The water-cooled fuel cell system enables a complete energetic balance of electricity and heat. The principle of power and heat co-generation can be learned in a realistic and transparent manner.
Areas of application:
Energy and process engineering
Power supply engineering
Electrical engineering
Realistic power and heat co-generation
The fuel cell stack in the HP600 is water cooled. The system has a closed cooling circuit. Therefore, it allows extremely diverse capabilities for experiments that analyze the combined generation of electricity and heat. From the thermal economy of the fuel cell to the energy balance of the overall system, the principles of power and heat co-generation can be illustrated in hands-on instruction.
Hybrid system with extensive features
With the HP600 training and experimenting system you can impressively demonstrate the principle of hybridization to your students. The inverter and battery make it possible to connect and operate diverse consumers – independent of the power output of the fuel cell system. The possibilities for interesting experiments with relevance for practical applications are therefore almost unlimited.
Diversity of application guaranteed
The HP600 teaching and experimenting system can be used in many ways – from teaching engineering principles to the functioning principle of a fuel cell system and advanced experiments and practicums dealing with energy and power supply engineering. The system concept allows you to adapt the level of the instruction to the level of the students' knowledge and the subject area.
Convenient visualization of measured values
The IT interface of the system and special analysis software enable computer-supported measuring of the most important system parameters. Temperatures, volume flow rates, voltage, current and power output can be visualized transparently and presented to a larger audience using a beamer.
Outstanding quality and safety
The HP600 features outstanding workmanship. The well-thought-out design of the system facilitates the experimenting process. In addition, the robust system can easily withstand the conditions of an instruction environment and is also easy to transport. Integrated safety technology ensures the safety of the system and users at all times.
