1.5-KW Fuel Cell Powerplant Catalyst Investigation.

Abstract

The objective of this program was to improve the PC14 powerplant thermal cracker catalyst and to define its performance characteristics. Five areas were investigated: (1) the type of catalyst ceramic support and the level of nickel loading, (2) the effect of shock and vibration on performance, (3) performance on leaded gasoline and JP-4, (4) the effect of high sulfur fuel on performance, and (5) endurance on leaded gasoline. The results of the study are given in the report.
