1kWe SOFC stack incorporating MICROX sensors at MTEC, Thailand
SOFC
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) offer clean, high efficiency, silent power generation and promise to play a key role in the emerging hydrogen economy. Hydrogen and oxygen measurement is vital at the R&D stage, and for monitoring SOFC stack performance. EMC’s MICROX range of sensors are ideally suited to SOFC applications. Examples include:
 |
Cathode oxygen supply monitoring |
| |
Monitoring of internal hydrogen reforming |
|
Fuel utilisation measurement |
MICROX sensors are as easy to deploy as a standard metal sheathed thermocouple:
|
Small diameter (~3mm) allows mounting where space is a |
| premium | |
| |
Metal sheath can be bent allowing measurement in hard to reach |
| areas | |
|
Good impact resistance |
|
Affordable |
|
Standard lengths: 0.25m, 0.5m, 1m (others available on request) |
|
Available as MICROX H (hydrogen sensor) and MICROX O (oxygen |
| sensor) |
