Abstract
A fuel processor for autothermal reforming of diesel fuel into synthesis gas is developed and tested. The developed reactor is demonstrated to possess a fast start-up and high efficiency. During the tests, complete conversion of diesel fuel and the composition of reaction products close to equilibrium values were achieved. The thermal circuit of a power plant based on a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with the electrical power of 1 kW was optimized. The results obtained are the basis for the further development of a real prototype of a power plant based on planar SOFC with an integrated diesel fuel processor, opening up the prospects in the area of making low-power electrochemical generators.
