DESCRIPTION
The machine provides one station assembled on aluminium profile frames, covered by removable panels. It is mainly composed of a furnace, which main body slides horizontally in order to manually enclose the stack to be tested. Automatic closing (by pneumatic or electrical devices) is also feasible.
On the front, there is a small electric local box, that manages the measurement instruments installed in the bench.
In the rear part of the station, there are three separate inlet ports for the process gases: air, nitrogen, and hydrogen. The process circuits develop from these ports and the gases are preheated to the stack operating temperature. At the stack outlet, the exhausts gases are mixed with dilution air and conveyed to the chimney.
For safety purposes, a hydrogen detector is installed in the rear part of the bench, to potentially detect leaks from fittings and flanges.
The electric switchboard has a dedicated cabinet. Furthermore, the control cabinet accommodates the electronic load, the electrical device that allows it to perform the polarization curve.
A local HMI touch panel is integrated in the station for the visualization of the main parameters. A central industrial PC is integrated in the control cabinet for the communication with the PLC of the station and the data management.
The machine is provided by CE mark, according to the European norms, and by ATEX certification.
The station tests a SOFC stack with a nominal power of 1,5kW.
Test pressures, rejection thresholds and productivity that all our machines can reach may vary according to the technical specifications of the component and the production needs of the User.
BENEFITS
Evaluation of the quality of the product, stability, and yield of the production process.
Reliable detection of failed drives, reduction of the rejection rate and maximization of the output.
Certainty that stacks are produced according to appropriate specifications and standards.
Indication of when to start troubleshooting to reduce failure rates.
Experience gained in a significantly increasing new market segment to support other customers in the development of similar projects.
