  • Patent number: 10816182
    Abstract: An LED illumination apparatus module includes a light-emitting component and a mounting base. The light-emitting component includes a load board, a wire, a circuit board, and one or more light-emitting diodes. The light-emitting diode is disposed on the load board, and the wire electrically connects the light-emitting diode and the circuit board. The mounting base includes an LED assembly portion and a frame. The LED assembly portion includes a mounting surface and the load board is fixed on the mounting surface. An end of the frame is connected to the mounting surface of the LED assembly portion. The frame includes a body portion and a circuit board fixing structure. The circuit board fixing structure is disposed on the body portion, and the circuit board is fixed to the circuit board fixing structure. The light-emitting components are mounted on the base in a modularized manner.

  • Patent number: 8883360
    Abstract: A burner reformer is provided for a power generating system using fuel cell. A burner is contained inside the reformer. The reformer absorbs heat from the burner and other heat source to reduce heat loss and save connecting wires. The present invention avoids flashing back of hydrogen. When fuel is lean, flame would not easily die and the system can thus work stably.

  • Patent number: 8197975
    Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell unit, a reformer with a catalyst and heat pipes around the catalyst, and a combustor connected to the heat pipes. A first fuel pipe sends fuel into the reformer. The fuel is reformed in the reformer. A first air port sends air into the reformer. An anode pipe sends the reformed fuel into the fuel cell unit. The chemical reaction of the reformed fuel occurs in the fuel cell unit. A cathode pipe sends the air into the fuel cell unit. A residual reformed fuel pipe sends residual reformed fuel into the combustor. A hot air pipe sends hot air into the combustor. The residual reformed fuel pipe is mixed with the hot air and burned in the combustor. A second fuel pipe sends more fuel into the combustor if necessary. A second air port sends air into the combustor if necessary.

  • Publication number: 20110171546
    Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell system includes a fuel cell unit for generating electricity via executing an electrochemical reaction on fuel, a fuel supply for storing the natural gas, water and air and a re-composing unit for re-composing natural gas, water and air into the fuel. A pipe transfers the natural gas, water and air into the re-composing unit from the fuel supply. Another pipe transfers the fuel into the fuel cell unit from the re-composing unit. Another pipe transfers hot air into the re-composing unit from the fuel cell unit. A mixing unit mixes air with residual fuel from the fuel cell unit. A combusting unit burns the mixture from the mixing unit. A heat-exchanging unit executes heat-exchanging between air and the exhaust from the combusting unit. The heat-exchanging unit includes an air-inletting port, an exhaust port and another port for sending hot air into the fuel cell unit.
