  • Publication number: 20200272984
    Abstract: A gas storage canister exchange system at least includes at least one full-filled gas storage canister and at least one exchange cabinet. The full-filled gas storage canister is used to supply gas. The exchange cabinet has a storage space and an exchange interface. When a user wants to perform a gas storage canister exchange, an empty gas storage canister is placed on the exchange interface, then the empty gas storage canister is recycled by the exchange cabinet, then the full-filled gas storage canister is sent to the exchange interface and system information is updated simultaneously, and finally the full-filled gas storage canister is acquired by the user, thereby completing the gas storage canister exchange. The storage space is used to store the full-filled gas storage canister and/or the empty gas storage canister. The object of exchanging and managing gas storage canisters is achieved.

  • Patent number: 9197099
    Abstract: A power supply system driving a load including a main power apparatus and a backup power apparatus is disclosed. The main power apparatus provides main power to the load according to city power. The backup power apparatus provides backup power to the load when the city power does not correspond to a first pre-determined condition and includes a recombination unit, a fuel cell unit, a transformation unit, and a control unit. The recombination unit recombines a methanol component to a hydrogen component. The fuel cell unit receives the hydrogen component to generate a first power. The transformation unit detects the city power and transforms the first power to generate the backup power. When the city power does not correspond to a first pre-determined condition, the control unit activates the reformer, the fuel cell unit, and the transformation unit to generate the backup power.

  • Patent number: 8263288
    Abstract: This invention relates to a rapid start-up, auxiliary power, and air preheating device of high temperature fuel cell systems, which comprise of a metal sheet, metal mesh plates, insulated ceramic rings and a direct flame SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) positive electrolyte negative assembly (PEN). The metal mesh plates are used to substitute the electrode plates to collect the current. The ribs between the PEN and the metal mesh plates are also for collecting current, while the ceramic ring is an insulator. This device is able to pre-heat gas rapidly and generates power at the same time, it's costless, easy to assemble, rapid start-up, high electric conductivity, excellent sealing and etc. In addition, it can heat up the fuel cell stack rapidly and start up the system without lag.

  • Publication number: 20090169969
    Abstract: This invention relates to a composite-material bipolar plate also known as an inter-connector of solid oxide fuel cell. The bipolar plate is constructed by a stamped sheet metal and two ceramic sealing materials as insulating grooves. The metal sheet is stamped to be with a corrugated shape, which is for collecting currents and for gas flow channels. The ceramic sealing materials as insulating grooves insolate anode and cathode electrodes and also block a leaking passage. The present invention can reduce thermal cracking conductivity and has the advantages of low cost, easy-to-make, high temperature resistance, high electric conductivity, and excellent sealing effect. In addition, the invention can shorten the start-up lag by externally preheating the metal sheet to heat up the fuel cell stack in a short period.
