Liquid Tin Anode SOFC JP-8 Start-up

Abstract

This program demonstrated the feasibility to use CellTech Power's Gen3.1 Liquid Tin Anode Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (LTA-SOFC) design exclusively with JP-8 as a sole fuel source during start up and cool down. Previous tests utilized reducing gases such as hydrogen and H2/Ar during start up and cool down for protection of tin anode and non-precious metal based current collectors. This program successfully eliminated the need of additional reducing gases demonstrating that the LTA-SOFC can be started, operated and shut down using only JP-8 fuel.
