Fuel-Flexible Fuel Cell Systems for Military Power Generator

Fuel Cell Systems offer high efficiency, quiet, clean, low signature power generation. To be useful for military applications they must use commonly available logistic fuels: JP8 is the primary fuel of choice. This paper reports the results of 1000 hour tests of innovative hardware to desulfurize and reform JP8. Results from early testing of a 6 kW fully integrated PEM fuel cell system operating on JP8 are also presented.
