Operational Characteristics of Coin Type Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell Fueled by Ash Free Coal

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents behavior of molten carbonate fuel cell fueled by ash free coal. Comparison between AFC and hydrogen as a fuel for MCFC is presented. Then, simulation gases expected from gasified ash free coal were investigated. The simulations were provided for different composition of gases based on results of AFC gasification. Current-voltage curves for investigated cases are presented as well as results are discussed.
