A desulfurizing device for a fuel cell includes a dehydrating element for absorbing moisture in a hydrocarbon fuel, and a desulfurizing element for absorbing a sulfur compound included in the hydrocarbon fuel that flows out of the dehydrating element. In another embodiment, the desulfurizing device for a fuel cell includes a dehydrating element for absorbing moisture included in a fuel, and a desulfurizing element. The desulfurizing element absorbs a sulfur compound included in the fuel flowing out of the dehydrating element if temperature of the desulfurizing element is below a predetermined temperature, and the desulfurizing element desorbs a sulfur compound included in the desulfurizing element whenever the desulfurizing element is heated above the predetermined temperature.
Abstract:
A reformer of a fuel cell system is disclosed. One embodiment of the reformer includes a reforming reactor generating reformed gas containing hydrogen by reforming hydrogen-containing fuel; and a CO remover removing carbon monoxide contained in the reformed gas generated from the reforming reactor, wherein the CO remover is disposed to be inclined in a predetermined angle to a moving path of the reformed gas exhausted from the reforming reactor and connected to the reforming reactor so as to communicate fluid therebetween, whereby the CO remover is not subject to the heat energy effect by a heat transfer effect due to air convection from the reforming reactor, making it possible to keep the CO remover an optimal state to improve reforming efficiency.
Abstract:
A fuel reformer using radiation comprises: a reforming reactor including a reforming catalyst for shifting fuel into a desired substance; a heater for supplying heat to the reforming catalyst; and a transparent inner wall positioned between the reforming reactor and the heater. With the present invention, the heat energy of the heater is transferred to the reforming catalyst in a radiation form so that the thermal efficiency of the fuel reformer can be improved.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a carbon monoxide remover and a fuel cell reformer including the same. In the reformer, a reformed gas produced from a reforming reaction unit when the reformer is initially driven is used as a fuel for a heat source unit supplying heat to a water gas shift reaction unit. The carbon monoxide remover is connected to the reforming reaction unit that changes fuel into reformed gas with hydrogen. The carbon monoxide remover lowers carbon monoxide contained in the reformed gas. The carbon monoxide remover includes a heat source unit employing the reformed gas as a fuel; and a water gas shift reaction unit provided with a shift catalyst using heat from the heat source unit. The shift catalyst lowers the concentration of carbon monoxide in the reformed gas through reaction between water and carbon monoxide.
Abstract:
A data storage device using magnetic domain wall motion may include a first magnetic layer having a plurality of magnetic domains. A second magnetic layer may be connected to the first magnetic layer, and a connection layer may be disposed between the first and second magnetic layers. A resistive magnetic layer may be disposed between each of the first and second magnetic layers and the connection layer. Accordingly, when current is supplied to the data storage device to move a magnetic domain wall, the leakage of current in a connection between the magnetic layers may be reduced or prevented, thus conserving power.

Disclosed is a fuel cell system which includes a generator, a reformer generating a reformed gas by reforming a gaseous fuel and water and supplying the reformed gas to the generator. A fuel tank stores the gaseous fuel in a liquid state by compressing the gaseous fuel and supplying the gaseous fuel to the reformer. A water supply device supplies the water to the reformer. The water supply device includes a container connected to the fuel tank and the reformer and contains the water and the gaseous fuel with a pressure. A separation layer is formed on the surface of the water in the container for blocking a contact of the gaseous fuel with the water.
