  • Solid oxide fuel cell systems with hot zones having improved reactant distribution
    Patent number: 9343758
    Abstract: A Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) system having a hot zone with a center cathode air feed tube for improved reactant distribution, a CPOX reactor attached at the anode feed end of the hot zone with a tail gas combustor at the opposing end for more uniform heat distribution, and a counter-flow heat exchanger for efficient heat retention.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2016
    Assignee: Protonex Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Joseph C. Poshusta, Charles W. Booten, Jerry L. Martin
