Mechanical & electrical workshop; Chemical laboratory; Fuel cell laboratory; Reforming test rig; Burning chamber with chimney (up to 1,2 MW); Central heat sink (water re-cooling system up to 5 MW); Several (mobile ) heat sink & heat source systems; Climatic chamber (-20 to +40°C); Vehicle air-conditioning test bench; Absorption heat pump system
All fuel cell types can be investigated in the fuel cell laboratory. Priority is given to SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cells). There are several test benches for single cells (up to 10 x 10 cm²) and stacks. Entire SOFC systems with all components (reformer, heater, furnace, etc.) can also be tested. An efficient gas supply and high-performance gas measurement technology (GA, FTIR, GC) are available for all relevant gas components. Extensive detection methods for fuel cells (such as THDA, impedance spectroscopes, etc.) are also available.
