Abstract
A multi-fuel fuel cell system is based on the distributed hydrogen production and fuel cell technologies is presented. The system includes fuel supply unit, fuel processor, fuel cell, heat exchange and oxidizer supply units. The fuel processor is a plasma-catalytic reformer. The heat exchange unit is a multiflow heat exchanger which is of a cascading structure from bottom top or a concentric cylinder structure from inside to outside. The multiflow heat exchanger has the function of balancing the heat of fuel processor and fuel cell. The fuel storage is connected to the fuel processor by the pipeline and provides fuel for the fuel processor. The outlet of fuel processor is connected via the multiflow heat exchanger to the fuel cell anode, and provides reactant for the fuel cell.
