DESCRIPTION:
This flow cell is intended for redox flow battery research and development. Alternatively it can be used an electrochemical flow cell for test of membrane properties or similar. It comes with either 6.25 cm2 or 25 cm2 active area. The design has focused on ease of use and fast assembly/disassembly making it ideal for research applications. The cell consists of two mirrored half-cells separated by a membrane. Through each half-cell electrolyte solution is circulated and the electrochemical reaction takes place in electrodes pressed against both sides of the membrane. The current passes through the current collectors and graphite blocks. There is no contact between metal parts and electrolyte solutions. The interdigitated flow field in the cell is optimized for RFB applications with minimum internal resistance. For specialized flow fields or carbon felt electrodes and other active areas please contact us.
One of the unique features is that the A-cell also can be connected the Differential Pressure Unit that will allow measurement of pressure loss over cell. Also it can be connected with Flow Through Electrode Holder for e.g. inline monitoring of pH, ORP, reference, conductivity or any other electrode. Signals from pressure sensors and electrodes can be recorded in AUX Unit, which combined form an extremely powerful tool for both optimisation studies or flow battery chemistry development.
CUSTOM MADE FLOW FIELDS
If you want custom made flow fields please send a drawing with the exact dimensions of the flow field, including depth. Also flow inlets from manifold can be custom made. The custom made area can be either 5 cm x 5 cm or 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm.
