Fuel processor / fuel cell systems for mobile applications are expected to be future mass products. Therefore, fabrication techniques are required, which can cope with high volume production at competitive pricing. Finally, the stainless steel or aluminium reactors and heat‐exchangers will be sealed by automated procedures such as laser welding, limiting the heat impact onto the catalysts applied in the reformers. Laser welding with dynamic beam forming is capable to weld the plate stacks of the heat‐exchanger reliably and mechanically stable to meet the demands of daily operation of such reactors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
