Fuel Cell Bipolar Plate Contact Pressure Mapping

A fuel cell is a device that generates electrical energy by reacting hydro- gen with oxygen. In a fuel cell stack, the bipolar plates play a crucial role in not only conducting current, but also driving the reaction process between hydrogen and oxygen in an electrochemical reaction.

Install the hydrogen fuel cell stack on the platform of the pressure tester, insert the sensors and stack them on top of each other, make sure the connection is firm and well sealed, and then fix the screws. Observe the pressure distribution after applying 10000- 30000N pressure in the pressure tester.

Our membrane pressure measurement system can measure and feedback pressure data at each point in realtime, which is helpful for the development of next-generation fuel cells and can also be used as a powerful verification tool for detailed finite element models.
