PowerStation-CompuCell™
Get Started with Complete Control!
|
- Two Independent Gas Lines
- Highest Quality Humidification Capacity
- Automatic or Manual Operation
- A Decade of Product Refinement
The CompuCell™ gas management unit enables fuel
cell and electrochemical testing for PEM, alkaline,
and phosphoric acid fuel cells, providing capacity for
single cells and fuel cell stacks. Fully integrated
with the Power Station™, it allows total control
of input and output gas conditions for all your fuel
cell testing needs.
Key Features
- Precision automated gas supply, humidification
and effluent management.
- Convenient front panel access to manual controls,
and output and return gas fittings.
- Safety designed in through hardware features and
software control.
- Front panel bypass valve for humidified or dry
gas
switching
