Clean Gas Reformer - A Compact Fuel Reformer for Undersea Vehicle Fuel Cells

Abstract

This report summarizes our work on the Phase I Navy STTR N04-T034 entitled Clean Gas Reformer - A Compact Fuel Reformer for Undersea Vehicle Fuel Cells. The report details the progress towards obtaining a suitable tri-layer structure to separate hydrogen from reformed diesel fuel at high temperature. Since the glass separation membrane operates at reformer conditions there are no thermodynamic losses, and therefore the process is more efficient as compared to existing technologies such as palladium separators.
