摘要
Based on the reversal reaction of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), high temperature electrolysis (HTE) is an effective way for large-scale and low cost hydrogen production. The problem restricted the development for HTE is the stability of steam supplying, conversion rate of steam to H-2, hydrogen production rate and the durability of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) and stacks. To solve the problems mentioned above, a steam and gas fogged mixer (SGFM) was designed which can be used for not only experimental HTE but also large-scale hydrogen production. A 30-cell SOEC stack was tested combined with the mixer for 1000 hours at 800 degrees C with an electrolysis current of 4 A. The steam-to-hydrogen conversion (SC) rate was calculated to be 70% by determining the water amount at the inlet and outlet of the hydrogen electrode. The hydrogen production rate was 99.3 NL/h.
