The stack operates at a test temperature of 750°C and requires a compatible fuel gas supply of hydrogen or natural gas. Multiple thermal cycling is supported, but thermal management must prevent rapid temperature gradients that could damage the ceramic cells.
- Fuel Gas Compatibility: Only hydrogen or natural gas must be supplied as the fuel gas to avoid anode contamination or performance degradation.
- Thermal Cycling Constraint: Controlled ramp rates during thermal cycling are required to prevent mechanical stress and cracking of the 24-cell stack assembly.
This procedure covers the safe startup and operation of the research-grade SOFC stack at 750°C. Proper fuel gas connection and thermal management are critical to avoid cell damage.
Required Equipment: Hydrogen or natural gas supply line with pressure regulator, Furnace or heating system capable of controlled ramp to 750°C
- Verify fuel gas supply
Confirm the fuel gas source is hydrogen or natural gas and that the supply line is leak-tested and connected to the stack inlet. - Heat stack to operating temperature
Apply a controlled temperature ramp to bring the stack to 750°C, ensuring the heating rate does not exceed the manufacturer's recommended limit for thermal cycling. - Introduce fuel gas
Open the fuel gas valve gradually to allow hydrogen or natural gas to flow into the anode side while maintaining a safe purge sequence. - Monitor electrical output
Measure stack voltage and current at the specified load points to confirm performance matches the rated output table.
What are the measured power outputs of the 1 kW SOFC stack at different cell voltages?
The stack delivers 1209.60 W at 0.70 V/cell (16.80 V stack, 72.00 A), 1017.60 W at 0.80 V/cell (19.20 V stack, 53.00 A), and 795.60 W at 0.85 V/cell (20.40 V stack, 39.00 A). These measured points confirm the 1 kW rated output and support performance modeling for system integration.
Can this SOFC stack operate on natural gas in addition to hydrogen?
Yes, the stack supports both hydrogen and natural gas as fuel gas, as stated in the product specifications. This dual-fuel capability allows flexibility in fuel sourcing for laboratory or pilot-scale energy platforms.
What are the physical dimensions and test temperature requirements for this 1 kW SOFC stack?
The stack measures 150 x 150 x 80 mm with a single-cell size of 100 mm x 100 mm in a 24-cell configuration. It is tested at 750°C and supports multiple thermal cycling, which is critical for evaluating thermal management and durability in research setups.
The AF-FC-1K SOFC stack (SKU AF-HY-F-FCST-P1K0-S1K0) is a 24-cell, 100 mm x 100 mm unit rated at 1 kW with hydrogen or natural gas, and it is characterized at a 750°C test point. It provides measured operating points from 795.60 W to 1209.60 W across 0.70–0.85 V/cell, while integration must respect the 150 x 150 x 80 mm envelope and high-temperature operation.
Positive
- Dual fuel gas compatibility: The stack accepts hydrogen and natural gas as fuel gas, allowing the same 1 kW AF-FC-1K platform to be matched to either fuel supply arrangement.
- Measured performance points supplied: The output table reports stack voltage, current, and power at 0.70, 0.80, and 0.85 V/cell, providing concrete electrical operating points for integration assessment.
Trade-offs
- 750°C test-temperature constraint: The stack is characterized at a 750°C test point, meaning the integration environment must be designed for high-temperature SOFC operation.
- Fixed physical installation envelope: The stack has a 150 x 150 x 80 mm footprint with 100 mm x 100 mm single cells, so the surrounding installation envelope must be confirmed before deployment.
