These testing equipment
are for the fields of performance/evaluation tests of
fuel cells, and are applicable to from fundamental research
such as element research, material research and single-cell/module
research to practical application test. CHINO offers total
coordination from designing and manufacturing to engineering
works at site, adjustment and delivery such as gas supply,
moisturizing volume control, temperature control, data
measurement and automatic operation.

PEFC Single-Cell
Testing Equipment (Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell)
The equipment is power generating
test of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) consisted
of gas supply line, moisturizing line, cell performance
measuring line and safety line.
As it is small, lightweight and low temperature operation,
the start-up time is short and also has high energy output
density.
The equipment is applied to initial test and endurance
test of PEFCs which will be utilized in small sized industrial
uses, home uses, portable uses and in-vehicle uses.

Features
- Fuel utilizing ratio
constant control (with program function)
- Electric characteristics
can be checked by changing moisturizing volume.
- Constant current load
control can be done by using electronic load. (with
program function)
- The equipment can be
used as an initial testing equipment and an endurance
testing equipment.
- Safety functions like
as temperature independent dual safety

Gas supply line
It receives gas from 0.4MPa
to 1MPa and supplies it to a fuel cell. In addition, it
has a safety function to cut anode and cathode gas at
alarm activated and to automatically purge nitrogen gas
to the equipment and the fuel cell.
Moisturizing line
Moisturizing volume (moisturizing
temperature control) is an important item for cell performance.
The moisturizing unit in this equipment utilizes precision
temperature control system using resistance thermometer,
and is using techniques of high efficiency vapor-liquid
contact by SUS316L bubbler and protection of dew-condensation
after moisturizing.
The capacity of the moisturizing unit is 8-hour/day.
Liquid-crystal display unit is used to display cell information
of generated voltage and current and to set alarm information,
power generation start, etc. sequentially. In addition,
fuel utilizing ratio constant control (automatic settings
of anode and cathode gas flow proportioning to load current).
Safety line
For heater line, independent
dual safety function, high limit alarm of controller and
separate alarm unit, are built-in.
Safety operation are heater power supply turning off,
fuel cell/oxidizing reagent supply stopping, automatic
purging of nitrogen in each pole, and electronic load
unit [OA] for safety of equipment and cell..
