Performance analysis of HT-PEFC stacks
The performance analysis of a five-cell HT-PEFC stack is presented. The stack was operated either with pure hydrogen or synthetic reformate on the anode side and air on the cathode side. The overall electric performance and the heat management were analyzed. The local performance was assessed by current density and temperature distribution measurements. For this purpose, a tailor-made measuring board was integrated into the stack assembly. It is shown how the choice of fuel gas composition, reactant stoichiometry, flow direction and cooling affect the current density and temperature distribution.
