Abstract

Abstract : At the Forschungszentrum Jülich, an SOFC subsystem was built and operated. This subsystem consists of the well-established integrated module, combined with a low temperature off-gas recirculation loop. The recirculation loop is driven by a hermetic side-channel blower that operates at gas temperatures of 160 °C. During the test phase, a system fuel utilization of 93% and electrical efficiencies of more than 60% could be demonstrated with the subsystem.
