150 electrolyte reservoir plates (ERP's) were carbonized for the small area short stack. A process was developed which allows thin (1--2 mil) matrix to be applied to full-size electrodes using a curtain coater. Full-size cooler samples were molded with and without cooler tube arrays. Two alternative cooler hoses were evaluated and found to be acceptable based on 1400 h testing at simulated conditions.
