Hydrogen Laboratory

As part of their academic studies, students have the opportunity to adopt a holistic approach to hydrogen in the designated hydrogen laboratory. This approach encompasses the electrochemical production and thermal utilisation of hydrogen, along with an examination of the technical challenges involved in these processes.

Description

In this experimental setup, students are instructed to learn about hydrogen production and utilisation systems. They are then tasked with balancing the overall system for different operating states by measuring temperatures, mass flows and the electrical energy used.
In a subsequent stage of the experiment, water vapour is introduced to the hydrogen prior to combustion in order to reduce the combustion temperatures. Alongside analysing the combustion temperatures at varying vapour contents, the nitrogen oxide emissions are also measured so that a correlation between their concentration and the temperatures can be derived.
