Abstract: A hydrogen generator having one or more actuators coupled to one or more heating elements in which the actuator(s) are used to improve the transfer of thermal energy from heating element(s) to one or more fuel units contained within the generator. In one embodiment, an actuator allows insertion and/or removal of packaged fuel units without the need of removing the heating element(s) and/or the actuator(s). When the actuator is in a retracted state (e.g., a low temperature state), the packaged fuel unit may be inserted and/or removed from a cavity of the hydrogen generator. When the actuator is in an extended state (e.g., a higher temperature state), the actuator forces contact between itself or the heating element and the fuel unit when a prescribed operating temperature is reached.

Abstract: A hydrogen generator and a fuel cell system including a fuel cell battery and the hydrogen generator. The hydrogen generator includes a cartridge, a housing with a cavity to removably contain the cartridge, and an initiation system. The cartridge includes a casing; a plurality of pellets including a hydrogen containing material; a plurality of solid heat transfer members in contact with but not penetrating the casing; a hydrogen outlet in the casing; and a hydrogen flow path from each pellet to the hydrogen outlet. A plurality of heating elements is disposed inside the housing. When the cartridge is in the cavity, each heating element is disposed so heat can be conducted from the heating element and through the casing and corresponding heat transfer member to initiate the release of hydrogen gas. The initiation system can selectively heat one or more pellets to release hydrogen gas as needed.

Abstract: A heater assembly for use in a hydrogen generator can be retracted to facilitate insertion and removal of a replaceable fuel unit without damaging the heater assembly or the fuel unit and extended to provide good thermal contact with the fuel unit during use of the hydrogen generator. The heater assembly includes a support member, a heater, and an actuator for extending and retracting the heater assembly. When the heater is energized it heats the actuator, thereby extending the heater assembly to contact the adjacent fuel unit, and when the heater is deenergized the actuator cools to retract the heater assembly and provide a gap between the heater assembly and the adjacent fuel unit. The actuator is movably secured to the heater or the support member by a retainer such that an end of the actuator is movable within the retainer as the actuator changes shape during heating and cooling.
