FuelCell Trainer

The Fuel Cell Trainer is ideal for teaching the basic engineering principles of PEM fuel cell systems. Extensive experimenting capabilities and comprehensive and revised instruction material with predefined experiments make it a complete instruction package.

All components of the fuel cell system are displayed individually. Integrated displays for operating parameters support the instruction. The Fuel Cell Trainer modularity allows to easily adapt the difficulty level. The system can be operated by inexperienced users. The included software enables computer aided measuring and experimentation.
