PEM Hydrogen Fuel Cell

CP5415

The PEM Hydrogen fuel cell teaching solution offers in depth studies of the PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell, also known as a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cell This type of fuel cell that converts chemical energy from hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy, with water and heat as byproducts.

Solar module, electrolyser, and fuel cell permit the assembling and examination of a solar-hydrogen cycle. Working principles, efficiency and characteristics curves of electrolyser and fuel cell are just some of the topics covered.

The system is supplied with multiple PEM fuel cells allowing both single and stack configuration.

A H2 Charger and H2 Storage are included in the kit allowing for the easy generation and storage of hydrogen..

Learning Objectives:

  • What an electrolyser does
  • Characteristics of an electrolyser
  • Hydrogen production with the H2 Charger
  • Hydrogen storage with the H2 Storage technology
  • Characteristics of a PEM-fuel cell
  • Characteristics of an Ethanol-fuel cell
  • Faraday and energy efficiency of the electrolyser
  • Faraday and energy efficiency of the PEM-fuel cell
  • Parallel and series connection of PEM-fuel cells
