WHOLE SYSTEME TEST WITH WITH ONLY ONE CELL CONNECTED 05.07.2022

tested according test specification 00005: WHOLE SYSTEME TEST WITH WITH ONLY ONE CELL CONNECTED

 

 Step

 Step Description

 Expected Result

 RESULTS

 Precondition

 System is off

 

 

 CONNECTING THE COMPLETE VOLTAGE TO ONLY ONE CELL 

 DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY FROM TWO CELLS AND CONNECT IT TO ONLY ONE CELL. 

 MORE CURRENT WILL DRIVE THROUGH THE CELL

 Instead of 0.5 A, the power source has drawn up to 5 A from the 230 V socket. 

 Open the valves V1 and V2  

 Open the valves V1 and V2 from the GUI

 The valve V1 and V2 are open and enable to let the nitrogen  gas pass

 Positive

 WASH THE SYSTEM WITH NITROGENE

 Wash the system with Nitrogen for few minutes BY TURNING ON THE VALVE on the nitrogen tank

 

 

 One can see that there is nitrogene exit from the gas outlets

 Positive

 Switch on the system

 Turn off the nitrogen

 Turn on the system from the GUI

 

 THE SYSTEM IS GENERATING hydrogen and oxygen

 There is seen that only hydrogen is generated but this is so also in all previous tests we done 

 Burn the hydrogen

 Turn on the transformator

 The Hydrogen is burning

 Negative

 Switch off the system

 Switch off the system from the GUI

 Switch off the transformator 

 The system goes down

 Positive

 WASH THE SYSTEM WITH NITROGEN

 Wash the system with Nitrogen for few minutes BY TURNING ON THE VALVE on the nitrogen tank

 All the hydrogen existing in the pipe system exit

 Positive

 Postcondition

 Turn-off the system

 System is off

 

We have assumed that the voltage we give to one cell is too low, so we have connected all the voltage that was intended for all three cells to only one cell.

We expected more current to go through the one cell. And that is what happened and more hydrogen was generated. But the amount of hydrogen was not enough to burn it.

 

Fig 1: In the figure it can be seen that only one cell is connected

Test Analysis:

One can see that the resistance of the 3 cells is too high.

 

What to do:

1- Test whether the membranes are ruptured.

2- Rise the KOH concentration to the maximum.
