Compact Multi-Tube Catalytic Reaction Apparatus
View pageUS Patent:
40985873, Jul 4, 1978
Filed:
Aug 25, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/827803
Inventors:
George R. Krar - Suffield CT
Ole L. Olesen - South Windsor CT
Richard A. Sederquist - Newington CT
Donald F. Szydlowski - East Hartford CT

Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
B01J 700
B01J 806
B01J 806
US Classification:
48 94
Abstract:
Compact reaction apparatus, such as for steam reforming a hydrocarbon feedstock to produce hydrogen, includes a plurality of reactor tubes disposed within a furnace. A portion of each reactor extends into the burner cavity or combustion volume of the furnace. Baffles, such as sleeves, are disposed around these portions of the reactor tubes to shield the tubes from excessive radiant heat from the wall of the burner cavity and to more evenly distribute heat among and around all of the reactors. These baffles permit the reactor tubes to be closely packed within the furnace and reduce temperature differences between the tubes.
Fuel Cell Power Plant Reformer

48203149, Apr 11, 1989
Filed:
Feb 11, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/013596
Inventors:
Ronald Cohen - West Hartford CT
Ole L. Olesen - South Windsor CT
George T. Suljak - Vernon CT

George T. Suljak - Vernon CT
Assignee:
International Fuel Cells Corporation - South Windsor CT
International Classification:
B01J 806
F22B 3724
F22B 3724
US Classification:
48 94
Abstract:
The reformer is designed for use with a large fuel cell power plant capable of producing megawatts of power, as, for example, would be used by a public utility. The catalyst tubes in the reformer have their upper ends at staggered elevations so as to be capable of having their temperatures individually monitored by infrared temperature sensors. The catalyst tubes are mounted on a floating support within the reformer housing so as to be free to undergo expansion and contraction during periods of internal temperature variation as the reformer is operated. The floating support is preferably formed from fuel manifolds suspended in the reformer housing. Baffles are included in the reformer housing for evenly distributing heat to the catalyst tube arrays. The reformer has a long burner tube which is approximately the same length as the catalyst tubes.
Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell Sulfur Scrubber And Method Using Same
View pageUS Patent:
53084560, May 3, 1994
Filed:
Jan 25, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/007936
Inventors:
Harold R. Kunz - Vernon CT
Richard A. Sederquist - Newington CT
Ole L. Olesen - South Windsor CT

Assignee:
International Fuel Cells Corporation - South Windsor CT
International Classification:
C25F 500
US Classification:
204130
Abstract:
Sulfur compounds poison catalysts, such as the anode catalysts and reformer catalysts within molten carbonate fuel cell systems. This poisoning is eliminated using a sulfur scrubber 29 located prior to the inlet of the cathode chamber 13. Anode exhaust 19 which contains water, carbon dioxide and possibly sulfur impurities, is combined with a cathode exhaust recycle stream 22 and an oxidant stream 25 and burned in a burner 33 to produce water, carbon dioxide. If sulfur compounds are present in either the anode exhaust, cathode exhaust stream, or oxidant stream, sulfur trioxide and sulfur dioxide are produced. The combined oxidant-combustion stream 27 from the burner 33 is then directed through a sulfur scrubber 29 prior to entering the cathode chamber 13. The sulfur scrubber 29 absorbs sulfur compounds from the combined oxidant-combustion stream 27. Removal of the sulfur compounds at this point prevents concentration of the sulfur in the molten carbonate fuel cell system.

Radiating Sleeve For Catalytic Reaction Apparatus
View pageUS Patent:
46613234, Apr 28, 1987
Filed:
Apr 8, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/721241
Inventors:
Ole L. Olesen - South Windsor CT
International Classification:
B01J 700
B01J 806
B01J 806
US Classification:
422197
Abstract:
Tubular catalytic reactors within a furnace are each surrounded by a radiator having an inner cylindrical surface spaced from the reactor defining a flow path for the furnace gases. The inner surface of the radiator has a plurality of adjacent helical channels formed therein extending the length of the conduit. Heat from the furnace gases traveling through the flow path is picked up by the radiators by convection and radiated to the reactor. The helical grooves improve heat transfer efficiency and circumferential uniformity of heating with minimum pressure drop; and they prevent the cut off of heat to localized areas of the reactor in case of contact between the reactor and radiator walls.
