Abstract
The development process for complex 3D ceramic structures in the integrated evaporator, mixer, reformer and combustor (EMRC) system for the production of hydrogen needed in portable polymer-electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells is presented. Low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology was used to fabricate the ceramic structures of the system. The process started with the design and fabrication of each separate (stand-alone) component, which was developed and tested, and then optimized to fulfill the requirements for the integrated EMRC system. The final 3D ceramic structure consists of 45 LTCC tapes (Du Pont 951PX). The dimensions of the structure are 75 × 41 × 9 mm3 and the weight is about 73 g.
