摘要:
A method for removing carbon monoxide from a gas stream, in which the gas stream loaded with CO is guided through a device, and the CO is removed from the gas stream through adsorption on the working electrode. As a function of an electrical voltage between the working electrode and the counter electrode, or between the working electrode and the reference electrode, an electrode cleaning mode is enabled by triggering a current flow between the working electrode and the counter electrode, and the CO adsorbed on the working electrode is oxidized to CO2.01.

The evaporator and the main reformer are in a thermal contact with the catalytic burner unit and, the prereforming unit is in a thermal contact with the CO removal unit.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for operating a fuel cell system consisting of a fuel cell, a reformer for generating a hydrogen-rich gas, and a combustion chamber in which the fuel cell exhaust gases are oxidized to generate the heat energy required in the reformer. According to the invention, in those operating states in which the heat energy supplied to the reformer from the combustion chamber is insufficient, additional amounts of fuel and oxygen are supplied to the reformer, so that additional heat energy is produced directly in the reformer by the oxidation of the fuel. At the same time, during the oxidation of the fuel in the reformer, steam is produced that can be used in steam reformation. Advantageously, adjustment of the additional amount of fuel and the oxygen supplied is performed as a function of the reformer temperature.

In a method and apparatus for selective catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide, the gas mixture and an additionally added oxidizing gas are conducted through a reactor containing the catalyst. Oxidizing gas is added at several points along the mixed gas flow path with a controlled or regulated through flow volume. The mixed gas stream is cooled passively by static mixing structures located in the inlet area of the CO-oxidation reactor. By controlling exothermal CO oxidation along the reactor path, a very variable process guidance is provided, that can be adjusted to individual situations.

A container for receiving an operating medium for the operation of fuel cells has an inlet for a medium, a first outlet and a second outlet. The container is divided by at least one permeable component into at least an inlet-side interior space, and an interior space which is remote from the inlet. The first outlet is arranged in the inlet-side interior space and the second outlet is arranged in the interior space which is remote from the inlet.
摘要:
An apparatus for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbons or alcohol, particularly methanol, by feeding a reaction mixture comprising a hydrocarbon or alcohol and water onto a catalyst. The catalyst is formed by compressing at least one catalyst powder into a compressed layer to form a shaped body. The reaction mixture flows under pressure through the catalyst layer while the pressure drops. Furthermore, the apparatus is suitable for a use in a hydrogen shift phases for reducing carbon monoxide, in carbon monoxide oxidizers and catalytic burners. A process for producing the catalyst is also disclosed.
摘要:
A vehicle has an internal-combustion engine drive and a fuel cell drive system. Liquid fuel is used to supply energy to the internal-combustion engine drive and the fuel cell system. The internal-combustion engine drive is used for starting the vehicle and for permitting its immediate movement after starting of the internal-combustion engine, as well as for heating the fuel cell system to a working temperature. After the working temperature is reached, the fuel cell is started. Subsequently, an electric driving motor, which is fed by the fuel cell system, alone or together with the internal-combustion engine drive, drives the movement of the vehicle.
摘要:
A process for generating a high-hydrogen, low-carbon monoxide gas comprises generating a product gas in a gas generating device. The product gas contains hydrogen and carbon monoxide that are generated from catalytic water vapor reforming of a water/fuel mixture and/or from partial oxidation of an oxygen/fuel mixture. In a gas purification stage, the carbon monoxide fraction in the product gas is reduced by selective CO oxidation on an oxidation catalyst. During a starting phase, oxygen is admixed to the supplied fuel and the flow direction is reversed such that the flow first takes place through the gas purification stage and only then through the gas generating device.
摘要:
A fuel cell energy generating system which includes a reformate generating device that contains a hydrocarbon reforming reactor and produces a high-hydrogen reformate, has a fuel cell arrangement to which reformate generated by the reformate generating device can be fed on the inlet side by way of a reformate supply line, having at least one reformate-quality-indicating sensor arranged in the reformate flow path, and having a control unit. A valve is provided in the reformate supply line which can be controlled by the control unit such that it releases or interrupts the feeding of the reformate supplied by the reformate generating device into the fuel cell arrangement as a function of the output signal of the at least one reformate-quality-indicating sensor.
摘要:
To carry out a heterogeneously catalyzed reaction, a reaction mixture comprising hydrocarbon and water is fed onto a catalyst that is produced by compressing at least one catalyst powder into a highly compressed layer which forms a shaped body. The reaction mixture is pressed through the catalyst layer with a pressure drop.
