Patent

CA 2474270

A method for the thermal management of a fuel cell, which method comprises: processing a fuel supply stream in an autothermal reformer to produce a fuel cell supply stream comprising a concentration of methane; and reforming within the fuel cell methane present in the fuel cell supply stream, wherein the concentration of methane in the fuel cell supply stream is controlled by operation of the autothermal reformer in order to achieve a desired level of reforming of methane within the fuel cell.

L'invention concerne un procédé de gestion thermique d'une pile à combustible consistant : à traiter un courant d'alimentation en combustible dans un reformeur autothermique de façon à produire un courant d'alimentation de pile à combustible comprenant une concentration de méthane ; et à reformer, à l'intérieur de la pile à combustible, le méthane présent dans un courant d'alimentation de pile à combustible, dans lequel la concentration de méthane est commandée par actionnement du reformeur autothermique de façon à atteindre un niveau désiré de reformage de méthane à l'intérieur de la pile à combustible.
