leXsolar-H2 Ready-to-go 2.0

Function and Applications

The experiment set provides the complete bandwidth of current fuel cell technology. Solar module, electrolyzer, and fuel cell permit the assembling and examination of a solar-hydrogen cycle. Working principles, efficiency and characteristics curves of electrolyzer and fuel cell are just some of the topics covered. In addition to a PEM fuel cell an ethanol fuel cell is also included so that different technologies can be compared with one another. Hydrogen can also be produced and stored.

Benefits
