The test bench enables long-term testing of PEM electrolysis stacks for up to 5,000 operating hours. Stacks with a power output of up to 40 kilowatts at a maximum of 2,000 amperes and 20 volt can be tested. Operating conditions of up to 90 degrees Celsius and 36 bar allow for realistic testing under demanding pressure and temperature conditions.
The facility is now available for testing assignments as well as for research and development projects. Initial tests for customers and project partners are already underway. Among other things, the facility can be used to investigate the performance, efficiency, aging, degradation, and long-term stability of PEM electrolysis stacks and their components.
