Description
Full text: The PEM fuel cell performances (output power and reliability) are strongly influenced by a series of working parameters, as cell temperature, input fuel and pressure and humidity of oxidant gases. In order to enhance the fuel cell performances, the effects of all those parameters on the cell functioning must be assessed. A test stand for PEM fuel cells stacks of 1.5 kW maximum output power has been designed and built in our institute. It allows data acquisition and control of cells temperatures, fluids pressure, flow and humidity using adequate transducers, by means of a computer, based on LabVIEWTM software. The obtained experimental results were in good agreement with the model. (authors)
