Abstract
Content
A description is given of the program at the Los Alamos National Laboratory for testing a state-of-the-art acid fuel cell system for automotive applications.
The system comprises a fuel cell stack, fuel processing system, and the equipment necessary for stack cooling and system integration. The specific tests relevant to operation of the fuel cell power plant in a vehicular environment and the measurement system are described. The results of computer simulation studies are presented showing the predicted performance of the test power plant in an electric vehicle.
