Improved Round Trip Efficiency for Air Independent Regenerative Fuel Cell Systems

Abstract

Refurbishment of the regenerative fuel cell test stand was completed including fabricating new plumbing, cleaning for oxygen service, and final assembly in the clean room. Initial operational testing in electrolysis and fuel cell modes was completed. Materials development for the hydrogen recovery reactor continued, and a bench-top test was devised and prepared. The preliminary and final designs of the hermetically-sealed scroll compressors were completed.
