수냉식 방열을 이용한 연료전지용 PROX 반응기의 성능에 관한 실험적 연구

Abstract

Fuel cell is a device for producing electricity by using the hydrogen produced by the fuel processor. At this time, CO is also created by the fuel processor. The resulting CO enters the stack where is produce electricityand leads to the adsorption of anode catalyst, finally the CO poisoning occurs. Stack which occurred CO poisoninghas a reduction in performance and shelf life are gradually fall because they do not respond to hydrogen. In thispaper, experiments that using a PROX reactor to prevent CO poisoning were carried out for removing the COconcentration to less than 10ppm range available in the fuel cell. Furthermore experiments by the PROX reactionwas designed and manufactured with a water-cooling heat exchange reactor to maintain a suitable temperaturecontrol due to the strong exothermic reaction.
