Abstract

An active test fuel cell characterizes and qualifies cell-internal components to establish technical data on the cell-internal components to be tested at low assembly costs, at a low error rate and with a high degree of reproducibility of the measuring results. The test fuel cell includes two housing plates. One of the housing plates is coupled to a piston/cylinder unit whose piston acts on a pressure element which in turn applies a load to the cell-internal components being tested.
