Cell Voltage Pickup - customized solution

Support

Increase efficiency, reduce costs, enhance safety – with the Cell Voltage Pickup (CVP) solution from DILICO

The production of fuel cells, electrolyzers, and battery systems places high demands on quality assurance and throughput time. Adding further complexity—such as the electrical contacting of individual cells—is cost-intensive and increases installation efforts, especially when using conventional measurement cables. With the CVP system, DILICO offers an innovative solution that eliminates the need for complex contacting. This enables cell voltage measurement to be performed more easily, more quickly, and more safely.

Our goal: Increase the degree of automation in your production, minimize installation times, and significantly reduce both costs and safety risks.

What exactly does DILICO offer?

With our CVP system, we enable fast and cable-free integration of cell voltage measurements into your production processes. The previously complex connection of individual measurement cables is no longer required – the CVP allows for direct voltage tapping at the cells without the need for additional wiring.

DILICO cell voltage

For accurate cell voltage monitoring, we supply the appropriate measurement technology: DILICO’s voltage acquisition system can be seamlessly integrated either directly at the CVP module on the stack or used in combination with our established DILICO cell voltage 36 and DILICO cell voltage 48 systems.

Our Services – From Idea to Finished Solution

DILICO is your full-service partner for achieving optimal cell voltage measurement:

Stack Analysis: We examine the stack design and cell pitch of your system. Based on this information, we develop a mechanical design of the CVP that is precisely tailored to your application.
Customized Design: Each CVP is tailored to your specific requirements – both mechanically and electrically. Our goal is to integrate cell voltage measurement into your production process as simply and reliably as possible.
Mockup-Development:To enable rapid evaluation, you will first receive a mockup. This allows you to test the mechanical and electrical contacting of your stack and assess the functionality in your own facilities.
Prototype Construction:Following a successful mockup test, we build a fully functional prototype for you. In doing so, we take into account critical aspects such as the stack’s thermal expansion to ensure long-term and secure contacting.
Fast Validation:For validating the prototype, our proven DILICO cell voltage measurement technology is available to you. This allows you to immediately assess the quality and reliability of the contacting and measurement.
Interface and Protocol Alignment:After successful testing, we work with you to define requirements for additional aspects such as interfaces, communication protocols, and solutions for system integration.

Technical Specifications

The DILICO CVP system is designed for common applications in low-temperature fuel cells, electrolyzers, and redox flow batteries. The maximum recommended operating temperature is 100 °C. This makes it ideally suited for PEM and AEM systems, as well as for alkaline and methanol-based technologies.

Services

  • Quick Installation: Minimize installation times and achieve faster commissioning of your production lines.
  • High Safety: No more long, voltage-carrying cables – significantly reducing the need for complex insulation and protective measures.
