TIRRON Test Stations

TIRRON GmbH offers new test stations for:

  • PEM, SOFC Fuelcells
  • PEM, AEM, Alkaline, SOFC Electrolysers
  • Fischer Tropsch
  • Custom Projects

Together with our strong partners, TIRRON builds new stations from 100 W Benchtop up to MW Systems.

We can integrate Zahner, Gamry or Kolibrik Impedance devices in our control system to make their testing methods available through our stations.

Based on Beckhoff plattform with it's common EtherCAT interface our control system allows easy integration of third party devices.

All TIRRON test stations are equipped with our unique, PLC native shutdown sequencer, allowing customers to implement custom DUT specific shutdown sequences, that will trigger and run independantly of the WIN based test station PC.

Our Python interface allows users to create advanced test protocols independant of TIRRON's CORSA Test Sequencer

SOFC Test Stations

TIRRON has build several 10 kW SOFC test stations and has long term experience in their controls, insulation, material selection, service and maintenance. Our equipment can be used as end of line tester, with a fixed sintering and qualification cycle and one central control system, or we can deliver the system with it's own control system and extended instrumentation for research purposes, together with a fully integrated Zahner impedance measurement

  • End of Line Testing
  • Sintering
  • 1000 degC Oven Temperature
  • Gas preheating up to 2000 nlpm
  • Fuelcell and/or Electrolyser Modes

10 kW SOFC sintering and qualification station

DI Booster NoBG

90 barg DI-Water Booster

DI-Water Booster

Our di-water booster can supply up to 90 barg of DI-water for one large or several smaller stations, replacing costly high pressure pumps for each station. Part of the booster is a piston storage vessel, that eliminates contact of any gases, that could disolve in the di-water. Resistivity is constantly monitored and other quaility control sensors can easily be added.
