Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. - Allentown PA
International Classification:

B01J 7/00
C01B 3/22
C01B 3/24
C01B 3/26
H01M 8/06
US Classification:

4236481, 48 61, 48197 R, 252373, 423650, 423651, 423652, 429425
Abstract:

Embodiments of a compact pressure swing reformer are disclosed. Certain embodiments have a construction comprising multiple rotating reformer beds, high temperature rotary valves at the bed ends, and E-seals to seal the beds to the valves. Several possible designs for introducing reactants into the beds also are disclosed. The multiple reformer beds are configured to provide for pressure equalization and ‘steam push’. The compact pressure swing reformer is suitable for use in fuel cell vehicle applications.

US Patent:

20060183009, Aug 17, 2006
Filed:

Jan 20, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/336208
Inventors:

Paul Berlowitz - Glen Gardner NJ, US
Rajeev Agnihotri - Fairfax VA, US
Frank Hershkowitz - Liberty Corner NJ, US
Novica Rados - Fairfax VA, US
Jeffrey Frederick - Centreville VA, US
International Classification:

H01M 8/06
US Classification:

429019000, 429034000, 429017000
Abstract:

A fuel cell system is provided which includes a hydrocarbon fuel processor for generating hydrogen for use in a fuel cell. The system further includes a hydrogen buffer for storing a portion of the hydrogen generated by the fuel processor. This stored hydrogen may then be used during start-up of the system was number of ways such as feed for the fuel cell, or when the fuel processor output is temporarily less than that required by the operating demand of the fuel cell.

US Patent:

20070059234, Mar 15, 2007
Filed:

Jul 25, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/492359
Inventors:

Rajeev Agnihotri - Fairfax VA, US
Paul Berlowitz - Glen Gardner NJ, US
Frank Hershkowitz - Liberty Corner NJ, US
Richard Socha - Newtown PA, US
Jeffrey Frederick - Centreville VA, US
Novica Rados - Mandeville LA, US
International Classification:

C01B 3/02
US Classification:

423648100
Abstract:

A method for producing a hydrogen containing gas for use in an internal combustion engine system is provided. The method includes cyclically operating at least two pressure swing reformer reactors such that one is reforming while another is regenerating, thereby producing a continuous stream of hydrogen containing gas. During engine operation exhaust gas is fed to the pressure swing reformer reactor that is undergoing regeneration, thereby supplying at least part of the heat for regeneration. Also, the hydrogen gas produced is used in at least one of (i) the engine; (ii) an engine exhaust treatment device; and (iii) a fuel cell.

US Patent:

20080038598, Feb 14, 2008
Filed:

Mar 28, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/391520
Inventors:

Paul Berlowitz - Glen Gardner NJ, US
Rajeev Agnihotri - Fairfax VA, US
Frank Hershkowitz - Liberty Corner NJ, US
Novica Rados - Mandeville LA, US
Jeffrey Frederick - Centreville VA, US
David Calabro - Bridgewater NJ, US
Randall Partridge - Califon NJ, US
International Classification:

H01M 8/04
H01M 8/06
US Classification:

429017000, 429019000
Abstract:

A fuel cell system is provided which includes a hydrocarbon fuel processor for generating hydrogen for use in a fuel cell. The system further includes a hydrogen buffer for storing a portion of the hydrogen generated by the fuel processor. The system further includes a staged hydrogen selective membrane providing pressurized hydrogen to the buffer. This stored hydrogen may then be used during start-up of the system in a number of ways, such as feed for the fuel cell, or when the fuel processor output is temporarily less than that required by the operating demand of the fuel cell.
