Embodiment Construction

[0027] Such as figure 1 As shown, the power generation device 1 of the present invention has a fuel cell 2 and a gas flow path 3 . A plurality of fuel cells 2 are arranged at intervals (in figure 1 3 in the example), and this interval is formed as the gas flow path 3 . exist figure 1 In an example, the fuel cells 2 are in the shape of a flat plate, and the side edges of the respective fuel cells 2 are connected by walls 4 . Therefore, the gas flow path 3 is formed into a tubular shape by cooperation of the fuel cell 2 and the wall body 4 . The fuel cell 2 has a fuel electrode 5, an air electrode 6, and an electrolyte layer 7 made of a solid oxide tightly sandwiched therebetween. By arranging the fuel cells 2 side by side, the fuel electrode 5 of the fuel cell 2 is exposed in the gas flow path 3 , and the air electrode 6 of the other fuel cell 2 is exposed.

[0028] In the gas flow path 3, both fuel gas and air (for example, the exhaust gas of an automobile) are circulated...

Abstract

This generator device (1) is provided with: a fuel electrode (5) that receives a supply of fuel gas; an air electrode (6) that receives a supply of air; an electrolyte layer (7) sandwiched between the fuel electrode (5) and the air electrode (6); a gas duct (3) to at least a portion of which the fuel electrode (5) or air electrode (6) is exposed and through which the fuel gas or air flows; a porous body (8) that fills the interior of the gas duct (3); and a porous sheet (9) that is interposed in a manner so as to contact the porous body (8) and the fuel electrode (5) or the air electrode (6), and that comprises a material having electrical conductivity and is formed having a uniform distribution of pores having a larger diameter than that of the pores formed in the porous body (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a power generation device that supplies fuel gas to a fuel electrode of a fuel cell to generate power. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is composed of a fuel electrode and an air electrode sandwiching an electrolyte. Fuel gas and the like are supplied thereto to generate power. In particular, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) connects a fuel electrode (hydrogen electrode) and an air electrode (oxygen electrode) to an electrolyte composed of a solid oxide, supplies fuel gas to the fuel electrode, and supplies air to the air electrode. And can generate high output power. In addition, solid oxide fuel cells can use not only hydrogen gas as fuel gas but also gas containing a large amount of carbon monoxide (for example, exhaust gas from vehicles driven by internal combustion engines such as automobiles) as fuel gas. [0003] Patent Document 1 describes such a solid oxide fuel cell. In this battery, the fuel electr...
