Pre-Prototype 5kW Fuel Cell Power Plant Development.

Abstract

A five kilowatt Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell (PAFC) power plant, with the ability to operate on neat methanol, was developed and tested. Overall thermal efficiency at full load (based on the lower heating value of methanol) was 32 percent. Keywords: Carbinols, Fuel cells, Power plant, Phosphoric acid, Methanol, Reforming.
