Abstract:

Phosphoric acid fuel cells and fuel cell stacks were evaluated operating on simulated product gases from a methanol reformer. Three-cell stack performance in a start-upshut-down cycling mode was investigated. Improved matrix and electrode formulations were utilized later in the program, and these components accumulated a total of 8496 hours of testing and 268 shut-down cycles. Author
