Abstract

Wellman CJB Limited is involved in a number of projects to develop fuel processors to provide a hydrogen-rich fuel in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) systems for transportation applications. This work started in 1990 which resulted in the demonstration of 10 kW PEMFC system incorporating a methanol reformer and catalytic gas clean-up system. Current projects include: the development of a compact fast response methanol reformer and gas clean-up system for a motor vehicle; reforming of infrastructure fuels including gasoline, diesel, reformulated fuel gas and LPG to produce a hydrogen rich gas for PEMFC; investigating the potential of dimethylether (DME) as source of hydrogen rich gas for PEMFCs; the use of thin film palladium diffusers to produce a pure hydrogen stream from the hydrogen rich gas from a reformer; and processing of naval logistic fuels to produce a hydrogen rich gas stream for PEMFC power system to replace diesel generators in surface ships. This paper outlines the background to these projects and reports their current status.

对醇、碳氢化合物和醚进行加工，为运输用PEMFC生产氢气

Wellman CJB有限公司参与了许多开发燃料处理器的项目，为运输应用的质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)系统提供富氢燃料。这项工作始于1990年，结果是10千瓦的PEMFC系统的演示，该系统包括甲醇重整器和催化气体净化系统。目前的项目包括:为机动车辆开发紧凑型快速反应甲醇重整器和气体净化系统;改造基础燃料，包括汽油、柴油、重新配制的燃料气和液化石油气，为PEMFC生产富氢气体;研究二甲醚(DME)作为pemfc富氢气源的潜力;利用薄膜钯扩散器从重整器的富氢气体中产生纯氢流;以及处理海军后勤燃料，为PEMFC电力系统生产富氢气流，以取代水面舰艇上的柴油发电机。本文概述了这些项目的背景，并报告了它们的现状。
