- Page 2 1. PREFACE The "Fuel Cell Developer Kit – 30 W" FCDK-30 (further – kit) enables the user to easily design and build fuel cell systems using a fuel cell stack with up to 30 W capacity. An Arduino open-source platform supported by an online developer forum encourages rapid customisation of the control system and user interface for a wide range of applications from toy trains, airplanes and automobiles, to remote monitoring systems.
- Page 3 3. FUEL CELL STACK OPERATING PRINCIPLE Hydrogen fuel cell power system provides energy to various applications. At the same time, use of FCs allows to reach new levels of power supply capacity. A fuel cell stack is designed for power generation by a chemical reaction between active agents on electrodes (the anode and the cathode).
- Page 4 5. KIT CONTENTS AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE Kit contents 1. FCS 8. Plastic tubing (L = 0,3 m) 2. Arduino shield for FCDK-30 9. Two plastic tube clips 3. Arduino Uno 10. Silicon tubing T-splitter 4. Two HYDROSTIK PRO hydrogen cartridges 11.
- Page 5 6. KEY FUNCTIONS AND RATED PARAMETERS 6.1. Key functions: • Measurements of current, voltage and temperature of FCS. • Adjustment of purging time and duration, and purge intervals of FCS. • Adjustment of fan speed. • External load connection indicator. 6.2.
- Page 6 7.1. How to unfold the kit When you are unpacking the kit follow the order as below: • Inspect the case, check its integrity, and possible signs of physical damage. • Open the case, take out the manual and read it carefully. •...
- Page 7 Prepare Arduino and fuel cell control shield: 1. If you do not yet have the Arduino Environment and drivers installed on your computer, follow these instructions, relating to your operating system (http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage). 2. Before proceeding make sure you can open an example Arduino sketch (e.g. blink), compile it and upload.
- Page 8 8. MORE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT! • It's not recommended to use excessive force when you are screwing the HYDROSTIK PRO into the pressure regulator, but at the same time it should be screwed tightly to ensure the flow of hydrogen from the cartridge to the FCS. •...
