Interest:
The Solid Oxide Fuel Cell R&D activities
are done within a product oriented process.
All work is based on thermodynamic models
and includes the analysis of process cycles,
stacks, design optimisations and additional
measurements in our laboratories.
Achievements
in 2001:
Proceedings have been made with the modelling
of highly thermal integrated SOFC - heat
engine cycles. The ongoing analysis of SOFC
- heat engine systems for mobile applications
is an interesting aspect of this work. The
SOFC-GT system presented last year has been
compared with a SOFC - Stirling engine module.
A focus of the actual practical work is
on the reforming of liquid fossil fuels.
News
at HANNOVER FAIR 2002:
The exhibits will show new possibilities
of the integration of SOFC - Stirling engine
modules on a mid-class automotive vehicle.
An improvement in efficiency might be achieved
if the thermal integration is successfully
finished.
