1. Loosen the four nuts and remove the four recessed hex-head screws holding the cell together.
2. Dismantle the cell. There are two housing plates to which the electrical terminals remain
attached (Perforated plates and electrodes), and the proton exchange membrane.
3. Carefully remove the electrical terminals from the housing plates together with the membrane.
4.Carefully remove the membrane. The electrodes should remain attached to the perforated
plates.
5. Unscrew the fitting from the housing plates.
Assembly
Disassembly
The PEMFC Kit can be completely dismantled. Note that the proton exchange membrane and the
electrodes are extremely sensitive components. They can be removed from the cell and shown to
students. However, we strongly advise against passing these components around the class.
