Electrolysis Testbench EL1 - M
GFS Testbench EL1-L – Industry-Grade Platform for Electrolysis Research
The EL1-L is a high-performance testing solution for the development and validation of PEM, AEM, and AEL electrolysis stacks up to 50 kW. It enables fully automated long-term operation, including dynamic load cycling, and delivers precise, reproducible test data.
With iron-free media and gas pathways and automatic media refilling, the system supports maintenance-free continuous operation – ideal for industrial R&D environments.
The EL1-L is built upon a modular base configuration and tailored specifically to its intended application. During an initial consultation, we are defining a detailed performance profile based on individual requirements. This forms the foundation for a comprehensive technical proposal, which outlines the customized system design and functional scope.
