A method of operating an electrolyzer module includes providing a first air stream and steam into a stack of electrolyzer cells located in a hotbox and outputting a product stream containing hydrogen and steam, and an oxygen exhaust stream, providing the product stream to an internal product cooler (IPC) heat exchanger located in the hotbox to reduce the temperature of the product stream by transferring heat to the first air stream, and providing the product stream from the IPC to an external product cooler (EPC) heat exchanger located outside of the hotbox and inside of a cabinet housing the hotbox to further reduce the temperature of the product stream by transferring heat to a fluid stream.

Electrolyzer cell module and method of operating thereof using separate stack air flow and product cooling flow

An electrolyzer system includes a splitter configured to split a first air inlet stream into a bypass air stream and a second air inlet stream, a stack of electrolyzer cells configured receive steam and the second air inlet stream and output a product stream containing hydrogen and an oxygen exhaust stream, such that the bypass air stream is configured to bypass the stack, and a product cooler heat exchanger configured to cool the product stream using the first air inlet stream.

Solid oxide electrolyzer system including air bypass

A solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) system including a stack of electrolyzer cells configured to receive liquid water that is heated using one or more heaters, and a mass flow controller configured to control the liquid water flowrate into the one or more heaters.
