Tubular solid oxide fuel cell power output enhancement method e.g. for gas turbine drive, has helical coil within fuel cell sleeve for deflecting reaction gas flow so that it rotates about fuel cell sleeve axis

摘要

The power output enhancement method uses a helical coil (2) within the interior of the solid oxide fuel cell sleeve (1), extending along the longitudinal axis of the latter, for deflection of the fuel cell reaction gas (3), so that the gas flow is fed around the longitudinal axis a number of times during its passage through the fuel cell sleeve. An Independent claim for a helical coil for a solid oxide fuel cell sleeve is also included.
