A station includes two education sets of H-tec. They are T103 and U102, which allow a wide range of experiments. The main parts of these sets are an electrolyzer and a fuel cell. The entire station is working with a small voltage to 5V ( U102 set) and about 2V ( T102 set). Sets can be powered by a laboratory source, or using small photovoltaic cells, which are also included. A monitoring card is used for the total monitoring, which allows a real time monitoring of all models including every cell in a stack. From the measured data we can calculate the efficiency and electrical properties of both the fuel cell and the electrolyzer.
Experiments possible with our sets:
- Building a fuel cell stack up to ten cells
- Producing and storing hydrogen
- Determining characteristic curve of solar panel
- Voltage-controlled automatic measurements
- Determining characteristic curve of electrolyser
- Determining electrolyser efficiency
- Learning about Faraday‘s laws
- Determining characteristic curves of fuel cell
- Determining fuel cell efficiency
- Determining decomposition voltage of water
- Long-term measurements at your own PC
- Fixing the output at different operating points of the fuel cell stack
- Monitoring single cell stack voltages at your PC
- Power-controlled automatic measurements
- Using methanol to generate electricity
