Measurement & Testing

Hydrogen is an essential component of renewable energies. In mobility as well as energy supply, hydrogen is seen as a fuel of the future. Drive concepts with mobile fuel cells (PEM) or pure hydrogen engines are gaining ground worldwide. But also stationary SOFC fuel cells are gaining more and more popularity in power generation.

These strong transformations, especially in the automotive industry, have also prompted Moehwald to expand its product portfolio in the direction of fuel cell test benches.

Already 2008 Moehwald with the partner MS2 stepped in development and production for test benches of the mobile (PEM) fuel cell. This cooperation was intensified again from 2017 and with it Moehwald has competence-wise a wide base to design fuel cell test benches. This is enlarged by the Bosch Manufacturing network, which also build up strong competences in the field of hydrogen.

And as one of the few test technology manufacturers worldwide Moehwald has a complete in-house infrastructure for hydrogen and methane.

Reducing pollutants and optimizing consumption are the challenges facing both diesel and gasoline combustion technologies if they are to survive in the future and comply with the required emissions standards. In addition to technical solutions, synthetic fuels can also make modern combustion engines future-proof. No matter in which direction the further development of the technologies will go, test benches from moehwald can help the product and system developer to make these technologies better and more cost-effective and give the engine and automobile manufacturers the opportunity to meet the emission standards of the future under real driving conditions. Many years of experience and continuous development of test procedures in close cooperation with product development form the basis for our test bench concepts.

We accompany our customers in every project phase: from concept creation to process optimization of plants.

With our real-time software Prisma RT and the electronics RTE, we offer powerful and highly accurate solutions for your testing tasks.

Further services of our engineering team are software application development, IoT software and application development, development and optimization of measurement and control technology, provision and implementation of software updates, upgrade of existing systems and equipment and training on our products.

Safety and quality are paramount in the development and production of fuel cells. We support you in ensuring these with the following services:

• Electrical test benches for cells, components and stacks up to 100% humidity, up to 100% H2 (incl. safety technology)
• Performance, functional and endurance testing
• Gas and leak testing
• Customer specific adaptations
• Execution of tests as a service

Universal test systems for testing electric motors, electric axles, gearboxes and powertrains along the entire product life cycle - from development to endurance and end-of-line testing.

Your benefits:

• High flexibility and short delivery times
• Easy to adapt to your needs
• Adaptability to various automation concepts
• Integrated EMC concept (electromagnetic compatibility)
• Optimized energy consumption and natural frequency build-up
• Short cycle time, integrated NVH test, long-term stability,
• Specialized and easy to use software system

Our battery testing systems for modules and packs are based on over 15 years of experience in battery testing. They can be used for both end-of-line (EOL) and beginning-of-line (BOL) testing. All our systems are modular in design and can be individually combined from individual modules such as voltage measurement, high-voltage testing (HV), charge/discharge, current measurement, resistance measurement (DCIR/ ACIR) or functional tests with CAN communication.

The systems can be supplied both as separate test units and integrated into (partially) automated stations.
