Measuring the current and temperature distribution across the membrane surface visualizes flooding and drying effects, gas undersupply, compression effects on the cell, thermal hot spots, and other phenomena. These measurements provide a decisive advantage in making aging effects visible in different membrane regions and in influencing homogeneous current production and distribution through operational control.

Further optimization opportunities for cell performance arise from the characterization of bipolar plates, gaskets, and other components. Their impact on the cell’s effectiveness can be evaluated very well through comparative measurements.

DILICO CURR TEMP custom therefore offers valuable insight into the interior of fuel cells, electrolyzers, and redox-flow batteries. Use this information to optimize operation and characterize your system. Depending on the membrane surface, the sensor layer, number of segments, and segment distribution can be individually adapted to your requirements to achieve optimal monitoring of current density and temperature distribution.
