Solid oxide fuel cell system steam generator
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230411658A1) describes a steam generator for a solid oxide fuel cell system. The steam generator includes a water inlet pipe, a casing, and a heat exchange device within the casing. A heat exchange cavity is formed between the heat exchange device and the casing, allowing liquid water input through the water inlet pipe to exchange heat with the device and form steam. The casing also features a steam exhaust port and a steam-water separation grid.
Additionally, the steam generator includes a water tank for water supply, a circulating steam pipe connected to the water tank and the steam-water separation grid, a first temperature sensor, and an on-off valve. The system also incorporates a thermal insulating layer on the water inlet pipe, with specific thickness ranges and options for insulating cavity fillings. Other components such as a regulating valve, pressure sensor, second temperature sensor, and a water drop device with water droppers are also part of the steam generator. The patent further extends to a solid oxide fuel cell system comprising a reforming device and the described steam generator.
