Method and device for the production of mechanical and electrical energy

摘要

The device (10) has a fuel tank (12) containing fuel e.g. kerosene, petrol and diesel, and connected with a heat engine (18) e.g. diesel engine, by a fuel line (14) with a regulatable valve (16). The heat engine is operated with the fuel, and a thermal separation device (20) separates a target fraction of the fuel. A converting device (36) produces hydrogen from the target fraction of the fuel, and a fuel cell system (42) is operated with the hydrogen as fuel gas, where the target fraction comprises a mixture of hydrocarbon. An independent claim is also included for a method for producing mechanical and electrical energies from fuel.
