Abstract：

In　order　to　test　passive　direct　methanol　fuel　cell　and　simultaneously　observe　anode　and　cathode　of　a　fuel　cell,　we　designed　and　built　a　test　system.　The　test　system　consists　of　four　units:　temperature　control　unit,　lighting　unit,　camera　unit　and　test　and　data　acquisition　unit.　With　a　two-floor　placement　design,　we　separated　tested　object　and　its　close　auxiliary　components　from　other　devices.　The　design　is　critical　for　changing　inclination　angle　between　outward　normal　of　anode　and　gravity　direction,　which　is　important　to　the　experiment.　The　control　interface　of　the　test　system　makes　it　suitable　for　a　microgravity　test　system　in　NMLC　(National　Microgravity　Laboratory　Center).　Considering　the　test　system　will　be　used　for　microgravity　experiment　besides　routine　normal　gravity　experiments,　many　specific　issues　have　been　taken　into　account.　©　(2013)　Trans　Tech　Publications　Switzerland.
