Fuel Cell and Fuel Processing Components, Materials and Know-how, Delivered

Compact Heat Exchanger & Reactor Platform for High Temperature Systems Produced using low cost and imminently scalable methods, the HEP™ platform can exchange 500 W to 2.5 kW, up to 900°C. This uniquely available gas and/or liquid heat exchanger is for both development and manufacturing.		5 Cell Educational Fuel Cell Kit An unassembled Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell kit is a great starting point for any one that wants to learn about fuel cells. To get ready for the holiday season the price of the TekStak has been cut in half to $150.		*NEW* SOFC Interconnects and Current Collectors Responding to your request for more stack development products, we have added SS430 interconnect sheets and a wide variety of Current Collector Meshes to compliment our Crofer22APU products and current collector inks.
Fixture for Single-Dual SOFC Tests The 5x5 cm2 test fixtures are designed to measure materials and seal properties on a larger scale, bridging the gap between button cells and engineering test fixtures. With common cell sizes and easy-to-use design, this test fixture shows promise for become an international standard. It can be purchased in a wide range of configurations, from bare fixtures to fully packaged with specially designed furnace.		White Paper on Choosing an SOFC Test Fixture Go to our White Papers page (under About Us) or click the link above for helpful hints on choosing your next SOFC test fixture.		*NEW* Custom Furnace This specially designed furnace has adjustable compression loading to give you the optimal sealing characteristics for both the 28 cm2 and 5x5 cm2 test fixtures. The only difference between these is the lid, so you can leverage your investment in the furnace for both test fixtures. Available in 100/110V and 208/230V versions with temperature control and overtemp safety cutoff.

fuelcellmaterials.com named Global Distribution Partner for Catacel's HEP™ Line of High Temperature Heat Exchangers
The HEP is a cost-effective, foil-based module made of high temperature materials throughout. It can be configured for heat exchange or catalytic reactor applications with an upper use temperature of 900°C. The key advantages are the simple yet effective fabrication methods, the light weight, adaptability to space constraints, scalability from 500 W to 50 kW, and the use of various foil inserts for adapting the HEP to customer requirements without reformatting the basic platform. Additionally, by using catalyst coated inserts the HEP can be used for combined heat transfer/catalysis applications in all types of fuel cells.

Materials Development for SOFC, Catalysts, and other High Temperature Products
The Probostat™ high temperature electrochemical test fixture is ideal for SOFC and much more, including surface and bulk conductivity, high performance AC impedance, and Seebeck thermoelectric effect. Benefits of the device include user-friendly sample mounting, electrical connection and sealing along with the ability to control gas atmospheres on both sides of SOFC disks and other membranes. So easy to use, the Probostat pays for itself in time and development cost savings.

Stack Engineering
Of course cell materials are only one part of the equation. Connecting cells to each other requires understanding of seals, interconnect materials and schemes and the effects of fuel and air on the cells in situ. The 28 cm² test fixture offers a solid, yet cost-effective step-up from the button cell size test. Designed with flow patterns to ensure constant flow across the width of the sample, and a large landing face for sealing cells, you can rely upon the fixture for reproducible sample mounting and operating conditions. The main body of the fixture is fabricated from Crofer22APU, one of the most reliable high temperature steels for SOFC operations. Completing the 28cm² test fixture kit are the operations (seal) kit and re-usable interconnection kit, both of which are available for separate purchase.

Coming Soon
Keep an eye out for new products, including more test devices, systems, substrates and demonstrators.
