Exclusive Laboratory Tours: A Behind-the-Scenes LookExklusive Laborrundgänge
Fraunhofer ENAS invites you to an exclusive lab tour at the institute on the Smart Systems Campus in Chemnitz. The tour highlights advanced printing technologies used to produce Catalyst Coated Membranes (CCM) for Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs) in fuel cells and electrolyzers. In the lab, you’ll learn more about these specialized printing techniques and the materials involved. This research is part of the Reference Factory.H2 project, in which Fraunhofer IWU and ENAS collaborate closely. Additionally, you’ll be introduced to a hydrogen sensor developed in partnership with Chemnitz University of Technology, capable of measuring high hydrogen concentrations even in conditions of high humidity.
Fraunhofer IWU offers tours of its test field laboratory. Here, you’ll explore research on various manufacturing processes for hydrogen system components, including the forming and joining of bipolar plates, the hydrogen lab, the fuel cell test bench, a hydrogen system demonstrator, and applications such as a hydrogen-based power supply system. Future regional strategies for fuel cells and electrolyzers will also be discussed.Participants on Conference Day 1 can sign up for the tours directly at registration.
