Technical interpretation

A fuel cell is an electrochemical generator that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, and achieves the effect of continuous discharge by continuously adding fuel. Hydrogen energy has now gradually shifted from key technology research and development to the stage of industrial development.




Hydrogen advantage

① Hydrogen is from a wide range of sources and is not constrained by resources

② The catalyst platinum consumption is low, and the platinum resource recovery rate is very high, the latest overseas research can reduce the platinum consumption to 0.06g/kW (about 7.06g/ vehicle)

③ Carbon peak/carbon neutral, two-carbon strategy, green hydrogen production

④  Fuel cells are safer than lithium batteries, and there is no risk of spontaneous combustion and explosion under normal operation






980Pro product features

1, 0V start, full current with load

In general, during the overload test process, the fuel cell generally runs the battery for a period of time specified by the battery manufacturer, or until the battery voltage is reduced to a value specified by the battery manufacturer. If we require the electronic load to start the test from low voltage or 0V, we will face the problem of high current load due to "0V start".

The "0V start" fuel cell test system can avoid the above problems, and can help us to maximize the VI characteristics of the battery. The 980Pro solves this major pain point.


2, reverse pole with load, automatic back pressure

Back pressure is the pressure regulation of the air entering the fuel cell system to supply the appropriate state of air (oxygen) for the cathode of the fuel cell, which directly affects the performance and efficiency of the fuel cell. Too high or too low back pressure will lead to large fluctuations in gas flow, which will harm the fuel cell system.

The automatic back pressure is controlled by computer software, which can control the test value very fine, with very high precision, and can maintain the continuity and stability of the back pressure for a long time, without human intervention factors, and the experimental data is more reproducible and more convincing.


3, gas ratio 0-100%

In the fuel cell system, hydrogen is used as a fuel supply and oxygen is used as an oxidizer to participate in the reaction, improving the efficiency and stability of the fuel cell - the role of "gas ratio" is prominent.

Safety: Study the composition of the gas discharged from the fuel system and the composition, quantity ratio and characteristics of the gas discharged from the air system.

Economy: Hydrogen utilization affects the reduction of commercial costs of hydrogen fuel cells. The analysis and test of hydrogen per hour consumption rate, oxygen per hour consumption rate, and air supply per hour are studied to explore efficient and energy-saving fuel control strategies.

Durability: Too high or too low gas pressure and flow will cause overall fluctuations and affect battery life. Analytical testing helps detect the durability of the fuel cell.
