PowerStation-Ultima™ |
Multiply
the PowerStation™’s Capacity!
8 Additional Gas Lines for 4 More Fuel Cells! Highest
Quality Humidification Capacity! Automatic or Manual Operation!
| Product
Overview |
Key
Features |
 |
| The Ultima™ gas management
unit multiplies the power of the Power Station™
to enable fuel cell and electrochemical testing
to an efficient level. Designed for PEM, alkaline,
and phosphoric acid fuel cells, it provides added
capacity for 4 more single cells and fuel cell stacks.
For those faced with extensive fuel cell testing
requirements, there is no more advanced system,
and no safer system for unattended operation. Only
sold with the PS-Ultima™ System Controller.
