Corrugated Current Collector For Direct Internal Reforming Fuel Cells
View pageUS Patent:
6492045, Dec 10, 2002
Filed:
Jun 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/891690
Inventors:
Scott Blanchet - Monroe CT
Joel Doyon - Bantam CT
Lawrence Novacco - Brookfield CT
Joel Doyon - Bantam CT
Lawrence Novacco - Brookfield CT
Assignee:
FuelCell Energy, Inc. - Danbury CT
International Classification:
H01M 818
US Classification:
429 20, 429 44, 429233, 429241, 429243, 429244
Abstract:
A fuel cell corrugated current collector having successive spaced rows of corrugations, with the corrugations in a given row establishing successive peak and valley regions along the given row and the spaced rows of corrugations being adapted so that corresponding peak regions from row-to-row establish through passages for receiving and supporting solid catalyst elements. The spaced rows of corrugations are such that there is a given pitch between successive peak regions. The corrugations in the rows are also such that corresponding peak regions from row-to-row have a finite off-set which is less than 50 percent of the pitch. This establishes a plurality of through passages in the current collector each extending from row-to-row for receiving and supporting the solid catalyst elements. Also, the off-set is based on the catalyst dimensions and is set such that the corrugations engage the catalyst elements.

H01M 10/44
H01M 10/46
US Classification:
320101, 429 13, 429 22, 429 23
Abstract:
A multi-stack assembly receiving fuel from a fuel supply and producing power output for consumption by a load, the assembly comprising a plurality of fuel cell stacks for producing DC power and forming a plurality of fuel cell stack groups, wherein each of the stack groups includes at least one fuel cell stack, a plurality of inverters corresponding to the plurality of fuel cell stack groups, wherein each of the inverters draws a predetermined amount of DC power from a corresponding fuel cell stack group and converts the DC power to AC power; and a controller for controlling each of the inverters to draw the predetermined amount of DC power from the corresponding fuel cell stack group so as to satisfy power requirements of the load.
Continuous Method And Apparatus For Manufacture Of Uniform Size Flake Or Powder
View pageUS Patent:
20030232000, Dec 18, 2003
Filed:
Jun 13, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/171148
Inventors:
Thomas Lucas - Pleasant Valley CT, US
Joel Doyon - Bantam CT, US
Joel Doyon - Bantam CT, US
International Classification:
C01D007/00
B01D009/00
B01D009/00
US Classification:
423/421000, 422/245100
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for continuous fabrication of homogeneous thin flake or powder electrolyte material from inorganic salt, metallic or similar materials or from mixtures of such materials for use in Carbonate Fuel Cell (“CFC”) power plants. Electrolyte precursor powders are fed to a continuous blender type mixer using precision metering equipment that controls material feed rates. The homogenous mixture of blended powders is then fed into a high temperature melting tank in which the mixture is melted, forming the desired molten eutectic composition. The liquid eutectic melt drips from the melting tank through ceramic or metallic nozzles and splat-cools on a rotating, water-cooled metal cylinder to produce uniform size, thin flake material. The thin flake electrolyte material can be used as-is, or it may be further processed using continuous grinding and powder fabrication equipment.

55589480, Sep 24, 1996
Filed:
Nov 9, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/336870
Inventors:
Joel D. Doyon - Bantam CT
Assignee:
Energy Research Corporation - Danbury CT
International Classification:
H01M 402
US Classification:
429 40
Abstract:
A nickel anode electrode component comprised of a support member and a porous coherent member formed from a non-sintered nickel alloy constituent. The support member and porous coherent member are laminated together and the nickel anode electrode component is assembled within a fuel cell and formed into an anode electrode in situ within the cell.

Michael Thomas Primerano - Torrington CT
Assignee:
Energy Research Corporation - Danbury CT
International Classification:
H01M 200
US Classification:
429 34
Abstract:
A bipolar separator which is formed from a plate having opposing first and second surfaces which are compatible with fuel gas and an oxidant gas, respectively. The plate is formed with a central area, first and second opposing troughs extending from first and second opposing sides of the central area, and third and fourth opposing troughs extending from third and fourth opposing sides of the central area. In the regions of its third and fourth sides, the central area is bent over and around so that the third and fourth troughs face and are adjacent to the central area. The first surface of the separator defines the extent of a first surface of the central area and the extents of the inner surfaces of the troughs of the separator. Similarly, the second surface of the separator defines the extents of a second opposing surface of central area and the extents of the outer surfaces of the troughs.

Abstract:
A method of forming an electrolyte matrix for a carbonate fuel cell. An. alpha. -LiAlO. sub. 2 ceramic is mixed in an aqueous solvent having a citric acid dispersant and deflocculated using a high energy attrition milling. The deflocculated mixture is added to an alcohol/glycerol aqueous binder system to form a slurry which is degassed and then tape cast to form the matrix.
