Portable μ-SOFC System Based on Multilayer Technology

Abstract: An ultra-compact, portable solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system in the 100 Watt class is presented which is based on multilayer and ceramic technology and that runs on conventional fuels. The active SOFC system core within the insulation is smaller than 1 liter. The eneramic® system is designed for LPG mixtures and operates on ethanol as well. Due to its good thermal packaging the system achieves a gross efficiency of 33% and net efficiency up to 24% when commercial BoP components are applied.

“…Then exhaust is cooled down with ambient air to harmless temperatures of about 50°C. In contrast to an earlier design (5), the exhaust gas of the start-up burner is now integrated upstream in the air supply of the SOFC stack. By this measure, a significant reduction of the cold start time was possible, as the exhaust gases with temperatures of about 900°C directly heat the cathode side of the stack.…”

“…This planar arrangement of the component parts was chosen as it offers a cost-effective manufacturing method and simplifies stack compression. The hotbox core module and the applied stack technology have been discussed in more details elsewhere (5,6).…”
