HYDROGEN GENERATION FOR FUEL CELLS.
Abstract
Life testing of the ammonia fueled sample hydrogen generator device, PT-7, was continued. A total of 39 cycles with an accumulated operating time of about 490 hours was accomplished before a weld failure occurred. Testing was subsequently resumed on prototype hydrogen generator, PT-6. To-date, the test generator has been operated 60 cycles with a total accumulative operating time of about 710 hours. There is no indication of any harmful effects due to the cyclic operation, and the reactor performance continues to meet the design capacity specifications. Additional life testing of BTX-Udex raffinate as a fuel using proprietary catalysts indicates continued successful steam reforming approaching equilibrium using a 3.0 mol of water per carbon atom ratio.
