PROJECT HESSIAN FUEL-CELL - DEMONSTRATION OF A 200 KW FUEL-CELL MODULE PC25 AT THE HESSISCHE-ELEKTRIZITATS-AG (HESSIAN UTILITY JOINT-STOCK COMPANY) IN DARMSTADT-EBERSTADT

From June 1993 until May 1994 a fully automatic fuel cell-combined hea t and power station of the type PC25 with 200 kW electric output provi ded with fuel cells of the phosphorous-acidic type was tested by the H essian Utility Joint-Stock Company. Since then the combined heat and p ower station has been operated under normal conditions. A scientifical ly accompanying programme attended to the measuring of emissions and t he investigation of the gas process engineering. The concentration of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides in the waste gases o f the fuel cell and the gas composition at the most important points o f the gas processor were measured and recorded on-line.
