Introduction• Hydrocarbon fuels such as methanol and
butane have much larger chemical energy density than electric energy density in existing batteries• direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC)• polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC)
• PEFC using hydrogen as a fuel has one order of magnitude higher power density compared to DMFCs
• But !hydrogen is problematic in storage.• reforming hydrocarbons, storing hydrogen in
metal hydride, high-pressure containers and carbon nanostmctures, and producing hydrogen from chemical hydrides
• In this study, we have developed a fuel and air supply system for a combustor in a micro fuel reformer.
Introduction
System and components• Fuel reforming system
• micro valve and an ejector.• The valve regulates pressurized fuel gas• the ejector supplies air with the fuel to the combustor• In this study, iso-butane is used as a fuel
System and components (Micro valve)
• Micro valve• largely-deformable corrugated diaphragm• two small electrostatic valves.
• Design goal• low electric power consumption• low pressure loss• normally-closed operation for pressurized
fuel.
• The corrugated diaphragm is actuated by the vapor pressure of liquid gas
• The pressure to actuate the corrugated diaphragm is controlled by two small electrostatic valves
Micro valve
• The ejector is composed of a nozzle, a mixing section and a diffuser.
System and components (Ejector)
Simulation and Result • primary pressure and entrainment ratio which
is defined as the ratio of the mass flow rate of the secondary flow to that of the primary flow.
Conclusion • This paper described an ejector and a micro
valve used in a fuel and air supply system for a micro combustor.
• The CFD simulation of the ejector was performed
• The pressure loss is as low as 11 Pa/sccm, and the electrostatic valve controlled butane with a pressure of 220 Wa at a driving voltage of 40 V.
