It is equipped to characterise SOFC stacks fuelled with hydrogen and/or desulphurised natural gas. The test assembly includes a Catalytic Partial Oxidation (CPOx) fuel processor and an exhaust gas after-burner. An electric air preheating system is also included to guarantee a minimum inlet stack temperature of 650°C. Compo-nents have been selected to maximise the duration of uninterrupted long term tests in a laboratory environment. The appealing packaging of the unit gives it a product like look beyond the style of traditional research stations. The test bench can be operated with 1 to 6 stack modules containing 6 repeating units each. A control software is implemented under LabView environment and is based on an embedded industrial PC for control and data acquisition. PC and critical devices are protected by a proper UPS battery. The test bench has been designed to guarantee safe operation on the basis of hardware limit switches and safe valves. All components are integrated on a compact trolley. All 4 side-panels can be open to allow an easy access for maintenance and diagnostic operations.
