Abstract

A test system for characterizing solid oxide cells includes at least one gas control unit, at least one fuel gas mixture line, at least one hydrogen gas line, and at least one oxygen gas line. The at least one gas control unit includes at least three stack layers, and at least one hydration unit to humidify the uniform gas mixture. The hydration unit is disposed in a hydration layer of the at least three stack layers. At least one mixing chamber is directly connected in a gas-conductive manner to the fuel gas mixture line and the hydration unit, and is configured for producing the uniform gas mixture and is disposed in a mixing layer of the at least three stack layers. At least one test station for a solid oxide cell is disposed on a test layer of the at least three stack layers.
