FUEL CELL DURABILITY AND VALIDATION MODULE TEST STAND

A test stand for a fuel cell module includes a power supply system, a fuel supply system, an exhaust system, and a cooling system. The power supply system includes a direct current (DC) generated from a fuel cell stack, the DC powering a load electrically connected to the fuel cell module, the fuel cell stack responsive to receiving a fuel and generating an exhaust. The fuel supply system includes a mass flow meter and provides the fuel from a remote fuel source, through at least one adjustable reservoir, to the fuel cell stack at an adjustable pressure. The exhaust system includes a collection device and is operable to receive the exhaust from the fuel cell stack. The cooling system is operable to circulate a coolant and includes a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger in parallel with one another.
