26 Jul 1999TL;DR: In this paper, a high temperature fuel cells are arranged with planar design in a centrally symmetrical stack and a supply point is provided for a gaseous or liquid fuel.
Abstract: The plant ( 1 ) contains high temperature fuel cells ( 20 ) which are arranged with planar design in a centrally symmetrical stack ( 2 ). A supply point ( 5 ) is provided for a gaseous or liquid fuel ( 50 ). In a reformer ( 4 ) following the supply point the fuel can be catalytically converted at least partially into CO and H 2 in the presence of H 2 O and with process heat being supplied. An afterburner chamber ( 6 ) follows the output points of the fuel cells ( 20 ). A feedback connection ( 61 ) exists between the supply point and the afterburner chamber via which the exhaust gas ( 60′, 70′ ) can be fed back to the supply point. In case no gas is provided as a fuel, the supply point comprises a means for feeding in a liquid fuel, such as using an atomizer.

TL;DR: A POLLUTION CONTROL System for CONNECTION to the exhaust of an AUTOMOBILE or HEATING PLANT CONSUMING FOSSIL FUELS CONSISTing of an AFTERBURNER COMPARTMENT including a glow head DISPOSED withIN the afterburner compartment for IGNITING UNBURNED EXHAUST GASES.
Abstract: A POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEM FOR CONNECTION TO THE EXHAUST OF AN AUTOMOBILE OR HEATING PLANT CONSUMING FOSSIL FUELS CONSISTING OF AN AFTERBURNER COMPARTMENT INCLUDING A GLOW HEAD DISPOSED WITHIN THE AFTERBURNER COMPARTMENT FOR IGNITING UNBURNED EXHAUST GASES. THE AFTERBURNER COMPARTMENT ALSO INCLUDES AN AIR INLET TO PERMIT OXYGEN TO MIX WITH THE UNBURNED EXHAUST GASES TO AID IN THEIR IGNITION. AT THE OUTPUT OF THE AFTERBURNER COMPARTMENT IS INCLUDED A COOLING AND MIXING CHAMBER SO THAT THE EXHAUST GASES CAN BE FED INTO A PNEUMATIC PUMP WHERE THEY WILL BE APPLIED TO A FILTERING SYSTEM PREFERABLY CONSISTING OF CHARCOAL BEFORE THE GAS ENTERS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to relax the temperature condition of a heater heating the air and fuel fed to a fuel cell provided with a solid electrolyte and an afterburner via the combustion gas from the after-burner to the temperature not requiring the use of ceramic.
Abstract: PURPOSE:To relax the temperature condition of a heater heating the air and fuel fed to a fuel cell provided with a solid electrolyte and an afterburner via the combustion gas from the afterburner to the temperature not requiring the use of ceramic. CONSTITUTION:A fuel cell power generating device is provided with an air feed system 10 mixing the air of the room temperature into the combustion gas discharged from an afterburner 4. The temperature of the combustion gas fed to heat exchangers 1, 2 serving as a heater heating the mixed air and fuel is reduced to 850 deg.C.
