摘要:
A lithium-ion rechargeable battery module having a plurality of lithium-ion battery cells, arranged that battery cells located at an high temperature portion of the module are electrically connected in parallel with battery cells located at a low temperature portion of the module. The battery cells at the high temperature portion have a higher electric resistance at 20° C. and a better high-temperature storage characteristic at 50° C. than those of the battery cells located at the low temperature portion.

A heat pipe is installed in a generating chamber of a module being comprised of a solid oxide fuel cell or a bundle of a plurality of solid oxide fuel cells connected in parallel or series. Preferably, the heat pipe is installed across the generating chamber and a combustion chamber for burning residual fuel unused as electrochemical reaction. By installing the heat pipe as described above, the heat transfer between both the chambers are executed smoothly, and thereby it is possible to make heat uniform in the module, in starting state, normal generating state, high power output state or abnormal state of the module.

It is an object to shorten current path between an anode and a cathode in a tube type SOFC and thereby to decrease resistance. The tube type fuel cell contains a tube type electrolyte placed between an anode and a cathode, wherein an auxiliary electrode is provided over the entire region of a cell reaction region on at least one of the anode and cathode. The current path is shortened and resistance is decreased, because the anode auxiliary electrode or cathode auxiliary electrode is provided over the entire peripheral surface of the anode or cathode, and the current path in the auxiliary electrode has a greatly increased cross-sectional area.

A temperature adjustment member is arranged to control temperature of a reformer independently of temperature of a fuel cell module. The reformer is structured as a three-fluid heat exchanger into which a fluid is introducible whose temperature is higher or lower than exhaust-gas temperature of the fuel cell module. Then, the temperature of the reformer is controlled independently of operation temperature of the fuel cell by introducing the higher-temperature or lower-temperature fluid into the reformer. Also, a high-temperature or low-temperature gas is mixed with the module's exhaust gas, thereby adjusting temperature of the exhaust gas itself. This also controls the temperature of the reformer independently of the operation temperature of the fuel cell.

摘要:
A module of solid oxide fuel cells, which is capable of making a temperature distribution of the module uniform, is composed of a plurality of fuel cells which are assembled together, and is adapted to be capable of controlling gas temperatures and/or gas flow rates of gasses fed into a center part and a peripheral part of the module, independent from each other. With this configuration, when the temperature of the center part of the module becomes higher than that of the peripheral part of the module during a temperature rise, the temperature or the flow rate of the gas fed into the center part of the module is controlled so as to restrain the temperature of the center part of the module from being increasing. Further, when the temperature of the center part of the module becomes higher than that of the peripheral part thereof during power generation, the temperature of the gas fed into the center part of the module is lowered, or the flow rate thereof is adjusted in order to restrain the center part of the module from increasing its temperature, whereby it is possible to make the temperature distribution of the module uniform.

The present invention provides a fuel cell power system, in which a combustion exhaust gas having a high temperature and generated by the combustion reaction of unreacted fuel gas and oxidizer gas which are not utilized in a power-generating reaction is introduced into a gas header for distributing the fuel gas or the oxidizer gas to a plurality of fuel cells contained in a fuel cell body, in such a way that a larger amount of heat is transferred to the gas which is to be supplied to the cells disposed in a peripheral area of the fuel cell body by heat exchange, and a smaller amount of the heat is transferred to the gas which is to be supplied to the cells disposed in a central area of the fuel cell body.

A flat tube double-sided power generation type fuel cell is comprised of the combination of one or more of the following means (1) and (2). That is, means (1) for optimizing the constitution of an current-collecting electrode thereby making the flow of fuel or air uniform over the entire region, and means (2) for dividing the current-collecting electrode into two regions thereby shunting the flow of the fuel into a flow directing to the anode of the cell and a flow directly directing to the downstream, for increasing the power generation amount in the cell, the means being applicable also to a cell of a cylindrical shape.
