METHOD OF OPERATING A FUEL CELL POWER SYSTEM |
摘要 |
A method of operating a fuel cell power system comprising: supplying a hydrocarbon fuel to a fuel processing system; supplying air and water to the fuel processing system; supplying a hydrogen-rich reformate from the fuel processing system to a fuel cell stack; supplying an anode waste gas from the fuel cell stack to a burner; drawing a load from the at least one fuel cell stack; and detecting an operating temperature of the fuel reformer; wherein supplying air and water to the fuel processing system comprises adjusting an amount of air and water to be supplied based on the load drawn from the fuel cell stack; and supplying the hydrocarbon fuel to the fuel processing system comprises adjusting an amount of hydrocarbon fuel to be supplied based on the detected operating temperature of the fuel reformer. |

1. A method of operating a fuel cell power system comprising at least one fuel cell stack connected to a fuel processing system, the fuel processing system comprising a fuel reformer for converting a hydrocarbon fuel into a hydrogen-rich reformate and a burner in thermal communication with the fuel reformer, the method comprising:
supplying the hydrocarbon fuel to the fuel processing system; supplying air and water to the fuel processing system; supplying the hydrogen-rich reformate from the fuel processing system to the at least one fuel cell stack; supplying an anode waste gas from the at least one fuel cell stack to the burner; drawing a load from the at least one fuel cell stack; and detecting an operating temperature of the fuel reformer; wherein
supplying air and water to the fuel processing system comprises adjusting an amount of air and water to be supplied based on the load drawn from the at least one fuel cell stack; andsupplying the hydrocarbon fuel to the fuel processing system comprises adjusting an amount of hydrocarbon fuel to be supplied based on the detected operating temperature of the fuel reformer. |
