The invention discloses a PEMFC bipolar plate service
life testing device and method. The device comprises a bipolar plate, a flow field on the bipolar plate, a cover plate, a bottom plate, a microporous filter membrane, a flexible counter
electrode, a heating membrane, a
gas supply device and a simulated PEMFC environment circulating liquid supply device. Gas channels are formed in fluid inlet and outlet positions of the polar plates; the
gas supply device is provided with various fluid measuring instruments, and the liquid supply device comprises a
peristaltic pump and a flow meter. When inuse, the bipolar plate
test flow field surface is covered with the microporous filter membrane and the flexible counter
electrode, and the back surface is covered with the heating membrane and fixed between the cover plate and the bottom plate; after liquid and gas simulating the PEMFC environment are introduced, the bipolar plate is polarized to the corresponding potential and then operates for along time, and the use condition of the bipolar plate is judged by detecting the
ion concentration in the circulating solution. The invention solves the problem that the service life of the
metal bipolar plate cannot be independently evaluated, the test method and the evaluation means are simple and practical, the service life of the bipolar plate can be accurately judged, and the device is suitable for being widely popularized in
metal bipolar plate service life tests.
