Steam Generator For A Pem Fuel Cell Power Plant

View page
US Patent:
20030157380, Aug 21, 2003
Filed:
Feb 19, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/078086
Inventors:
Richard Assarabowski - Vernon CT, US
Sean Breen - Holyoke MA, US
Steven Lozyniak - South Windsor CT, US
William Unkert - Tolland CT, US
Joseph Wysocki - Somers CT, US
Masaki Yokose - South Windsor CT, US
International Classification:
H01M008/04
H01M008/10
US Classification:
429/013000, 429/026000, 429/030000, 431/253000
Abstract:
A burner assembly includes a catalyzed burner for combusting an anode exhaust stream from a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell power plant. The catalysts coated onto the burner can be platinum, rhodium, or mixtures thereof. The burner includes open cells which are formed by a lattice, which cells communicate with each other throughout the entire catalyzed burner. Heat produced by combustion of hydrogen in the anode exhaust stream is used to produce steam for use in a steam reformer in the PEM fuel cell assembly. The catalyzed burner has a high surface area wherein about 70-90% of the volume of the burner is preferably open cells, and the burner has a low pressure drop of about two to three inches water from the anode exhaust stream inlet to the anode exhaust stream outlet . The burner assembly operates at essentially ambient pressure and at a temperature of up to about 1,700 F. (646 C.). The burner assembly can combust anode exhaust during normal operation of the fuel cell assembly. The burner assembly also includes an adjunct burner which can combust gasoline or anode bypass gas (the latter of which is a reformed fuel gas which is tapped off of the fuel cell stack fuel inlet line) during startup of the fuel cell power plant. Once start up of the fuel cell power plant is achieved, the burner assembly will need only combustion of the anode exhaust by the catalytic burner to produce steam for the reformer.

US Patent:
20050282096, Dec 22, 2005
Filed:
Jun 21, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/873078
Inventors:
Zakiul Kabir - Glastonbury CT, US
Joshua Isom - South Windsor CT, US
Masaki Yokose - Tolland CT, US
International Classification:
F23C011/04
US Classification:
431002000
Abstract:
Fuel from a source () passes through a hydrogen desulfurizer () and a proportioning mixing valve () to a CPO (), the temperature of the output of the CPO being monitored () to provide a signal () which a controller () utilizes to adjust the valve (). The output of the CPO may be passed through a water gas shift reactor () and a preferential CO oxidizer () to provide fuel to a fuel cell system (). The air provided to the valve () may be humidified, such as by an enthalpy recovery device () receiving the oxidant outflow () from the fuel cell system.

US Patent:
20140065505, Mar 6, 2014
Filed:
May 4, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/261768
Inventors:
Kazuo Saito - Glastonbury CT, US
Sitaram Ramaswamy - West Hartford CT, US
Masaki M. Yokose - Tolland CT, US
Richard R. Phillips - West Hartford CT, US
Michael L. Perry - Glastonbury CT, US
Catherine M. Goodrich - Holyoke MA, US
International Classification:
H01M 8/04
US Classification:
429436
Abstract:
Cathode exhaust of an evaporatively cooled fuel cell stack () is condensed in a heat exchanger () having extended fins () or tubes () to prevent pooling of condensate, and/or having the entire exit surface of the condenser rendered hydrophilic with wicking () to conduct water away. The cathode exhaust flow paths may be vertical or horizontal, they may be partly or totally rendered hydrophilic, and if so, in liquid communication with hydrophilic end surfaces of the condenser, and the condensers () may be tilted away from a normal orientation with respect to earth's gravity.
