![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Durability test and degradation behavior of a 2.5 kW SOFC stack with internal reforming of LNG Durability test and degradation behavior of a 2.5 kW SOFC stack with internal reforming of LNG](/preview/png/1274197.png)
• A 2.5 kW F20-design stack was operated with internal reforming of LNG.
• The stack showed low degradation rate under stationary operating mode.
• The stack components showed no special features from internal reforming.
• Influence of redox process depends on the initial status of the cell.
Forschungszentrum Jülich has demonstrated SOFC stacks and systems ranging from 50 W to 20 kW. Previous studies have shown the reproducible stable long-term performance of the F10-design short stacks developed in Forschungszentrum Jülich. Within this work, a 2.5 kW F20-stack consisting of eighteen cells was assembled, and tested at a furnace temperature of 700 °C mainly with the simulated reformate gas, which corresponds to 10% pre-reforming of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The current density and fuel utilization were mostly kept at 0.5 A cm−2 and 70%, respectively. The purpose was to investigate the behavior of the stack in the kW-range for at least 5000 h with internal reforming of LNG or methane at a fuel utilization of at least 60%. A voltage degradation rate of around 0.3%/1000 h was obtained during the operation with pre-reformed LNG. The stack performance under normal working conditions and an unplanned redox cycle, as well as the results from post mortem analysis are discussed.
