Why Fuel Cell

1. Start up
2. Conducting measurements

1. This experiment provides

an introduction to the
training system and
describes the setup and
starting procedures.
2. This experiment
introduces the virtual
measuring instruments
and describes how they
can be used to measure
current, voltage and
power.

influence of electrolysis
current and time on the
quantity of produced
gas.
1. In this experiment, we will
determine the leakage rate
of the storage and hose
system employed in this
UniTrain-I course.
2. In this experiment, we will

investigate Faraday's 1st

law using a fuel cell, and
examine the influence of
electrolysis current and time
on gas consumption.

Fuel cell
characteristics

1. Characacteristic of a parallel
connection
2. Characacteristic of a series
connection

The stack on this board contains

two fuel cells which can be
connected in series or parallel. In
this experiment, we will examine
the electrical properties of two fuel
cells connected in parallel, and
record the results as characteristic
curves.

and fuel cell are involved
here, we must first
determine the electrolyzer's
efficiency.

1. In this experiment, we will

assemble an autonomous
energy supply unit and then
analyze its internal
consumption.
2. In this experiment, we will
determine a system's

3. In this experiment, we will
determine the efficiencies of
the fuel cell and internal
energy supply (system). This
will serve as a basis for
calculating and analyzing
