摘要：

This paper covers the research activities performed at the CNR Institute for Advanced Energy Technologies "Nicola Giordano", aimed at developing, assembling and testing a hydrogen generator HYGen II, to integrate with a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) for stationary applications. The unit can convert light hydrocarbons (methane, propane, LPG, butane), with a nominal hydrogen production of 5 Nm(3) h(-1) and a maximum hydrogen production of 8.5 Nm(3) h(-1). Prototyping design issues and preliminary experimental results, with a proprietary Pt/CeO2 catalyst for the autothermal reforming (ATR) and commercial catalysts for intermediate water gas shift (ITWS) and preferential oxidation (PROX), have been reported.
