  • Method and plant for converting solid biomass into electricity
    Patent number: 8535840
    Abstract: A self-contained system for the generation of electrical energy from biomass by gasification combines several process units in one self-contained system. The global properties are greater than the sum of the individual properties of the process units.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2007
    Date of Patent: September 17, 2013
    Assignee: Paul Scherrer Institut
    Inventors: Serge Biollaz, Markus Jenne, Florian Nagel, Tilman J. Schildhauer

  • Fuel cell battery with an integrated heat exchanger
    Patent number: 7041406
    Abstract: The fuel cell battery (1) has an integrated heat exchanger (4) which is arranged between a heat insulating jacket (12) and a stack (10) of high temperature fuel cells (2). There is a chamber (3), preferably at least two chambers for afterburning, between a periphery (14) of the cell stack and the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is provided for a heat transfer from an exhaust gas (7) to a gaseous oxygen carrier (5). There are arranged on the stack periphery (14), outside or inside the chamber or chambers respectively, inlet points (25a) for the oxygen carrier, on the one hand, and outlet points (25b, 26b) for non-converted educts, namely a fuel gas (6) and the oxygen carrier, on the other hand. The heat exchanger (4) includes a passage system (4) through which the exhaust gas (7) and the oxygen carrier (5) flow largely in transverse planes disposed perpendicular to the axis of the cell stack (10) in one operating state of the battery.
