PETR 105 |
| The design, development and performance of logistic fuel (e.g. diesel, JP-8), prototype Fuel-Processor designed for integration with Fuel Cell stacks will be described. An auto-thermal reforming approach was used. The reforming reactors were based on a small, modular catalytic reactor, which utilized patented Microlith substrates and catalyst technology. These reactors have demonstrated the capability of efficiently reforming liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon fuels at exceptionally high power densities. The performance characteristics of an auto-thermal reactor and Water Gas Shift Reactor will be presented along with durability data. The Fuel Processor includes fuel mixing, injection, steam generation, controls and reformate desulfurization. The system design was developed via ASPEN® process simulation software and was analyzed with reference to system balance requirements. Information relating to fuel processors sized from 2 – 50 kWe will be presented. |
