Ecosense supplied an AEM Electrolyzer Characterization System to the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at IIT Delhi, supporting advanced research and experimental studies in hydrogen production and electrochemical energy systems.
The system is designed as a flexible research platform for studying AEM electrolyzer performance under different operating conditions and understanding how key operating parameters influence hydrogen generation, efficiency, electrical characteristics, thermal behavior, and overall electrolyzer performance.
The characterization system provides researchers with an integrated environment to investigate the behavior of AEM electrolyzer cells and stacks. Multiple cells can be individually addressed or operated together, allowing experiments to be performed at different levels of the electrolyzer configuration.
This flexibility enables researchers to study the effect of variables such as:
These variables can be studied individually or in combination to understand their influence on electrolyzer performance.
The system can support a range of experimental investigations related to AEM electrolyzer development, including:
Researchers can perform current-voltage characterization of individual cells and stacks to study polarization behavior, operating regions, and electrochemical performance. The system supports controlled electrical operation and experimental data logging for detailed analysis.
The integrated electrolyte circulation and heating arrangement allows researchers to investigate how temperature and electrolyte operating conditions affect electrolyzer behavior and hydrogen production.
The system can be configured for operation with individual cells as well as multiple cells, making it suitable for investigating the transition from individual-cell behavior to stack-level performance.
Hydrogen generation can be monitored together with gas flow and pressure parameters, allowing researchers to correlate operating conditions with hydrogen production performance.
Individual cell temperature monitoring combined with controlled electrolyte heating and circulation provides a platform for studying thermal behavior and temperature-related performance variations.
The system can be used for research into AEM electrolysis, including electrochemical kinetics, overpotential, mass-transport effects, stack engineering, and comparison of AEM and other electrolyzer technologies.
The AEM Electrolyzer Characterization System provides IIT Delhi researchers with a dedicated experimental platform for investigating the relationship between electrical operation, thermal conditions, electrolyte behavior, gas production, and electrolyzer performance.
Its combination of configurable cell operation, controlled operating conditions, integrated instrumentation, data acquisition, and safety features makes it suitable for both fundamental studies and advanced research into next-generation hydrogen production technologies.
Ecosense develops specialized experimental systems for universities, research institutions, and laboratories working in renewable energy, hydrogen, electric mobility, and energy storage. The AEM Electrolyzer Characterization System supplied to IIT Delhi adds another advanced research platform to this ecosystem, enabling researchers to investigate and characterize emerging electrolyzer technologies through controlled laboratory experimentation.
