1.5 KW Fuel Cell Powerplant.
Abstract
A 1.5 KW fuel cell powerplant was designed for field power supply. The design was validated by testing a breadboard powerplant incorporating the features of the design. It operates automatically on military logistic fuels over a 0-1.65 KW output power range. The powerplant consists of a dual bed regenerative thermal cracker, an air-cooled phosphoric acid fuel cell subsystem, a solid state voltage regulator, and an automatic control unit. The design is validated by 153 hours of operation of a functionally identical breadboard powerplant. An analysis was conducted to determine the potential of the powerplant. (Author)
