Phosphoric Acid Fuel cell Used in hospitals, nursing homes and for all commercial purposes Electrolyte: Liquid Phosphoric acid Catalyst: platinum Electrical efficiency of 40% Advantages :using impure hydrogen as fuel and 85% of the steam can be used for cogeneration Working Diagram Contd … The anode and cathode reactions are the same as those in the PEM fuel cell with the cathode reaction occurring at a faster rate due to the higher operating temperature. The increased temperature also imparts a slightly higher tolerance to impurities and phosphoric acid cells can function with 1-2 per cent carbon monoxide and a few ppm of sulphur in the reactant streams. Simple construction, stability and low electrolyte volatility Disadvantages Disadvantages: uses expensive platinum as catalyst Large size and weight Low power and current Existing PAFC’s have outputs of 200kw and 1Mw are being tested External Reforming Internal Reforming of Fuel Major Fuel cell Plant IMP.
