The Hydraulic Connection Package 1/4″ with Multiport Reservoirs represents the ideal solution for researchers working with stacked cell systems and larger-scale electrochemical applications. This comprehensive kit is specifically engineered for the demands of multi-cell flow battery stacks, multi-compartment electrolysis systems, and pilot-scale electrochemical research. It replaces traditional, limited glass flask setups with a fully integrated, temperature-controlled, and highly flexible dual-reservoir system optimized for higher flow rates and more complex hydraulic arrangements.
While standard glass flasks serve a basic purpose, modern research with stacked cells demands greater control, flexibility, and reliability. Our system is built around two of our advanced Multiport Reservoirs, transforming your electrolyte storage from a passive component into an active, controlled part of your experiment. Each reservoir features an integrated temperature control system with a stainless steel heating and cooling plate at the base, allowing for precise thermal management and ensuring uniform temperature throughout the electrolyte. This eliminates thermal gradients that can affect performance and lead to unreliable data, particularly important when managing multiple cells simultaneously.
With a total of 18 ports across two reservoirs (9 per reservoir), the possibilities for your experimental setup are nearly limitless. Use the extra ports for gas sparging or purging, electrolyte sampling, integrating inline sensors such as pH, reference electrodes, or conductivity probes, or creating complex multi-stream flow patterns. The reservoirs are constructed from polypropylene (PP) with a protective PTFE film, making them inert and suitable for a wide range of aggressive electrolytes, including the strong alkaline solutions that can corrode glass over time.
The 1/4″ hydraulic package is specifically designed for the unique requirements of stacked cell systems. The larger tubing diameter (1/4″ OD) accommodates higher flow rates required by multiple cells, reducing pressure drop and ensuring consistent performance across all cells in the stack. The package includes multiple elbow fittings that enable compact system layouts, essential when managing the complex plumbing of stacked configurations. Whether you are operating a dual-cell stack or a larger multi-cell arrangement, this system provides the hydraulic infrastructure needed for reliable, reproducible results.
This package includes more than just the advanced reservoirs. You receive a complete set of high-quality fittings and tubing to ensure a leak-free and chemically resistant flow path. All components are designed for 1/4″ systems and are selected for their durability and compatibility with demanding research environments. The kit includes PEEK unions and connectors for robust, chemically inert connections, PTFE hard tubing to ensure a clean, contamination-free path for your electrolyte, flexible peristaltic pump tubing in both 1/4″ and 1/8″ sizes for easy integration with your pumping system, and all necessary fittings including barbed fittings, elbow connectors, female fittings, flangeless nuts, ferrules, and a Y-piece connector to build a complete hydraulic circuit right out of the box.
We understand that research needs evolve. That’s why the Hydraulic Connection Package 1/4″ allows you to select the reservoir volume that best fits your application. Choose a matched pair of 250 mL, 500 mL, or 1000 mL reservoirs to scale your experiments from initial stack testing to pilot-scale system validation. This modular approach ensures that your investment remains valuable as your research progresses and your cell stacks grow in complexity.
