    摘要: Hydrogen purification devices, components thereof, and fuel processors, fuel processing systems, and fuel cell systems containing the same. The hydrogen purification devices include an enclosure that contains a separation assembly adapted to receive a mixed gas stream containing hydrogen gas and to produce a stream that contains pure or at least substantially pure hydrogen gas therefrom. In some embodiments, the separation assembly includes at least one hydrogen-permeable and/or hydrogen-selective membrane. In some embodiments, the fuel processors, fuel processing systems, and/or fuel cell systems include at least one modular, or cartridge-based component. In some embodiments, the hydrogen purification device is, and/or includes, a modular, or cartridge-based, component. In some embodiments, the hydrogen purification device includes components that are formed from materials having the same or similar coefficients of thermal expansion.

    摘要: Fuel processing systems, which contain a fuel processor, and feedstock treatment systems for use in the same. The fuel processor is configured to produce a hydrogen, or hydrogen-rich, stream from a feed stream, which may include, for example, at least one carbon-containing feedstock and/or water. At least a portion of the feed stream is a vaporized feed stream. The fuel processing system further includes a treatment region configured to remove solids from at least the vaporized component of the feed stream prior to production of hydrogen gas from the feed stream. In some embodiments, a common housing at least substantially encloses one or more regions of the fuel processing system, and in some embodiments one or more of those regions are accessible from external the common housing without disassembling that housing.

    摘要: A system and method for preventing damage to a fuel cell stack resulting from impurities in a hydrogen stream delivered thereto. In some embodiments, the hydrogen stream is a product hydrogen stream from a fuel processor. In some embodiments, the impurities may result from a failure or malfunction in a separation region adapted to remove impurities in the hydrogen stream. The system and method include detecting the concentration of at least one component of the hydrogen stream and isolating the fuel cell stack should this concentration exceed an acceptable threshold level. In some embodiments, the system or method are adapted to detect the concentration of a component that itself is not harmful to the fuel cell stack, or which is not harmful in an associated threshold concentration. In some embodiments, the detected composition is at least one of water, methane, and carbon dioxide.
