Abstract
For portable applications, a fuel cell often experiences frequent startups and shutdowns. Therefore the startup and shutdown behaviors are critical to a portable solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and SOFC system. This paper discusses propane-fueled and thermally self-sustained SOFC hot zones and their startup characteristics in terms of temperatures, time, fuel and air utilization, O/C ratio, and repeatability.
