These test systems include gas mixing, humidification, pre-heating, furnace, heat recovery and water balance modules. Systems can operate on gaseous or liquid fuels. Operating temperatures range up to 1000°C and operating pressures may be controlled within 2 kPa even in low pressure / high flow applications. Systems come complete with a load bank and cell voltage monitoring system, and furnaces can be tailored for either planar or tubular cell configurations.

Systems can be designed to meet your specific requirements.

Features

• Conditioning of reformed gas at precise temperatures and pressures to simulate reaction products
