  • Publication number: 20230299319
    Abstract: The invention discloses an SOFC water supply system, which comprises a first water storage tank, a water pump, a second water storage tank, a condenser and a controller. The first water storage tank is provided with a liquid level sensor, a heating element and a temperature sensor; when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature in the first water storage tank is lower than the working temperature, the controller controls a first valve and a second valve to be closed and controls the heating element to be started.

  • Publication number: 20230213005
    Abstract: The invention discloses an emission control system. A vehicle-mounted solid oxide fuel cell system using the emission control system comprises a stack and a burner. The emission control system comprises an EGR intake pipe, as well as an exhaust cooling device, a supercharging device, a gas storage device and an EGR valve connected in sequence by the EGR intake pipe. An inlet end of the EGR intake pipe is connected to an exhaust pipe of the burner, and an outlet end of the EGR intake pipe is connected to an inlet pipe between the stack and the burner. This solution adds an EGR system to the original vehicle-mounted solid oxide fuel cell system. As the introduced exhaust gas can reduce the ambient temperature of the inlet gas, the generation of pollutants such as NOx can be reduced. In addition, after the EGR exhaust gas participates in combustion, the combustion temperature is further reduced, thereby inhibiting the generation of pollutants such as NOx.

  • Publication number: 20220376274
    Abstract: A cold-hot component support structure, comprising a base and a connected support connected on the base by a bolt, wherein a bolt mounting hole is provided on the connected support, and an upper end face and a lower end face of the connected support are provided with an upper heat insulation block and a lower heat insulation block respectively. The lower heat insulation block is provided with a limit hole connecting the bolt mounting hole, and the upper heat insulation block is extended with a limit sleeve inserted in the limit hole. The supported support is clamped between the upper heat insulation block and the lower heat insulation block by an insertion structure between the upper heat insulation block and the lower heat insulation block, and an inner wall of a bolt hole on the connected support is insulated by the limit sleeve, so as to realize effective heat insulation of the connected support and reduce heat loss of the connected support.
