With our cell voltage monitoring products, you can optimize your fuel cell performance, detect errors and extend your fuel cell lifetime.
Cell voltage monitoring is crucial in many electrochemical and research applications to prevent damage of individual cells of fuel-cell stack, electrolyzers or battery, to monitor lifetime conditions and ensure optimal working conditions.
Cell voltage monitoring (CVM) is a technique that measures the individual cell voltages in a hydrogen fuel cell stack and provides valuable information about the state of health, performance and degradation of the cells. CVM can help detect and diagnose various faults and anomalies in the fuel cell system, such as gas starvation, flooding, membrane drying, catalyst poisoning, carbon corrosion and pinholes.
Discover our electronic technology measurement modules for fuel cell monitoring. Our CVM products can track the voltage of each cell in any fuel cell type, such as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM), solid oxide (SOFC) and alkaline (AFC). Boost the performance and lifetime of your hydrogen energy devices with our fast and reliable multipoint cell voltage monitoring for electrolyzers or fuel cell stack.
Whether you need to monitor a small or a large fuel cell stack, our products can adapt to your needs and provide you with the best solution. Our compact credit-card size modules are stackable up to 1280 cells or can be combined with other modules of the KMS system. This makes monitoring and management of fuel cells easy and efficient.
You can plug and play our CVM modules on the DIN rail and use communication buses like CAN bus and RS-485/XC2 to your final automation solution or you can integrate it with rapid development modules such as Raspberry Pi to build complex control and monitoring solutions. This gives you affordable control over your cell and positively affects the stability and life of your fuel cell.
Our solution supports both RS-485/Modbus and CAN interfaces, operating simultaneously for unparalleled flexibility and convenience. This means you can effortlessly connect your main control system via the CAN interface while simultaneously communicating with a computer through RS-485/Modbus. Ideal for R&D and support teams, our dual communication feature ensures you stay informed and in control of your fuel cell system at all times.
