LeanCat Laboratory Electrolyzer Cell
What is the LeanCat Laboratory Electrolyzer Cell?
The Laboratory Electrolyzer Cell is single-cell test hardware for MEA and porous-layer testing, suitable for PEM or AEM electrolysers. It can be pressurized up to 50 bar and offers a simple assembly and durable construction for repeatable, well-controlled measurements. Active area 5 cm² with Titanium Grade 1 bipolar plates.
How is the cell configured?
A compact, high-pressure single-cell platform:
- Single-cell testing of MEAs and porous transport layers
- PEM or AEM electrolysers
- Operating pressure up to 50 bar(g) on both H2 and O2
- Max temperature up to 180 °C
- Titanium Grade 1 bipolar plates (3 mm) with serpentine flow field
- G 1/8” gas connections
