Abstract
The Institute of Energy Research - Fuel Cells (IEF-3) develops fuel processing systems for APU applications based on autothermal reforming of middle distillates. The long term stability of reforming using commercial diesel fuel and desulphurised Jet A-1 has already been proven using innovative reactors. A special requirement from the system is the capability to be brought into operation in the fastest time possible. Three systems for different fuel cell types were designed. For each system, necessary reactors were identified and modeled mostly based on reactors developed and tested in Juelich. Afterwards, the related reactor models were combined with each other with the aim of efficient heat integration to form fuel processing systems for an SOFC, a PEFC and an HT-PEFC. Start-up strategies were developed and simulated for each system. Finally, the start-up strategy for the HT-PEFC system was further optimized.
