LeanCat AirCell-HT Air-Pressed Test Cell
What is the LeanCat AirCell-HT?
The AirCell-HT is single-cell compression hardware for testing high-temperature PEM fuel cells and electrolysers. Instead of manual bolting, it uses a pressurized-gas compression system that applies a fully controlled, uniformly distributed tightening force — giving quick, reproducible measurements and high durability from a robust, clean design. Active area 4.8 cm²; compatible with H2, methanol and ethanol.
What operating conditions does the AirCell-HT support?
It is built for demanding high-temperature research:
- Operation up to 200 °C and 6 bar
- Monopolar plates in high-density graphite or titanium
- Gold-coated copper current collectors
- Stainless-steel base and upper plates
- 2 cartridge heaters and 2 thermocouples included
