7575611, Aug 18, 2009
Filed:
Aug 8, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/835747
Inventors:
Jennifer Brantley - Dublin CA, US
Kenneth Newell - Livermore CA, US
David Sopchak - Oakland CA, US
Ian W. Kaye - Livermore CA, US
Jesse Thompson - Brentwood CA, US
Arpad Somogyvari - Livermore CA, US
Assignee:
UltraCell Corporation - Livermore CA
International Classification:
B01J 7/00
US Classification:
48 61, 48119, 481279, 48128, 48 62 R, 48 89, 422188, 422189, 422190, 422191, 422193, 422198, 422211, 422222, 422236
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a fuel processor for use in a fuel cell system, may have a bottom plate, having a regenerator having a first inlet to receive an air flow, a burner flow chamber within the regenerator, the burner flow chamber having a second inlet to receive the air flow from the regenerator, and a reformer flow chamber positioned between the regenerator and the burner flow chamber, the reformer flow chamber having a third inlet to receive the air flow from the burner chamber, wherein the burner flow chamber and the reformer flow chamber is formed of a monolithic structure having an elongated, rounded baffle in the center of the monolithic structure. The fuel processor may also have a top plate coupled to the bottom plate to enclose the fuel processor, the top plate having a top surface and a bottom surface.

US Patent:
7604673, Oct 20, 2009
Filed:
Jun 25, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/877044
Inventors:
Ian W. Kaye - Livermore CA, US
Arpad Somogyvari - Livermore CA, US
Assignee:
UltraCell Corporation - Livermore CA
International Classification:
B01J 7/00
H01M 8/06
B01J 8/00
B01J 10/00
B01J 8/04
B01J 19/00
US Classification:
48 61, 481279, 422188, 422196, 422198
Abstract:
Described herein is a fuel processor that produces hydrogen from a fuel source. The fuel processor comprises a reformer and burner. The reformer includes a catalyst that facilitates the production of hydrogen from the fuel source. Voluminous reformer chamber designs are provided that increase the amount of catalyst that can be used in a reformer and increase hydrogen output for a given fuel processor size. The burner provides heat to the reformer. One or more burners may be configured to surround a reformer on multiple sides to increase thermal transfer to the reformer. Dewars are also described that increase thermal management of a fuel processor and increase burner efficiency. A dewar includes one or more dewar chambers that receive inlet air before a burner receives the air. The dewar is arranged such that air passing through the dewar chamber intercepts heat generated in the burner before the heat escapes the fuel processor.

US Patent:
20060156627, Jul 20, 2006
Filed:
Dec 19, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/313252
Inventors:
Jennifer Brantley - Dublin CA, US
Ian Kaye - Livermore CA, US
Arpad Somogyvari - Livermore CA, US
Gerry Tucker - Pleasanton CA, US
Fan Chan - Livermore CA, US
Assignee:
UltraCell Corporation - Livermore CA
International Classification:
B01J 7/00
US Classification:
048061000
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fuel processor that produces hydrogen from a fuel. The fuel processor comprises a reformer and a heater. The reformer includes a catalyst that facilitates the production of hydrogen from the fuel; the heater provides heat to the reformer. Multipass reformer and heater chambers are described that reduce fuel processor size. Single layer fuel processors include reformer and heater chambers in a compact form factor that is well suited for portable applications. Some fuel processors described herein place an electrically resistive material in contact with a thermally conductive material to heat fuel entering the fuel processor. This is particularly useful during start-up of the fuel processor. Fuel processors described may also include features that facilitate assembly.
