The present invention is to provide a heat recovery storage device, which includes a major container, a heat transfer machine mounted in the major container, and a thermostatic valve mounted on the heat transfer machine. And the heat transfer machine is used for conducting heat transfer directly to the water in the major container, thus the efficiency of recovery increases, and loss of heat decreases. Also, the water is not easily boiled during the heat recovery, and the maximum of water temperature can increases. In extended use of more than one device of the present invention, each of the major containers can be installed with or without a heat transfer machine as required. The bypass outgassing control is not needed during the heat recovery, and is performed when the water temperature in the containers reaches to the highest.

Heat recovery storage device

A fuel cell assembly structure mainly comprises a housing in which there is an accommodating space; a plurality of unit cell stacks that are stacked in the same direction in the accommodating space of the housing and made by stacking in sequence a cathode layer, a power generation electrode, an anode layer and a connection disk; a connection disk connecting is series each unit cell stack, a sealing disk and a cover in sequence to cover the opening of the accommodating space of the housing. On the outer side of the cover there is a connection base, at least one surface of which has a plurality of conduits and the other end connects to a plurality of cell stack bypass manifolds that further connect to a plurality of side bypass manifolds.

A thermal management system for high-temperature fuel cell mainly comprises a first mixer to introduce external fuel to a reformer, a reformer to adjust the gaseous fuel to a proper composition ratio and output the fuel to the anode input of the fuel cell, a second mixer to introduce external ambient air to the cathode input of the fuel cell, a cathode thermal cycle pipeline to deliver the high-temperature air from the cathode output of the fuel cell to pass through the second mixer and the reformer and also heat the second mixer and the reformer to recover the heat, an anode thermal cycle pipeline to introduce the water steam from the anode output of fuel cell, remaining fuel and thermal energy to the first mixer to mix with incoming fuel, and provide sufficient water-to-carbon ratio and the inlet temperature required for the reformer.

Thermal management system for high-temperature fuel cell

A simulator is used for developing a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Through the simulator, electrical characteristics of the SOFC are examined. Thus, with the simulator, cost for developing the SOFC is saved.

Simulator of SOFC for electric characteristics

The present invention takes place of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) in tests. Some tests among them are done to find ways to recycle exhausts of the SOFC. And, some other tests among them are done to evaluate benefits of re-burning the exhausts. All tests save cost and time.
