Fuel Cell System Test
Test objectives:
- Voltage
- Current
- Hydrogen (H₂) flow rate
Components:
- Stack (Fuel Cell)
- Voltmeter
- Ammeter
- Hydrogen (H₂) tank
- Connection wires
- Resistor
- Fan
Pre test:
Step of hydrogen
Hydrogen preparation for use in a fuel cell system:
- First, an exothermic reaction is initiated, where hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with aluminum to produce hydrogen.
- Next, the chemistry lab was set up following all appropriate safety standards.
- The equipment used includes a water bottle connected to an Erlenmeyer flask via a tube. A small faucet is attached to the tube, with an uninflated balloon fixed to the end of the faucet.
- A measured amount of acid was poured into the Erlenmeyer, followed by the addition of aluminum pieces. The reaction quickly accelerated, causing the balloon to inflate as it filled with hydrogen.
Install Fuel Cell:
Component:
a)End plat
b) Gasket behind the end plate
c) Current plate
d) Graphite plate for H₂
e) MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly)
f) Gasket
g) Graphite Bipolar Plate
h) Graphite plate for O₂

Step Description
-System is off -The connection wires were connected -and the voltmeter as well as the ammeter were prepared. -Three resistors were used in place of a fuel cell stack, and the resistance (in ohms) was measured -Additionally, a fan was installed on the fuel cell system to use oxygen |
