Popis: The objective of the presented work, done under current ESA activity (Contract No. 4000109578/13/NL/SC), is the performance and tolerance evaluation of selected components and materials for the development of a High Pressure, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Electrolyser (HP-PEM-ELY) Stack, aiming to operate at 80 bar with a performance output of 0.3 A/cm2 at 1.6 V. An extensive study was performed on a single-cell high pressure PEM electrolyser manifold, leading to a list of materials with suitable properties and engineering solutions towards operation in space environment. This investigation provided the necessary feedback for the design of a HP-PEM-ELY stack, which is also discussed. The ultimate target of the current ESA activity is to implement research findings, develop and operate a complete regenerative fuel cell system, comprising of a High Temperature Fuel Cell Stack and the HP-PEM-ELY stack. System aspects are briefly discussed.
