The present invention is concerned with improved swirl burners, particularly, but not limited to, swirl burners used in fuel cell systems.

Fuel cell system and tail gas burner assembly and method

Swirl burner with fuel injection upstream and downstream of the swirler

A method and apparatus for operating an intermediate-temperature solid-oxide fuel cell stack () with a mixed ionic/electronic conducting electrolyte in order to increase its efficiency. The required power output of the solid-oxide fuel cell stack () is determined and one or more operating conditions of the solid fuel cell stack () are controlled dependent upon the determined required power output. The operating conditions that are controlled may be at least one or the temperature of the fuel cell stack and the dilution of fuel delivered to the fuel cell stack.

Method and apparatus for operating a solid-oxide fuel cell stack with a mixed ionic/electronic conducting electrolyte

A method of fuelling an intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell comprises providing a fuel rich in carbon monoxide to an anode region, after the fuel has contacted a water gas shift reaction catalyst in the region of the anode, so that the water gas shift reaction occurs due to the presence of residual water in the fuel, and/or steam produced at the anode. A fuel cell assembly comprises a gas impermeable electrolyte between an anode and a cathode, first means for the supply of oxidant to the cathode, and second means for the supply of fuel to the anode that comprises a water gas shift reaction catalyst to catalyse the water gas shift reaction between carbon monoxide in the fuel and water/steam occurring as a residual in the fuel or from the reaction at the anode. A method also applies a catalyst to a metal substrate by ink-jet printing.
