Electrolysis stack test systems
Safe and flexible testing of electrolysis stacks under precisely reproducible operating and environmental conditions.
To operate a full electrolysis stack on the test bed, the highly pure water flows over the anode and an electrical current is introduced to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
The parameters for demineralized water, electrical power and anode/cathode pressure required for operation are controlled in a precise yet highly dynamic manner. The control concept used for this is configurable. Use of the most modern safety technology enables unmanned 24/7 operation. The basis for this is provided by the development of a comprehensive safety concept, consisting of aspects such as the observation of the specimen and the test procedure, ex-zone classification, and design of the safety equipment from a safety technology perspective along with the development of precautionary measures for the installation site.
