摘要: A heat exchanger (50) is provided for transferring heat between first and second fluids (52) and (54) having a maximum operating mass flow rate through the heat exchanger (50) and mass flow rates that are substantially proportional to each other. The heat exchanger (50) provides essentially constant outlet temperatures for the first and second fluids (52,54) for all of the flow rates within the operating spectrum of the heat exchanger (50) without the use of an active control system. The heat exchanger (50) is of particular use in the fuel processing system (36) of proton exchange membrane type fuel cell systems.

摘要: A fuel humidifier/pre-heater system (10) is provided for pre-heating and humidifying a fuel flow, and is particularly useful for pre-heating and humidifying a fuel flow for a fuel cell, particularly molten-carbonate fuel cells (60). The system includes a steam generator (12), a water bypass (18), a liquid/steam mixer (20), and a mixture heater (14). The humidified fuel outlet temperature of the system is controlled by bypassing a portion of the water flow around the steam generator (12) so as to control the amount of superheat. The steam is then mixed with the fuel, and then the fuel/steam mixture is heated in the mixture heater (14). Additionally, a fuel bypass (16) can be provided for further temperature control by bypassing a portion of the fuel around the mixture heater (14) and then mixing the bypassed fuel with the steam/fuel mixture that has passed through the mixture heater (14).
