to 60 Vol.-%: due to liquid evaporation of up to 6 ml/min
wide range of output: concentration range of 1:100 with one standard solution
gas flow up to 1000 l/h as standard (higher gas flows as options)
independent of temperature since evaporates completely
gas temperatures up to 200 C: adjustable depending on the application
quick change of components by replacing the standard solution
gas mixtures produced from combined standard solutions
customer-defined components can be generated by the user

Measurement
1.5.1 Current Scan High Res
Description:
In a fuel cell the locale conditions differ which leads to an
inhomogeneous mass conversion resulting in an inhomogeneous
current production. One of the keys to a deeper understanding of PEM
fuel cells, including the DMFC, is the measurement of the current
density distribution.
The devices of the series "current scan highres" are characterized by
a high resolution. The shown device has a resolution of 32 x 36 points
with an area of 50 x 50 mm. The data shows an inhomogeneous
current distribution which is caused by a depletion of hydrogen near
the outlet.
Assembly:
The devices of this series use a segmented electrode with segments
of about 1mm conducted to single electronic loads trough a
multilayered printed circuit board. The electronic loads are realized
with amplifiers who work as current source or sink. So the device can
be used on the anode or optionally on the cathode side. The principle
is shown in the following picture.
The membrane with the catalytic layers and the gasdiffusion layers will
be placed directly on the multilayerd printed circuit board. The size of
the device is limited, because the complexity grows quadratically with
the size or resolution. For large fuel cells there is another principle
available which is realized in the devices of the series "current scan
lin".
Features:
high resolution (electrodes of about 1mm)
20 mA per segment (more on request)
temperature range up to 120 C (200 C on request)
standard sizes are available (special designs on request)
Usage:
measurement of the current density distribution of a fully operating fuel cell
usable as anode or cathode of a single cell
detailed analysis of flow fields, manifolds, flow distribution and materials like gas diffusion layers
data mining for the simulation and optimization of fuel cells
fault diagnostic in fuel cells

1.5.2 Current Scan Lin
Current Density - and Temperature Distribution Measurement
Description:
In a fuel cell the locale conditions differ which leads to an
inhomogeneous mass conversion resulting in an inhomogeneous
current production. One of the keys to a deeper understanding of
PEM fuel cells, including the DMFC, is the measurement of the
current density distribution. Important is this in large fuel cells for a
save and reliable operations as well as a high lifetime. Up to now a
problem was the high complexity.
The shown device of type "current scan lin" has a resolution of 14 x
14 measurement cells on an area of 100 x 100 mm and of 3 mm
thickness. It will be placed between the two halfs of a bipolar plate at
an arbitrary place in the stack or function itself as a bipolar plate. The device of this type. The measurement of the
temperature is also possible.
Assembly:
The single measurement cells are conducted in series in rows and
columns. So the complexity for the connection wires for the data
acquisition of the signals depends only linear on the size or
resolution. So it is possible to measure at arbitrary large fuel cells.
The principle is shown in the following picture for example at 3 x 3
measurement cells.
The principle is based upon that the permeability of a magnetic material
is depending on the magnetization and the temperature. The current
which has to be measured flows through the coils and causes this
magnetization. The alternating currents i
1
(t) to i
n
(t) will be feed one after
the other into the matrix to activate the rows 1 to n. At the columns the
voltages u
1
(t) to u
n
(t) will be acquired as measurement signals. The
measurement cells which are not activated by an alternating current
deliver nothing to the measurement signal. In general n measurement
points can be reached with 2n wire pairs. So the complexity for control
and evaluation electronics is linear.
Features:
resolution of about 7 x 7 mm
with offset current extendable measurement range
calibration in the inserted state possible
temperature range up to 120 C
standard sizes are available (special designs on request)
Usage:
measurement of the current density and temperature distribution in a fuel cell stack

Description:
detailed analysis of flow fields detailed analysis of materials
optimization of fuel cells fault diagnostics in fuel cells
long-term tests resolution depends on design
current range depends on design standard devices are available
special designs on request mass production possible
With the current scan shunt, the current density distribution in fuel cells can be measured. Because of the simple
internal structure it is suitable for mass production. It is easy to use and the evaluation electronics can be connect via
USB to any computer. In a fuel cell the local conditions differ, which leads to an inhomogeneous mass conversion
resulting in an inhomogeneous current production. One of the keys to a better understanding of PEM fuel cells, DMFC
and other electrochemical cells is the measurement of the current density distribution. It is important for a save and
reliable operation as well as a high lifetime.
Application
The device of type current scan shunt shown has a resolution of 10 x 10
measurement cells and an active area of 50 cm. Because of the simple
internal structure it is suitable for mass production. So the current
scan shunt can also be applied in series production of fuel cells. It can
be used for example for control applications.
The sensor plate has a thickness of 0,7 mm. Because the sensor plates
are very thin they can be laminated together with a thicker part where
arbitrary channals can be milled into the surface. So if it is wished by
the customer the senor plate can be used as a flow field and the gas
diffusion layer can be placed directly on the gold plated sensor plate.
The sensor plate can be placed at an arbitrary position in the stack. Because of the simple internal structure the sensor
plates are suitable for mass production.
Measurement Principle
The devices of current scan shunt series use a low ohmic shunt
resistor for current measurement. We produce two different designs.
The first one is made out of material with a very low temperature
coefficient. In this case the measurement is temperature independend
and no further calibration is necessary. This is an efficient and easy way
for measurement. The second design is made from a special copper
layer. Because of the high temperature coefficient of copper a
temperature compensation is necessary
during the measurement. The current scan
shunt is produced in licence of the DLR
(German Aerospace Center). For both
design the signals from the shunt resistors
are connected to a multiplexer which automatically switches the signals to an amplifier and
evaluation electronic with Analog-to-Digital converter. The resolution is limited, because of
the complexity. The complexity grows quadratically with the number of rows and colums of
measurement cells. For each measurement cell two wires are necessary, therefore for an
array with n x n measurement cells 2n
2
wires are necessary.
So the current scan shunt is the best choice if there is enough space for the wires,
especially for small fuel cell or when a low resolution is sufficient. For large fuel cells we
recommend the current scan lin device of our successful current scan product line, which
works in a different way and has a linear complexity.

addition, it permits maximum flexibility in the use of the measurement channels and effectively prevents mutual
interference. Each channel also has an input protection circuit, which effectively intercepts harmful voltage peaks. In
addition, one PT100 temperature element per channel is used cold junction compensation.

1.6.1 V Scan
Description:

special designs on request
With the V scan, the single cell voltage in fuel cell stacks can be measured. Because of a special design a large number
of cells, resulting in a high voltage, is no problem. The V scan has a galvanic insulated fiber optic interface for save and
reliable operation. To prevent male functions a technique for detecting open circuits is included.
In a fuel cell stack the local conditions differ, which leads to an unequal distribution of the cell voltages. To prevent
damages of the fuel cell stack the voltage of each cell has to be kept above a specific level. So the single cell voltage
measurement is essential for a reliable and save operation of a fuel cell stack.
The devices of the series V scan provide single cell voltage measurements in fuel cell stacks up to 600 V. To minimize
the effort it is directly supplied from the fuel cell stack. So no extra power supply is necessary.
The base of the V scan is a printed circuit board which contains all the necessary semiconductors. It is brought with
contact springs in direct contact to the fuel cell stack. So no wires to or from the fuel cell stack are necessary. This
reduces the amount of wiring work to zero which is essential for a save and reliable operation of a single cell voltage
measurement device.
A wide choice of contact pins is available. Also a wide range in the distance between the contacts is possible.
The V scan starts operation from an average cell voltage of 0,3 V.
0 V or a reverse voltage of single cells can be detected as long as the average single cell voltage of the stack is above
0,3 V.
For a save and reliable operation it is equipped with a fiber optic interface. So it is completely galvanic insulated. To
prevent male functions a technique for detecting open circuits is included. With a special algorithm it is possible to
detect and show the position of open connections.
Measurement Principle
Of course single semiconductors can not handle a very high voltage. So the V scan is divided internally into groups. The
measurement data have to be transferred from group to group until the
fiber optic interface is reached or commands have to be transferred from
the fiber optic to each group. The groups are all on a different potential, so
the data lines can not be connected together.
A galvanic insulation with optocouplers would be a way to overcome this.
But it would result in a complex and bulky design. So the groups are
connected with current sources.
A logic 0 is transferred with a low current and a logic 1 is transferred with a
high current. An open connection to the fuel cell stack would result in
wrong measurements and so may lead to wrong control operations or even
an emergency shut down. To solve this problem the V scan provides a
method to detect open connections.
The measured voltage for both cells would be nearly zero because the open
input is discharged by the input resistor Rin of the analog to digital converter.

Application
The device of type V scan is designed for a fuel cell stack with 240
cells. The open circuit voltage will be approximately 240 V.
Custom made devices
The V scan is manufactured on customer requirements. Various contacts are possible, from simple spring contacts to
spring loaded contact probes with various head forms for graphite bipolar plates as well as stainless steal bipolar
plates. Also the distance between the contacts can be varied in a wide range. The length is adapted to the special stack.
If the device is ordered longer, respectively with the capability to measure more cells, than necessary the contacts
beyond the last cell in the stack must be short circuited. But this capability is limited! For the last group a higher
average cell voltage would be necessary to power the device. For best performance the amount of contact pins,
respectively measurement canals of the V scan should be designed especially for the amount of cells in the fuel cell
stack. For experimental setups several shorter devices of type V scan which may overlap can be used.

With a special command very small current sources are
connected to the inputs of the analog to digital converter.
If this is done the measured voltage for cell 2 will be zero
and the measured voltage for cell 3 will be the sum of
both cell voltages. For a good connection this small
currents will have no effect. So an open circuit can be
detected.

assemblies
high scalability from a few up to several hundred channels
time-synchronous processing of all inputs and outputs, even
across several units
signal conditioning, digitisation and measurement value processing in one assembly
power consumption can be reduced by switching off channels that are not needed
customer-specific assemblies can be added
- Application examples
test bench technology: HIL systems, endurance testing, EOL test

rapid prototyping applications
- Customer benefits
low costs and small unit volume per channel combined with high performance
easy integration into existing measuring environments
low channel costs compared to solutions with conventional A/D cards and external signal conditioning (no
assembly and wiring effort)
fast and effective start-up
Concept description:
The MCM concept unites all kinds of different types of channel under a single communication and data processing
interface. Apart from measurement inputs and signal outputs, this also includes power drivers, load and switching
modules.
In addition to the excellent electrical properties of the individual channels, the integrated signal conditioning, time-
synchronous operation of all IOs and an extremely compact design were important design criteria.
Due to the modular system, the number of channels and channel type are highly scalable. MCM units can there-fore be
precisely matched to individual
applications. Thanks to
decentralised data prepro-
cessing, no powerful and
there-fore, no expensive
control unit is required. This
makes MCM interesting for
applications with a small
number of channels too.
In addition, trigger
mechanisms on the hardware
side in conjunction with the
generation of timestamps
enable synchronous operation
of several MCM units. Even
applications with several
hundred channels are no
problem.

1.6.4 MCM-U08All voltage measurement
Description:
The MCM-U08AII has an individual ADC, including associated voltage reference, available per channel. The supply and
data transmission of the channel is carried out via a separate insulated path.
This design guarantees completely time-synchronised acquisition and complete galvanic decoupling of all channels. In
addition, it permits maximum flexibility in the use of the measurement channels and effectively prevents mutual
interference. Each channel also possesses an individual measurement range switching circuit, automatic contact
interruption detection and a protection circuit that effectively intercepts dangerous voltage peaks.
Review:
time-synchronised data acquisition on all measurement channels
full galvanic decoupling of each individual measurement channel
cascadeable to multichannel units
DC voltage measurements up to 100 V
measurement resolutions <100 V
individual channel measurement range selection

1.7.1 - 1.7.5 Gas Monitoring
1.7.1 AP29 - Sampling Probe
Description:
AP29 is an accessory to Hydrogen leak Detector
H2000 PLUS, which allows you to do automatic leak
testing. Controlled by the H2000 PLUS, it draws a
well-defined sample of air and passes it over the
built-in hydrogen sensor. It also handles automatic
calibration of your leak test system.
The sampling probe has an automatic purging
function which can be activated before and after
sampling, and when the gas concentration exceeds a
set limit. It can therefore encounter gross leaks and
still be cleared within seconds. Together with the
unique properties of hydrogen gas this feature gives
an unprecedented reliability of your system. AP29 is
built for heavy-duty applications.
Its rugged design and serviceability makes it ideal for use in tough industrial environments. The sensor element can
be replaced without opening the probe, and the sniffer flow is drawn by a venturi pump, in order to keep pump
maintenance at a minimum. The unit can be ordered with two different sniffer flows, 1 cc/s or 3 cc/s.
AP29 keeps track of the sniffer flow and sends an alarm to the H2000 PLUS if the sniffer flow begins to drop. AP29 is
fully controlled by an APC software driver, which you easily install in your H2000 PLUS leak detector. The sampling
parameters are then set from the dispay of the H2000 PLUS. The sampling probe is fully compatible with Leak
Detection System ILS500 via the APC bus system.
Technical Data:
Sensitivity: max. 10
-5
standard cc/s (when using 5 % hydrogen tracer gas)
Supplies: compressed air 4,5 - 7,0 barg (65 - 100 psig); electrical supply (24 V) from the
H2000 PLUS leak detector
Temperature range: 0 - 50 C (32 - 122 F)
Dimensions: 3,5 x 6,4 x 10,2 inches; 90 x 161 x 260 mm
Weight: 4,0 kg (9 lbs)
1. Accumulation Chamber Test:
Pressurise a test object with hydrogen/nitrogen tracer gas and place it in a
chamber in which the air is circulated by a fan. Any hydrogen leaking from the
object will stay within the chamber and the concentration builds up in
proportion to the leak rate. The fan ensures a homogeneous concentration
irrespective of the location of the leak. Controlled by the APC software,
installed in Hydrogen Leak Detector H2000 PLUS, AP29 allows a certain time
(the accumulation time) before it draws a sample from the chamber and
analyses the hydrogen concentration. Directly thereafter it purges the
sampling hose and is ready for a new test. If the concentration exceeds the set
reject level the H2000 PLUS will give an alarm output. In case of a gross leak,
AP29 interrupts the cycle, gives an alarm and purges the sample input. The
combination of H2000 PLUS and AP29 does automatic recalibrations in regular
intervals, or upon command.
2. Clamp Shell Test:
Pressurise a test object with hydrogen/nitrogen tracer gas and enclose a test
point on the object (a joint, valve, etc) with a clamp shell from which AP29
draws an air sample. The shell should be designed so that air passing through it collects any gas that may leak out
from the object. The gas concentration in the sample air is proportional to the leak rate. This method allows leaks
down to the grams/year level to be detected in seconds.
3. Monitoring Hydrogen Concentration:
There are many applications, besides leak testing, where hydrogen concentrations are to be monitored. AP29 allows
you to use the H2000 PLUS for monitoring hydrogen concentrations in the ppm range. For example, the equipment can
take a sample every minute (or more frequently), analyse it and record it.

1.7.2 Hydrogen Leak Detector ISH 2000
Description:
Miniscule leaks caused by material defects or failings in the manufacturing process create major and expensive
problems in industrial production. The fact that leak testing and leak detection in production can be quite a challenge
makes the situation even more complex. Since the introduction of the first leak detectors based on Sensistors unique
sensors - in combination with diluted hydrogen as tracer gas - everything has become much simpler. Adixen has
continued to develop spearhead technology in the field of leak detection and has converted this into revolutionary
methods and products that quickly contribute to improved productivity and profitability. The ISH 2000, the new
generation leak detector, is one of the results.
Features:
The principal component in the ISH 2000 is the fully electronic, ultra-sensitive hydrogen sensor. Together with diluted

1.7.3 Leak Detector 9012 XRS
Description:
The new Sensistor 9012 XRS Leak Detector constitutes a complete
field-based system based on proven hydrogen-gas detection
technology. It offers the most sensitive and flexible leak detection
system on the market in a heavy-duty, smart and ergonomically
designed package. The leak detector instrument is very easy to use,
and its rugged construction makes it close to maintenance-free.
The 9012 XRS is completely selective it only reacts to hydrogen gas,
which in very low concentrations is used as tracer gas. The Sensistor
has developed its own hydrogen gas sensor, which when combined
with advanced computing electronics results in an unsurpassed sensitivity threshold of an impressive 700 ppb (0,7
ppm).
This extreme level of sensitivity is necessary to quickly detect even the smallest leaks. However, to be able to detect
major leaks, it is a necessity to be able to decrease sensitivity. This is why the 9012 XRS features a sensitivity adjustor to
instantly adapt to any detection condition. The instrument instantaneously responds to the tracer gas, and additionally it
has a very short reset time to enable a new measurement to be performed immediately.
The 9012 XRS offers the broadest accessory programme on the market. It can be adapted to any leak detection job, no
matter how demanding. It is comfortable, quick and easy to use. When equipped with a suitable test probe, the 9012
XRS is the perfect instrument to detect leaks, no matter how small or large.

the sensor enables to operate the device self regulating. I.e. the set point concentration of water vapor or a reagent
component will be achieved automatically.
HovaCAL 211 MF is equipped with two gas channels to dilute dry span gas for linearity check of CEMs. Further the
device is able to humidify span gas to check cross sensitivity of analyzers or do efficiency test of gas coolers.
HovaCAL 211 digital MF can be operated manual by the integrated touch screen or remote controlled by PC or notebook
with the software viewCAL. ViewCAL allows the data logging of concentrations and flow during the calibration
procedure.
viewCAL enables the calibration of each gas flow controller and the liquid flow sensor. The characteristic of the flow
controllers will be fitted by means of a polynomial (3rd order) function), which increases the accuracy enormously. This
can be done as a part of the internal quality assurance or to expand the internal gas library corresponding to the users
demand.

Gas Monitoring
1.7.5 HOVAGAS Digital G4
Description:
HOVAGAS is a new concept for precise gas mixing. It combines the approved mass flow technology with up-to-date
micro-processor technology.
multi-point calibration of:
- continuous emissions monitors - ambient air monitors
- automotive exhaust emission analyzers - gas chromatographs
- process gas analyzers - mass spectrometers
- FTIRs
gas dilution
simulation of exhaust gas
gas supply for biological research
HOVAGAS can be combined easily with the calibration gas generator HOVACAL for humidifying span gas.
Thermal mass flow controllers (MFC) are able to measure and regulate the gas flow in a wide range independent of
temperature and the pressure of the gas. The operation principle is based on the measurement of the transport of heat
and therefore based on the measurement of mass flow.
The conception of the gas mixer HOVAGAS combines the advantages of mass flow controllers with an intelligent user
interface. This is a touch sensitive display (Touch-Screen) that permits manual operation.
The heart of HOVAGAS is the digital Gas Master Unit (GMU), a microprocessor, especially designed for the task of gas
mixing. Besides visualization and user dialog, the run-time software controls the mass flow.
Each single mass flow controller can be combined with any of the others and can be selected as the balance or carrier
gas controller. The GMU calculates and regulates the necessary mass flows of each component on the base of the
desired concentrations and the total flow.
In the flow mode, the user enters the target flow rate for each gas component and the actual flow rates are dis-played
as a volume flow, based on standard conditions.
The internal gas library enables the user to take the gas specific properties into account. The characteristic of each
mass flow controller can be fitted by means of a polynomial (3rd order) function, which increases the accuracy
enormously. In the calibration mode, the user is able to calibrate each mass flow controller with a desired gas
component using a reference device and store the calibration data as a set of polynomial coefficients.
HOVAGAS permits remote operation by an external PC via RS232 serial data interface with the Windows-Software
viewGAS. On the PC screen viewGAS shows the HOVAGAS device as a flow chart. All functions of HOVAGAS can be
operated by entering the desired values. User specific configurations and the readings can be stored in a file. The
automatic mode permits unattended automatic operation via time-dependent concentration scripts. These scripts can
be stored in the library of the device which opens up the possibility of creating recipes for the stand alone operation.

1.8.1 - 1.8.2 Conductivity Measurement
1.8.1 Conductivity Cell MK3
Description:
The measurement of the proton conductivity is one of the
important methods to investigate the performance of membranes
for PEMFC technology. To allow a reproducible measurement of
the proton conductivity under real conditions it is necessary to
operate the measuring cell under defined humidification and
temperatures up to 180 C. The measuring device MK 3 offers a
high reproducible measurement of the proton conductivity under
the different operation conditions of LT-, MT- and HT-PEMFC
systems. The membrane sample with a typical geometry of
1,5 x 4,5 cm can easily fixed into the 4-electrode measuring head
for the in-plane measurement. The MK 3 is equipped with an
integrated water reservoir and heat cartridges, which are exactly controlled by a coupled heat controller to adjust the
humidification state thermodynamical. Optional the MK 3 can easily added with an humidity sensor to gain a
supplemental tool for the control of the humidification conditions during the measuring routine. Based on the high-
quality material, the excellent chemical stability of the electrodes and the cell surface, the new measuring cell MK 3
offers you a precious tool for your research and development.
Technical Benefits:
measurement of the proton conductivity under defined relative humidity
measurement up to a temperature of 200 C
4-electrode in-plane method (platinum electrodes)

Components of Conductivity Cell:
The Conductivity Cell is manufactured from PTFE (Teflon), which is chemically inert, seals well against the carbon
plates of the cell hardware, and has the ability to withstand higher temperatures (up to 120 C).
Provides a gas-tight environment (when assembled in the fuel cell test hardware) for better control of humidity,
pressure, and temperature of the membrane sample during test.
contains five ports:
- two for voltage measurement
- two for application of current
- one for insertion of a thermocouple near the membrane
PTFE clamps secure the membrane in the Conductivity Cell
Platinum wire carries voltage and current signals from the membrane to the controller
Platinum gauze serves as catalyst site
Description:
The Conductivity Cell is a fixture for loading a membrane sample into your fuel cell
hardware for performing four-electrode conductivity tests.
The Conductivity Cell, with the membrane sample loaded, fits between the anode and
cathode conduction plates of your fuel cell hardware, making use of the existing gas
flow paths of the cell hardware. Your cell hardware and test stand are used to control
the sample temperature and pressure as well as the incoming gas composition and
humidity level.
The advantage of the four-electrode conductivity measurement is the ability to
separate the following measurements:
voltage drop due to ion creation
voltage drop due to ion flow
By considering only voltage drops due to ion flow, accurate assessments of membrane
conductivity (and resistivity) can be made. The CdC-115 Conductivity Cell was designed
for use with ElectroChem fuel cell hardware (for 5 and 25 cm).

2.4 Labor Fuel Cell Stacks
Description:
We offer custom fuel cell stacks. Fuel cell stacks are multiple cells attached in series. The EFC50-CST custom stack is
designed for the researcher to be able to select the operating characteristics of the fuel cell stack. The user specifies
the number of cells, with a minimum of 7 MEAs (50 W) and a maximum of 30 MEAs (300 W). The stack design
incorporates the same 50 cm active area, identical to those of the 50 W stack. The total power output may vary based
upon the environment (temperature, humidification, etc.) of the stack.
ElectroChems fuel cell stack is designed for ease of use and reliability. This unit will give you years of trouble free
operation. The fuel cell stacks can operate without external humidification at pressures up to 3 atmospheres of H
2
and
O

2.5 Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell
Description:
The phosphoric acid fuel cell uses a liquid phosphoric acid electrolyte in
a silicone carbide matrix to carry hydrogen ions from the anode to the
cathode. The operating temperature range is 100 - 200 C.
The fuel cells are designed for ease of use and many years of service.
Gas diffusion electrodes (ordered separately) are held in place between
graphite cellblocks. Flow fields machined into the blocks allow for the
flow of reactants and provide excellent electrical contact to the
Membrane Electrode Assembly electrodes. Current is collected by
connection to copper contact plates; separate voltage connectors are
provided directly in the cellblocks for maximum accuracy in iR
measurement. Each unit includes resistive heaters and thermocouple
wells for accurate temperature control. The cell is equipped with a
reservoir for the continuous supply of phosphoric acid to electrodes.
Item and Price:
FC25-PA/EM Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell 3.124,-
Phosphoric Acid Electrode Matrix Assemblies
Since the electrolyte in a Phosphoric Acid fuel cell is a liquid, the solution must be soaked in a matrix so that
it can be contained in the fuel cell.
ElectroChems phosphoric acid matrix assemblies are designed to provide consistent and reproducible
performance. Wet-proofed carbon paper is used as a support for 10 wt. % Pt/C based electrodes. High purity
silicon carbide, SiC, is used as the matrix.

especially suitable for proof of concept studies in getting initial results
efficiently. The ElectroChem H-cell is suitable for using various
substrate, such as basal medium, M9 medium, other bacteria growth
medium, wastewater or organic liquid from nature, natural sea water
etc. The two chambers are connected in the middle with a big
aperture hole, which has the advantage of less mass transport
limitation in ion-exchange. Each chamber has multiple (3) openings to
provide flexibility in doing multiple tasks at the same time, such as
adding circulation pipes, culture injection and gas purging during the testing.

Electrolysis Cells
Description:
We offer various PEM electrolysers and cell stacks in a sturdy construction. In addition
to single cells with active areas from 20 to 80 cm also stacks up to 800 cm surface
are affered. At current densities up to 400 mA/cm electrolysers up to a power of 600
W are realised. All of our delivered cells and stacks are designed for long life under
industrial conditions. Another characteristic is the high pressure resistance of our
electrolysers. Generally, all systems designed, so that hydrogen pressure up to 20 bar
can be supplied. So these electrolysers are used in hydrogen supply of laboratories
and for continuous emission measurements. The titanium electrolysers meet the
highest demands on reliability, even under high load while achieving a long life time.
The anode, used in all models, is made from titanium, the cathode is made of
graphite, titanium and stainless steel. In the described systems, it is possible to work
permanently up to the thermal limitation of the membranes. Even frequent load
changes are easily coped. Cathode and anode plates work wear-free.

fumapem Membranes
Description:
In order for a fuel cell to work, a membrane is needed that will carry the hydrogen ions from the anode to the cathode
without passing the electrons that were removed from those atoms. In a PEM fuel cell, DuPonts Nafion material (a
solid polymer similar to Teflon) is used.
We offer DuPonts Nafion perfluorinated ion-exchange membranes. Standard size is 30 x 30 cm. Standard types are
below. The last digit represents the thickness in mils (thousandths of an inch, or 25,4 m) - Nafion 212 is 2 mils thick,
etc.
Description:
The fumapem is also a fluorinated polymer with sulfonic acid groups,
which are responsible for the proton transport. The fumapem, made
by fumatech, is in different thicknesses and equivalent weights
available. The first number in the part number ( 9 or 10) shows the
equivalent weight in 100 g/eq .
The last two numbers show the thickness of the membrane in

4.2 Electrodes
Description:
Anode and cathode electrodes for a fuel cell consist of catalyst loaded onto a gas diffusion backing. Gas diffuses
through the backing and is broken down by catalysis. Electrodes conduct current out of the cell. On the other end of the
membrane platinum is again used to bind the proton, electron, and an oxygen atom together to create water, ending
the reaction. ElectroChems gas diffusion electrodes are used in PAFC and PEM membrane electrode assemblies as
well as in different types of batteries. We use Platinum / Carbon catalyst with various loadings laminated to a
hydrophobic backing (graphite fiber paper or cloth is considered the best). Our standard electrode is made with
20 wt. % Pt/C catalyst on carbon paper.

4.4 MEAs
Description:
A membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is the heart of the fuel cell. In a MEA two electrodes sandwich a solid polymer
proton exchange membrane. On the anode side of the MEA, a fuel (hydrogen, methanol etc.) diffuses through the
membrane and is met on the cathode end by an oxidant (oxygen or air) which bonds with the fuel and receives the
electrons that were separated from the fuel. Catalysts on each side enable reactions and the membrane allows protons
to pass through while keeping the gases separate. In this way cell potential is maintained and current is drawn from the
cell producing electricity.
ElectroChem's membrane electrode assemblies are designed to provide consistent and reproducible performance.
Unless otherwise specified, hydrophobic carbon paper ist used as a support for a 20 wt. % Pt/C based electrode on a
Nafion 115 proton exchange membrane. Operating temperature is between 60 - 80 C.

4.5 Gas Distribution Layer
Description:
The carbon paper electrode backing that lies between the membrane and the graphite has multiple uses. It primarily
contains the platinum catalyst, which oxidizes the hydrogen atoms. It is also porous to gasses, allowing the hydrogen
ions and moisture to pass through to the membrane and it is electrically conductive, so that the electricity can be
conductive to the graphite plates and into the devices being powered by the fuel cell. Toray carbon paper, which can
be used as electrode backing. The carbon paper and carbon cloth can be supplied in either Teflon pretreated or
untreated form. The pretreated material is hydrophobic and can be directly used for electrode manufacturing.
Carbon Cloth based on weaved SPUN Carbon Fibers Technology
We offer the materials not only as raw materials but also hydrophobic. PTFE loadings
from 5 to 30 % are available. The third possibility is a Plasma treated surface. The
advantage of this nano-technology is that the material can be made hydrophobic
without any substantial change of the bulk properties. In this case the water handling
is facilitate, without altering compressibility, weight, thickness and consequently
conductivity and gas permeability.

4.6 Solutions and Emulsions
Description:
Nafion Solution, solution (a diluted, liquid form of the same chemical used for a PEM fuel cell membrane) drastically
reduces the amount of platinum needed as a catalyst by exposing a larger fraction of the platinum to the hydrogen gas.
Also, the Nafion acts as a binding agent to hold the platinum, membrane, and carbon paper together. Nafion
perfluorinated ion-exchange solution is in a mixture of lower aliphatic alcohols and water. Contains 15 - 20 % water.
Teflon, like the Nafion, acts as a binding agent and sometimes replaces the Nafion solution for that purpose
because it is less expensive. Also, coating the carbon paper with Teflon prevents the paper from being saturated by
liquid water, while still letting water vapor through the pores.

4.7 Catalysts
Description:
The fuel cell creates power by oxidizing a hydrogen atom into a proton and an electron on anode electrode and reduced
oxygen atom with proton on cathode. In a PEM fuel cell, Platinum is used as the catalyst. A direct methanol fuel cell
requires the addition of Ruthenium as a catalyst. It is used to promote the oxidation and redirection reactions.
Electro catalysts for fuel cell applications contain 10 % or 20 % Pt on VULCAN XC-72R carbon support. Typical electro-
chemical area (ECA) for 20 % Pt/C is 100 m/g. Typical ECA for 10 % Pt/C is 140 m/g.
Pt/Ru electro-catalysts carbon monoxide tolerant electro-catalyst for direct methanol fuel cell applications contains
20 % Pt and 10 % Ru (50 : 50 atomic ratio) on VULCAN XC-72R carbon support. 20 % Pt and 10 % Ru catalyst exhibits
better resistance to CO poisoning and it is well suited for direct methanol conversion fuel cells. The catalyst can also
be used in fuel cells operating in conjunction with gas reformers.
For more catalysts or quantities please inquire.

4.8 Graphite Plates
Description:
Attached to the electrode backings of a fuel cell stack on either side are large
graphite plates. These plates serve a double purpose. One purpose is to act as
a conductor by receiving the energy from the electrodes. Its other purpose is
to guide the flow of the hydrogen and oxygen through their respective ends of
the stack, making sure that the maximum amount of the gasses and moisture
comes in contact with the membrane. To prevent gasses from leaking out
through the normally porous graphite, the plates are constructed using a
much longer and more complex process that creates nonporous plates.

4.9 Gaskets
Description:
The components of the fuel cell do not in and of themselves make a good seal, so medical grade silicone gaskets
(having precise thicknesses for reproducible sealing) are used to create airtight seals between components. These are
the standard gaskets that are precision cut to fit ElectroChem fuel cells.
If you would rather we didn't cut them to our design, please let us know.

5.3 Swagelok Fittings
Description:
Swagelok tube fittings provide a leak proof, torque free seal at all tubing connections and eliminate costly, hazardous
leaks in instrumentation and process tubing. All the action in the fittings moves along the tube axially instead of with a
rotary motion. Since no torque is transmitted from the fitting to the tubing, there is no initial strain, which might
weaken the tubing.
Specification:
gaugeable tube and adaptor fitting easy to disconnect and retighten
available in tube sizes from
1
/
16
to 2 inches and 2 to 50 mm wide variety of materials and configurations
consistent gaugeability upon initial make up
Description:
While a PEM fuel cell will run at room temperature, it has maximum
efficiency at just below the boiling temperature of water (but not over,
otherwise the membrane will dry up, rendering it unable to carry protons).
Therefore, heaters are recommended for the test cells to run efficiently.
The silicone rubber heater is a small resistance heater pad that is
attached to either end of the fuel cell. The fire rod heater also a resistive
element that is inserted into a matching diameter hole in the graphite
plates.

9.1 Jupiter Independence
Description:
The Jupiter Independence design incorporates the unique scalability
concept of the Jupiter product family. Based on Jupiter
Independences standardized building blocks all subsystems can be
scaled to meet customer specific needs, that includes fuel cell,
electrolyzer, hydrogenstorage, water tank and enclosure.
In line with this approach the central controller intelligence has also
been expanded to manage different power, hydrogen supply and
storage combinations.The Jupiter Independence outdoor enclosure
is extendable side-by-side for larger system configurations and
meets IP55 requirements. The basic configuration holds fuel cell,
electrolyzer, energy management, hydrogen storage and water tank
- all in one housing. For extra protection against vandalism the
enclosure is optionally available in WK4 hardening (resistance class
4). This is required by the German Federal Agency for Information
Security (Bundesamt fr Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik/BSI)
for high security communication networks.
The installation effort is reduced to an absolute minimum as all
Jupiter Independence systems are delivered preassembled. Even for
larger system configurations the extendable side-by-side design
allows for minimum installation time.

9.4 Ulmer Stromschachtel
Electricity is available nearly everywhere and anytime. But still the
availability of a powerful and stable electric grid can not be guaranteed,
e.g. In lodges, on boats, in caravans. The assembling and the operation of
such grid-off power supply stations are also often very expensive. The fuel
cell technology offers a new possibility to supply such applications with
electricity, especially if there is a demand on low-noise, zero-emission
electricity production and maintainability.
Description:
This fuel cell system is controled by a microprocessor control unit, which takes care on all necessary conditions to
ensure an reliable use of the system.
Usually the fuel cell system is build as a hybrid system including a standard accumulator. This configuration
(electricity out of the fuel cell as well as out of the accumulator) results in higher dynamic behaviour, improved
reliability, but also in lower system costs. The fuel cell is designed for the base load and not for peak loads. This
results in a smaller fuel cell which is cost driver of such a system. Many
applications need much higher peak loads than average loads (e.g. starting
current at electric motors). The Stromschachtel provides 12 V DC or 24 V DC
and optionally 230 V AC with an permanent electrical power output of 1,2 kW
el
.
Peak loads can be covered depending on the type and size of accumulators.

9.5 10 kW-Fuel Cell Subsystem
Description:
The 10 kW fuel cell subsystem is the latest result of continuous system
optimization. Based on the BZ 560 fuel cell stack design. The main focus of this
system is to achieve a high overall efficiency by eliminating parasitic losses and
reduced system dimensions. Possible fuel options are pure hydrogen or reformate
gas. The nominal electrical output is 5 to 10 kWel, depending on application needs.
Compact system architecture with clearly arranged external interfaces allows an
easy integration of the system into different customer applications. Possible
applications are off grid power supplies, power supplies for mobile hybrid power
generators or as a cogeneration system to supply heat and electricity.

10. Methanol-Fuel Cell Systems
EFOY Pro Serie
Description:
Reliable energy when far away from the mains grid this is
provided by the EFOY Pro fuel cell. When used as part of off-
grid and mobile systems, the fuel cell automatically
charges batteries without user intervention 24 hours a
day and under all weather conditions.
The EFOY Pro was specially developed for professional daily
use.
Benefits at a glance:
100 % Reliability and Operating Safety: 100 % power availability thanks to hybrid operation of battery and fuel cell.
The battery is continuously monitored and recharged by the EFOY Pro fuel cell, for non-stop operation of your
application. The EFOY Pro will produce electricity in any weather, climate or season, from the desert to the Arctic Circle.
The high power reliability with EFOY Pro eliminates downtime costs.
Long Periods of Autonomy, Maintenance-free: EFOY Pro fuel cells supply maintenance free Off-grid power for
several months without any user intervention. EFOY Pro uses liquid methanol, a fuel with superior energy density. Ten
liters of methanol, weighing a mere 8,4 kg, generate 11,1 kilowatt hours. Two 28 liter fuel cartridges can power a 25
watt device for approx. 15 weeks.
Remote Monitoring: The EFOY Pro fuel cell can be remote monitored. It will inform the user in time when a fuel
cartridge has to be replaced, provide planning security, reduce administrative and maintenance costs by ensuring that
the system is running perfectly.
Lightweight and Compact: Weighing in at a mere 8 kg (17 lbs) and measuring 44 x 19 x 28 cm (17 x 7 x 11 in), the
EFOY Pro fits into any switch cabinet and is easily carried to remote sites.
Quiet and Emission-Free: The EFOY Pro produces no harmful emissions. In operation, it only emits carbon dioxide
and water in small quantities. Thanks its environmental friendliness it can be operated in nature preserves or inside
vehicles and rooms. EFOY Pro fuel cells are also suitable for covert power supply, working without detectable
vibrations, noise, exhaust or heat.
Connect it switch it on no worries
The EFOY Pro is an intelligent electricity generator. It is
directly connected to the battery supplying your power
consumers and automatically recharges it when
necessary. The user does not need to look after anything.
The user can use the remote monitoring to check that the
fuel cell is working properly. The electricity generation is
very efficient, quiet and maintenance-free because the
process has no moving parts.
100 % availability weather independent
A perfect solution for ensuring 100% availability is to use
the EFOY Pro as a backup system in a solar power station.
The fuel cell automatically comes into operation as soon
as the solar system is not able to provide enough power.
This allows expensive solar systems to be of smaller
dimensions and greatly increases the reliability of the
system as a whole.

Description of interface software:
The unit works fully autonomous and aquires the measurement values with maximum speed. Measured values are
stored inside the unit.
Sending the ASCI character [S] (call for data) causes the transmission of the measured values via RS232 interface from
the unit to the controller or PC. They are formatted as follows (all ASCI characters):
[s] (start of data sequence)
value of cell 1
value of next cell
up to value of last cell
lowest value 1
cell number of lowest value 1
up to lowest value 3
cell number of lowest value 3
total voltage value
CR/LF (end of data sequence)
The measurement unit of the transmitted values is mV. Separation of values by semicolon [;], start of sequence [s],
end of sequence [CR/LF]. The cell to be measured is assigned by transmitting [Z+numeric digit(s)+CR/LF]. Command
confirmed output of [z;>Number<].
Notice:
LENA-PRO system will put out following string after initialisation on power-up:
[LENA M8.64.2] [CR/LF] [z;64] [CR/LF]
M8.64.2 denominates software version of unit, [z;64] denominates number of cells where 64 will take the value of cells
actually measured.
This string will also be put out upon changing cell number in order to confirm change command. A RESET will be
initialised through the integrated watchdog-timer. The timer has been set at a default value of 1 second and is reset
interally after each cycle.
In the event that instead of [S] (call for data) or [Z] (change of cell number) a different character is transmitted, it will
provoke the watchdog-timer to immediately proceed with a RESET. The change of number must be transmitted in the
sequence shown above within one second. Otherwise the watchdog-timer will proceed with a RESET.

13. Assembly and Test Technology for Fuel Cell Stacks
Assembly Unit for Fuel Cell Stacks with integrated
Test Technology
Description:
The assembly station guarantees for a proper stacking and alignment of
individual parts and components (BPP, MEA etc.) to a fuel cell stack.
During the stack building process, "in-process" quality-related
parameters are tested and evaluated. While doing so, not only an early
influence on the stacking itself is given but also on previous production
processes resulting in a considerable reduction of the reject rate and
thus in an increase in productivity.
After completion of the stacking process, the stack is pressed in and
properly screwed based on a particular technology applied for patent
ensuring that the stack is homogeneously tensioned. This is owed to
a screwing process especially developed for stack screwing
eliminating all parasitic influences occurring from undefined friction
effects between springs, nuts, disks and tie rods as well as unilaterally
occurring tolerance summations. Moreover dimensional variations of
materials and part components in production can be tolerated resulting
directly in a better usability with positive effects on production costs.
During final inspection the complete stack is checked with regard to
leakage, impedance and isolation.
Advantage:
controlled stacking increase in stack life
low woker influence increase in tolerance
early fault detection short assembly time
increase in stack quality low capital commitment
increase in stack performance
w Cost Reduction
Possible functions provided by the assembly station:
stacking
pressing
screwing
final assembly
test processes
Possible tests provided by the assembly station:
leakage test
impedance test
isolation test
geometrical test
Assembly station's execution:
As far as geometric dimensions and automatization degree are
concerned, the assembly station is scalable according to the
individual requirements.
It can be designed as
w manual
w semi-automatic
w fully-automatic
station.
As a matter of course, the manual station will "grow" depending
on the requirements, i.e. low investment for the basic equipment
at the beginning and hence low capital commitment during ramp-
up phase.

5
-type alloys
and unique techniques of alloy loading the HB-SCF-0010-Q is one the most
advanced hydrogen storage system. The HB-SCF-0010-Q can safely store hydrogen
in the solid state and release it steadily at ambient temperature without additional
energy source - an important issue for fuel cell application. The enhanced discharge
gas flow rates of the HB-SCF-0010-Q make it a highly competitive gas supply
source for various PEM fuel cells (up to 5 W).
At present, this type of storage is considered as safest one. Even gunshot tests with fully hydrogen charged tanks do not
result in any combustible reaction, which clearly demonstrates the safety level of the product. Unlike the high-pressure
hydrogen cylinders, here hydrogen is bonded with the alloy chemically. So, it will take hours, before the system will
release it fully in event of gas leakage caused by systems damage. The system life cycle is incredibly long our storage
is able to pass few thousand charge/discharge cycles without any essential changes in working technical
characteristics.
While charge with only 99,99 % purity hydrogen the HB-SCF-0010-Q is capable to provide high purity hydrogen (over
99,9999 %). It makes HB-SCF-0010-Q an ideal pure hydrogen source for Fuel Cell systems, that is in addition easy to
use and very safe.

This model was designed
specifi cally for extended, un-
supervised operation. Its
striking appearance imme-
diately draws visitors in. A solar
module provides electricity to
run the models PEM electro-
lyser. Viewers can watch the
reactions taking place inside
the transparent cells, observe
the gases being created, and
marvel at how the energy is
stored - in elegant columns of
water encased in acrylic glass.

power a fuel cell, which
converts the two gases back
into water, generating heat and
electricity, which in turn powers
an electric load. Altogether, this

Bio Energy Kit
Description:
Introducing a new power technology using mostly water and drops of
ethanol. This innovation could soon charge our portable electronics,
and all kinds of remote devices. The Bio Energy Educational and
Discovery Kit is the first product of its kind, and gives us a close-up view
of the possibilities.
The new direct ethanol fuel cell is comprised of a small chamber within
which the ethanol solution mix (90% water, 10% ethanol, similar to wine
in alcohol content) is in contact with the cells membrane on the anode
side, while the cathode is open to the ambient air.
Electricity is produced as the wine-like solution slowly turns to vinegar
until the solution is converted 100%. Once this process is completed, a
purge mechanism allows "fresh" ethanol to flow into the reaction
chamber, simultaneously expelling the used fuel.
Experiment set and desktop fan able to run 8 - 12 hours with a few drops
of ethanol. It is possible to experiment with any kind of alcohol solution
between 10 - 15%. Manual included for set up an experiments.
