SOFC/SOEC Stack Evaluation Device

This SOFC/SOEC evaluation system consists of an electric furnace and gas supply system, equipped with a stack press that allows fine adjustment of the pressure holding the stack.
The electric furnace can handle a stack output of up to 9 kW, and the gas supply system can be combined with up to five gas supply sources other than hydrogen.
This is a highly reliable and low-cost evaluation system that can be flexibly customized to meet your needs. Measurement can be performed manually or automatically using dedicated software, and in combination with electrochemical measurement equipment, highly reliable characteristics can be measured efficiently.
Electronic loading devices, impedance measuring instruments, and various software are also available.

Features of this system
  • Stack output up to 9 kW
  • High reliability, compact design, low cost
  • Fully automatic operation with flexible automatic sequence programming
  • Suitable for cell and stack performance evaluation and long-term durability testing (flat and tubular types available)
  • Fine-tunable pressure stack press mechanism (flat type)
  • Combinable with various gas supply sources
  • Maximum operating temperature 1,000°C
  • SOFC/SOECスタック評価装置
Automatic sequence program
  • 自動シーケンスプログラム

SOFC/SOEC Coin Cell Evaluation Device

This evaluation device can be fitted with a SOFC single-cell jig for easy attachment and removal of coin cells.
Furthermore, it is a highly reliable and low-cost SOFC coin cell evaluation device with features such as quantitative adjustment of the contact pressure between the coin cell and current collector and fuel supply.

Features of this system
  • Corresponding cell size Φ15mm (15x15mm)~Φ50mm (50x50mm)
  • Single cell fixture gas supply piping: anode side: 1x gas supply, 1x gas exhaust, cathode side: 1x gas supply, 1x exhaust
  • Maximum operating temperature 1,050°C
  • Temperature increase rate 10°C/min(max)
  • Automatically controlled temperature profile by software
  • Single cell jig pressurization with adjustable load from 0 to 5 kgf (load resolution: 1 kgf)
  • Electric furnace lifting and lowering by air cylinder
  • High-precision flow control of gas supply system by mass flow controller (gas type can be customized to user's specifications; gas humidification system is bubbler type)
  • Automatic measurement of cell characteristics by electronic load, AC impedance meter, etc., and automatic control of electric furnace temperature, gas supply volume, etc., by PC
