Developments of Applications with Fuel Cell

In the laboratory it is available a fuel cell generation system. This system is a Nexa Power Module manufactured by  Ballard. This stack is based on the PEM (Proton Exchange Mebrane) fuel cell.

The system has its own control system that manages the inlet working fluid, and the safe operation of the stack.

The main characteristics of the fuel cell stack are summarized in the following table.
