摘要： A power generating apparatus for reducing product water in a fuel cell exhaust stream. The apparatus includes a fuel cell for conducting an electrochemical reaction producing electricity and an exhaust stream comprising water, a water tank having an exhaust stream inlet connected to an exhaust stream outlet of the fuel cell, and a combustor in fluid communication with an upper portion of the water tank. A portion of the water in the exhaust stream condenses and drops out of the exhaust stream within the water tank to give a water-depleted exhaust stream that is directed to the combustor. Preferably, the water tank is connected to a source of make up water and a drain. The tank can further have level control systems for maintaining minimum and maximum levels of water within the tank. The tank may have an outlet for directed collected water to a fuel cell, fuel processing or integrated fuel cell/fuel processing system. A method for separating water from a fuel cell exhaust is also provided.

摘要： An apparatus for separating liquid from a gas stream. The apparatus includes an elongated housing having a cylindrical inner surface and a gas stream inlet that is tangential to the side wall of the housing so as to cause the entering gas stream to swirl within the housing. A gas stream outlet is located at the top of the housing and a liquid outlet at the bottom. The gas stream outlet can include an elongated tubular member that extends into the housing and has an opening that is located below the housing gas stream inlet. Liquid components of the gas stream separate from the stream under the influence of centrifugal forces that are created by the swirling flow path of the stream within the housing. A liquid outlet and liquid outlet valve are provided for maintaining a minimum level of liquid within the housing so as to maintain a liquid seal within the housing. A level indicator may optionally be provided to monitor the liquid level within the housing. A power generation apparatus having two or more of the separators for separating liquid from fuel cell and fuel processor steams. Methods for manufacturing an apparatus for removing liquid from a gas stream and methods for separating liquid from a gas stream are also provided.

摘要： An integrated fuel processor apparatus and enclosure for converting hydrocarbon fuel to a hydrogen rich gas. The integrated apparatus includes a fuel processor for producing a hydrogen-rich reformate that contains water and a combustible gas component. The fuel processor is enclosed in a gas impermeable enclosure that has a collection vessel for receiving water separated from the reformate stream. The collection vessel has a drain for directing the water out of the enclosure. The collection vessel is open to the interior of the enclosure so that combustible gases that are entrained in the water can evaporate to the interior of the enclosure. The enclosure has a ventilator for evacuating the combustible gases from within the enclosure. Where high levels of combustible gases are present, the ventilator is configured to direct the gases to a combustor. A gas detection sensor is included in the enclosure to monitor the interior of the enclosure. A processor receives data from the sensor and controls the removal of the combustible gases. The apparatus can further include a separator for separating the water from the hydrogen-rich reformate and directing the water into the collection vessel. The apparatus can include a separator for receiving and separating product water from a fuel cell exhaust stream and directing the product water to the collection vessel. In addition, collection vessel is connected to the outlet of a process water tank for receiving process water from the tank. Methods for manufacturing an apparatus for separating water from a reformate stream for safe disposal and methods for separating water from a reformate stream for safe disposal are disclosed.
