摘要： A fuel cell power plant assembly includes an accumulator having a housing. In one example, at least one demineralizer portion is positioned to interact with fluid within the accumulator housing. This allows for warm fluid within the accumulator housing to provide heat to the demineralizer portion. In one example, the demineralizer portion is within the housing. Another example includes a separator supported within the housing of the accumulator. A disclosed example includes a conical shaped baffle as the separator. The separator separates liquid from gas and facilitates distributing fluid flow within the accumulator housing to provide increased heat exchange with the demineralizer portion within the housing.

摘要： A fuel cell power plant (20) includes a variable resistive device (30). In one example, the variable resistive device (30) is operationally associated directly with a cell stack assembly (22). The controller (32) selectively varies an electrical resistance of the variable resistive device (30) responsive to an operating condition of the power plant (20). By using a variable resistive device, a variety of control functions are possible to address various operating conditions of the power plant (20) or the cell stack assembly (22).

摘要： A method for controlling an amount of a liquid electrolyte in a polymer-electrolyte membrane of a fuel cell is provided. The method comprises enriching one or more of a fuel flow and an air flow with a vapor of the liquid electrolyte, the liquid electrolyte being unreplenishable via an electrochemical reaction of the fuel cell. The method further comprises delivering the vapor of the liquid electrolyte to the fuel cell including the polymer-electrolyte membrane via one or more of the gas-permeable anode and or the gas-permeable cathode. In this manner, loss of liquid electrolyte from the PEM membrane of the fuel cell can be reduced, leading to improved fuel-cell endurance.

For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a steam reforming reactor comprising a reaction chamber having an interior surface, a packing material located within the reaction chamber, and a radiative heating shunt extending from the interior surface into the reaction chamber. The radiative heating shunt comprises a porous partition enclosing a sub-volume of the reaction chamber bounded by the porous partition and a portion of the interior surface, the sub-volume being at least partly free of packing material such that radiative heat has a path from the interior surface to a distal portion of the porous partition that is unobstructed by packing material.
