Data from Experimental Analysis of the Performance and Load Cycling of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell
Abstract
:1. Summary
- Firstly, cell performance experiments, where the polarization curves were recorded for different operating conditions. All testing conditions were variations with respect to reference conditions representative of automotive applications. By doing this, the impact of different variations in the temperature of the cell, pressure of reactants, or cathode stoichiometry could be analyzed. The operating conditions tested are indicated in Table 1 [1]. For the cell performance experiments, most of the operating conditions were repeated three times in order to enable reproducibility of the experiments, as described in [1].
- Second, durability experiments, where an example of the application of load changes according to the New European Driving Cycle (once adapted to fuel cells as indicated in [2]) is provided. This data set contains data of the polarization curve at the beginning of the test and at the end of the test in order to assess the eventual cell degradation, which was discussed in Ramírez-Cruzado et al. [1].
