This fuel cell stack operates at a test temperature of 750 °C and requires hydrogen or natural gas as fuel. Multiple thermal cycles are permitted, but controlled heating and cooling must be applied to avoid mechanical stress and performance degradation.
- Fuel Gas Compatibility: Only hydrogen and natural gas are approved fuel gases for this stack.
- Operating Temperature: The stack must be operated at a test temperature of 750 °C to achieve rated performance.
- Thermal Cycling Management: Controlled heating and cooling rates are required during multiple thermal cycles to prevent thermal shock and cracking.
- Containment and Ventilation: The stack must be housed in a ventilated enclosure to manage exhaust gases and mitigate the risk of fuel leaks.
- Electrical Safety: Output terminals carry high current up to 78 A and must be properly insulated to prevent short circuits or electric shock.
This process describes the initial setup and safe operation of the 200W SOFC fuel cell stack. Follow these steps to connect fuel, heat the stack, and monitor performance.
Required Equipment: Fuel gas supply line (hydrogen or natural gas), Temperature controller or furnace capable of 750 °C, Multimeter for voltage and current monitoring
- Inspect stack
Inspect the stack for any visible damage or contamination before installation. - Connect fuel supply
Connect the fuel gas supply (hydrogen or natural gas) to the stack inlet using appropriate fittings. - Secure electrical connections
Verify that all electrical connections are secure and insulated to withstand the operating current. - Preheat stack
Preheat the stack to the operating temperature of 750 °C using a controlled ramp rate to avoid thermal shock. - Monitor performance
Monitor the stack voltage and current to confirm stable operation and adjust fuel flow if needed. - Operate at load
Apply electrical load gradually while monitoring voltage to remain within the rated power envelope. - Shut down safely
Shut down the stack by gradually reducing the fuel supply and allowing the stack to cool naturally.
What is the maximum power output of the Atomfair 200W SOFC stack at different cell voltages?
The stack delivers a maximum measured power of 283.06 W at 0.60 V/cell (stack voltage 3.61 V, current 78.41 A). At the rated 0.70 V/cell, output is 204.00 W (stack voltage 4.70 V, current 43.40 A). At 0.88 V/cell, output drops to 140.55 W (stack voltage 5.26 V, current 26.72 A). These performance points are provided for quotation confirmation.
Can the Atomfair AF-FC-200W stack operate on natural gas in addition to hydrogen?
Yes, the stack supports both hydrogen and natural gas as fuel gas. The test point shown is at 750°C, and the stack is designed for multiple thermal cycling. This dual-fuel capability allows integration into platforms where natural gas is the primary or backup fuel source.
What are the physical dimensions and customization options for the Atomfair 200W SOFC stack?
The stack has a footprint of 150 mm x 150 mm with single cells sized at 100 mm x 100 mm. Height includes piping and is customizable to fit specific installation envelopes. The 6-cell configuration is fixed, but the overall height can be adjusted per quotation requirements.
This 200W SOFC stack (6-cell, 100×100 mm cells) offers fuel flexibility with hydrogen or natural gas operation and supports multiple thermal cycles, but requires high-temperature infrastructure (750°C) and careful integration due to customizable piping height.
Positive
- Dual fuel gas compatibility: Operates on hydrogen or natural gas, enabling flexible fuel sourcing for research and demonstration platforms.
- Multiple thermal cycling tolerance: Designed for repeated thermal cycling, supporting durability testing and intermittent operation without immediate degradation.
Trade-offs
- High operating temperature requirement: Tested at 750°C, necessitating high-temperature furnace or insulation infrastructure and imposing thermal management and safety constraints in the lab.
- Customizable piping height integration: Height includes piping and is customizable, requiring careful dimensional planning and potential custom manifold design for system integration.
