BSI | 2017 | 78 |
This document covers cell assemblies, test station setup, measuring instruments and measuring methods, performance test methods, and test reports for PEFC single cells.
This document is used for evaluating:
-
the performance of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for PEFCs in a single cell configuration;
-
materials or structures of PEFCs in a single cell configuration; or,
-
the influence of impurities in fuel and/or in air on the fuel cell performance.
