  • Patent number: 11749817
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a nozzle for combustion and reforming reaction including a fuel pipe, a reformer, an activation pipe, an activation catalyst, and a reformation catalyst. The fuel pipe includes an annular wall and an end wall connected to an end of the annular wall. The fuel pipe has at least one vent hole penetrating through the annular wall and at least one outlet penetrating through the end wall. The reformer is disposed in the fuel pipe. The activation pipe is disposed in the fuel pipe and disposed through the reformer. A distance between the activation pipe and the outlet is larger than a distance between the vent hole and the outlet. The activation catalyst is arranged in the activation pipe. The reformation catalyst is arranged in the reformer and located outside the activation pipe. The disclosure also provides a combustor and a fuel cell system having the nozzle.

  • Patent number: 11656032
    Abstract: A high-temperature flow-splitting component, applicable to a temperature range from a first temperature to a second temperature, includes an entrance channel, at least one primary channel and at least one subordinate channel. The entrance channel is used for introducing a fluid at a total flow rate. The at least one primary channel for introducing the fluid from the entrance channel at a first flow rate is connected with the entrance channel by a first angle ranging from 90°˜270°. The at least one subordinate channel for introducing the fluid from the entrance channel at a second flow rate is connected with the at least one primary channel by a second angle ranging from 30°˜150°. A sum of the first flow rate and the second flow rate is equal to the total flow rate.
