Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Based on previous long-term SOFC stack tests, two short stacks (one F20 and one F10 design) were tested in order to investigate stack performance under high fuel utilization (>40%) and possibly also high current densities (>0.5 Acm(-2)). The F20-design stack was still operated with relatively mild current densities (<= 0.5 Acm(-2)), but with high fuel utilization of up to 90% with 10% pre-reformed liquefied natural gas (LNG). The F10-design stack was operated with 20% humidified H-2, but with high fuel utilization of up to 90% and high current densities of up to 1.5 Acm(-2). Preliminary analysis shows that both F10- and F20-design stacks can be operated smoothly at a fuel utilization of similar to 85% in the temperature range of 750 similar to 800 degrees C, although an increase in concentration polarization can already be observed at the fuel utilization of similar to 80%. Operation with fuel utilization of 90% led to local oxidation of cells at a similar position in both stacks. Based on the calculations with a 1D model, such an effect was assumed to be due to the variation in fuel utilization caused by the temperature gradient in the cell.
