FUEL CELL SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED STARTING CAPABILITY |
摘要 |
A method of commencing operation of a fuel cell system which includes a fuel reformer is provided. During a start-up period, the same fuel which is used in the feedstock to the reformer is directed to at least a portion of the fuel cells in the system. These fuel cells provide output power by direct oxidation of the fuel, at least until the reformer is operational, producing a hydrogen-containing gas stream suitable for the fuel cells. Thus, useful output power can be obtained from the system without the delay typically associated with start-up of the reformer. |
