Thermally Integrated Fuel Cell Power System

View page
US Patent:
7008711, Mar 7, 2006
Filed:
Jan 27, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/351790
Inventors:
Joseph M. Pondo - Bolingbrook IL, US
David J. Goodwin - Willowsprings IL, US
Chakravarthy Sishtla - Woodridge IL, US
Randy J. Petri - Downers Grove IL, US
Robert J. Remick - Bolingbrook IL, US
Assignee:
Gas Technology Institute - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
H01M 8/04
H01M 8/10
H01M 8/18
US Classification:
429 26, 429 31, 429 19, 429 20
Abstract:
A fuel cell power system having at least one fuel cell stack, at least one fuel processor in fluid communication with the at least one fuel cell stack and heat exchangers for transferring heat between the at least one fuel cell stack and the at least one fuel processor in which the at least one fuel cell stack and the at least one fuel processor are circumferentially surrounded by a plurality concentric heat exchanger shell assemblies.

Multiple Step Fuel Cell Seal

View page
US Patent:
60176490, Jan 25, 2000
Filed:
Feb 12, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/022741
Inventors:
Joseph M. Pondo - Bolingbrook IL
Assignee:
M-C Power Corporation - Burr Ridge IL
International Classification:
H01M 208
US Classification:
429 35
Abstract:
A separator plate for fuel cell stack comprising a multiple-step peripheral wet seal structure and a multiple-step manifold wet seal structure which utilizes lateral and vertical material displacement resulting from the application of cell clamping forces to provide improved fuel cell and stack reactant gas sealing.

Finned Internal Manifold Oxidant Cooled Fuel Cell Stack System

View page
US Patent:
59068981, May 25, 1999
Filed:
Sep 18, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/933608
Inventors:
Joseph M. Pondo - Bolingbrook IL
Assignee:
M-C Power Corporation - Burr Ridge IL
International Classification:
H01M 802
US Classification:
429 34
Abstract:
A fuel cell stack system comprises a plurality of fuel cell sub-stacks, each of which comprises a plurality of individual fuel cell units. A separator plate separates the fuel cell units between an anode of one fuel cell unit and a cathode of an adjacent fuel cell unit. A single separator plate separates corresponding fuel cell units in each fuel cell sub-stack. The edges of the separator plate extend substantially beyond the periphery of each fuel cell sub-stack forming oxidant flow paths between adjacent separator plates extending from the separator plate edges to the center of the separator plate from which oxidant is then distributed to each of the fuel cell units. By virtue of heat transfer from the extended edges of the separator plate to the oxidant, the heat generated by the fuel cell can be controlled.

High Temperature Fuel Cell Stack Power Bus

View page
US Patent:
57362688, Apr 7, 1998
Filed:
Sep 26, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/721366
Inventors:
Joseph M. Pondo - Bolingbrook IL
Assignee:
M-C Power Corporation - Burr Ridge IL
International Classification:
H01M 802
US Classification:
429 12
Abstract:
A fuel cell stack power bus system which includes a plurality of current collectors mounted to the peripheral edge portion of a fuel cell stack end plate. The current collectors form lapped connections with a layered power bus which can be easily positioned to extend from any side of a fuel cell stack and which has improved heat transfer characteristics.

High Turndown Ratio Gaseous Fuel Burner Nozzle And Control

View page
US Patent:
20190309941, Oct 10, 2019
Filed:
Apr 4, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/375300
Inventors:
- DES PLAINES IL, US
Joseph PONDO - Bolingbrook IL, US
Assignee:
GAS TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE - DES PLAINES IL
International Classification:
F23C 6/04
F23C 3/00
F23D 14/02
Abstract:
High turndown ratio gaseous fuel burner nozzles and the control thereof are provided. High turndown ratio gaseous fuel burner nozzles include a mechanically adjustable nozzle port, such as in the form of an iris port, for expanded turndown control. A nozzle extension longitudinally extending from the mechanical adjustable nozzle port can be included to assist in shaping the flow of combustible gas from the nozzle port. A laminar flow insert can be housed within the nozzle extension to assist in producing laminar flow of the combustible gas flowing therethrough. A burner nozzle controller in control communication with the mechanically adjustable nozzle port can adjust the size of the nozzle port to selectively maintain exit velocity of the gaseous fuel from the nozzle port for one or more of combustion stability and flame stability.
