Improved Round Trip Efficiency for Regenerative Fuel Cell Systems

Abstract

Extensive testing of the breadboard system was completed including baseline leak rate measurements. Several improvements were made to the system to permit stable, automated operation at 4 kilowatts, twice the previous power output, and the system was demonstrated at this power output. The first round of bench-top hydrogen recovery reactor media testing was completed. The supplier s procurement efforts for the final deliverable of the hermetically-sealed scroll compressors were underway.
