The PM5 fuel cell test station is designed for the development and research of PEM fuel cell stacks ranging from 0.25 to 5 kW. This station is capable of controlling the flow, pressure, temperature, and humidity of the anode, cathode, and cooling loops of a fuel cell stack. It simulates operational conditions and collects comprehensive data from the stack.
