..., the system for a NH 3 fueled SOFC will have relatively low parasitic power losses and relative small heat exchangers for preheating the cathode air flow. In a stack with a coflow configuration and ASC cells, the temperature will be in the range of 700 - 800 ° C for the inlet and outlet...

... chloride present in the product gas. Especially the last two ones may lead to degeneration of the fuel cell anode and must therefore be almost totally removed before feeding the gas into the cell. In order to reduce energy losses, hot gas cleaning systems are favored. This, however, limits the possibility...

... of methane fuel utilization efficiency and each component of the plant has been evaluated on the basis of second law efficiency. The analyses show that in all cases the exergy losses (irreversibilities) in the combustion chamber are the most significant losses in the cycle. Furthermore, for the same power...
