As a standardized testing solution for single-cell PEM fuel cells, the Evaluator PEM-FC provides a compact platform for precise testing across all relevant development phases. It enables the electrochemical characterization of single cells and their components, as well as performance and polarization analyses, long-term testing, and degradation testing under realistic operating conditions.

From Material Analysis to Lifetime Testing

The Evaluator PEM-FC supports key applications in PEM fuel cell research:

• Electrochemical characterization, such as EIS, CV, and LSV, for the analysis of materials, MEAs, and components
• Performance and polarization analyses for evaluating efficiency, power density, and loss mechanisms in single cells ranging from <25 cm² to 50 cm²
• Validation of standardized test protocols, such as JRC and DoE protocols, to ensure reproducible and comparable results
• Long-term and degradation testing to investigate stability and lifetime performance

Individually Configurable Parameters for Your Research Scenarios

In addition to standardized test procedures, the Evaluator PEM-FC also supports exploratory and application-oriented research scenarios:

• Investigation of gas transport and mass transport phenomena
• Targeted water and thermal management
• Dynamic and transient operating conditions
• Evaluation of new materials and components under varying operating conditions
• Defining the Optimal Configuration for Your Specific Requirements
