New in-situ mapping solution gives researchers unprecedented visibility into fuel cell and electrolyzer performance.
Southern Pines, NC — Scribner, leader in electrochemical instrumentation and testing solutions, is pleased to announce the availability of DILICO CURR TEMP, a powerful new accessory designed to provide real-time visualization of current density and temperature distribution within operating electrochemical cells.
Purpose-built for integration with Scribner cell fixtures, the DILICO system enables researchers to see what has traditionally remained hidden inside an operating cell. By mapping localized current density and temperature across the active area, scientists and engineers can quickly identify thermal hot spots, gas starvation, flooding, membrane aging effects, and other performance-limiting phenomena that impact efficiency, durability, and overall cell health.
“At DILICO, our mission is to provide researchers with deeper insight into what’s happening inside an operating electrochemical cell,” said Maik Heuer, Founder and CEO of DILICO. “Partnering with Scribner allows us to pair our current density and temperature mapping technology with one of the industry’s most trusted cell fixture platforms. Together, we’ve created a seamless, turnkey solution that enables customers to integrate advanced diagnostics into their existing workflows with confidence, backed by the technical expertise and application support of both our teams.”
The system combines high-resolution segmented sensing with intuitive visualization software, allowing users to monitor cell behavior in real time and make data-driven decisions to optimize operating conditions. Compatible with both single-cell and stack configurations, the platform supports customizable sensor layouts and seamless data acquisition for advanced electrochemical research.
“Researchers have always known that what happens inside a cell determines everything about its performance,” said Russell Freed, General Manager of Scribner. “DILICO CURR TEMP gives them the ability to actually see those behaviors unfold in real time. By bringing current density and temperature mapping directly into the Scribner ecosystem, we’re helping our customers troubleshoot faster, optimize designs with greater confidence, and accelerate the pace of innovation.”
DILICO CURR TEMP helps researchers:
- Visualize real-time current density and temperature distribution
- Detect thermal hot spots, gas undersupply, and flooding
- Evaluate membrane aging and operational performance
- Optimize humidification and flow field design
- Integrate seamlessly with Scribner cell fixtures
- Support both single-cell and stack testing applications
As a turnkey solution jointly supported by Scribner and DILICO, customers receive expert application guidance, technical support, and integration assistance from trusted electrochemistry specialists.
The addition of the DILICO monitoring system further strengthens Scribner’s portfolio of fuel cell and electrolyzer testing solutions, empowering researchers with deeper insight into electrochemical performance and the tools needed to develop more efficient, reliable, and durable energy technologies.
The new cell fixture accessory is now available for purchase on Scribner’s website.
