Quick Starting Fuel Processors - A Feasibility Study

Project Summary

Full Title: Quick Starting Fuel Processors - A Feasibility Study
Project ID: 164
Principal Investigator: Shabbir Ahmed
Brief Description: This project studied the feasibility of fast-starting fuel processors to meet DOE goals for on-board fuel processing.
Keywords: On-board fuel processor

Purpose

Study the feasibility of developing fast-starting fuel processors that can meet DOE’s targets, investigate designs and strategies capable of meeting the start-up targets, and validate models using experimental and hardware data.

Project Description

Type of Project: Analysis
Category: Vehicle Options
Objectives: Estimate the energy consumed by the fuel processor during start-up; design, fabricate, and demonstrate the fast-starting capability of a laboratory-scale fuel processor; conduct a collaborative effort with DOE labs and private industry; and model fuel cell system designs to estimate the lifetime (start-up and drive cycle) fuel usage.
