Abstract

A package consisted of a vacuum insulator and a heat exchanger was designed to enable power sources based on micro-SOFCs fueled by liquid fuels thermal sustainability and consistency with other electronics in mobile electronic devices. Gas-liquid heat exchanger worked for cooling the edge of the thermal insulator and recovering the latent and sensible heat of exhaust gases. Numerical analysis using a finite element method and experiment using a prototype package revealed that applying of liquid fuels based on methanol could reduce the surface temperature of the package lower than 85 oC at the operation temperature lower than 500 oC, and thermal sustain operation could be archived by heat recovering at this range.
