Description Technical Details

Labtronic offers a cutting-edge solution with LT-REE830, featuring a polymer-membrane fuel cell as its main component for combined heat and power generation. Unlike heat engines, fuel cells in this system directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy, generating heat as a by-product. The fuel cell operates with high-purity hydrogen from an anode-side pressure vessel and oxygen from the ambient air on the cathode side. It can function in current-regulated or voltage-regulated modes through an integrated electronic load, allowing precise adjustments of operating points and accurate characteristic recordings. The system efficiently dissipates technically usable thermal energy into the environment via a cooling circuit, and accumulated water is managed through a water separator. In dead-end mode, excess water is expelled through a configurable purge valve for hydrogen. The PC-operated system receives auxiliary energy from the mains for pump, fan, and control operations.
