Apparatus for thermal simulation of a fuel cell

摘要

An apparatus for a thermal simulation of fuel cell comprises at least a pre-heater heating a flow passing by, said flow being selected from an air flow and a steam flow and at least a simulation burner located at an end of said pre-heater to raise temperature of said air flow by burning a fuel and to obtain another air flow having predestined elements. The present invention resides in a simulator used in initial system integration tests of a SOFC to test peripheral components at low costs by replacing the costly SOFC with the simulator.
