[0059] Please refer to the following Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The main body of the burner 300 is composed of a positioning tube 340 and a temperature regulating tube 350. The positioning tube 340 is configured as a tube with a closed bottom end, and the temperature regulating tube 350 is configured as a tube with open ends.

The outer diameter of the temperature regulating tube 350 also corresponds to the inner diameter of the bottom of the reforming heat exchanger 200, so that the temperature regulating tube 350 can be easily connected to the reforming heat exchanger 200.

[0060] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The positioning cylinder 340 is provided with a premixer 330, a wind chamber baffle 341 and a premixing air cover 342. The wind chamber baffle 341 is located at the upper part of the positioning cylinder 340, and the space below the wind chamber baffle 341 constitutes a heat preservation chamber 343. The heat preservation chamber 343 is at least partially filled with heat preservation materials to isolate the high temperature of the temperature regulating cylinder 350 and ensure the safety of the air inlet end of the gas inlet pipe 310 when the burner 300 is running.

[0061] The premixing hood 342 is located above the air chamber partition 341 and connected to the air chamber partition 341. The premixing hood 342 and the positioning cylinder 340 are roughly concentric structures, and the space between the premixing hood 342 and the side wall of the positioning cylinder 340 constitutes an air distribution chamber 344. A positioning port is provided at the upper part of the premixing hood 342, and the temperature regulating cylinder 350 is connected to the premixing hood 342 through a positioning block 352. The premixer 330 is arranged inside the premixing hood 342 and passes through the air chamber partition 341, and a perforation is provided on the outer wall of the premixer 330. A plurality of small holes are provided on the premixing hood 342, each of which has a diameter of about 8 mm, and the plurality of small holes are arranged in a circle, so that the premixer 330 is connected to the air distribution chamber 344 via the perforation and the small holes on the premixing hood 342.

[0062] The gas inlet pipe 310 passes through the positioning cylinder 340 from the bottom of the burner 300 and is connected to the premixer 330, which is used to input fuel into the premixer 330; one end of the air inlet pipe 320 is connected to the air distribution chamber 344, and the other end is connected to the cathode exhaust port of the fuel cell stack. A gas nozzle 311 is provided at the top of the gas inlet pipe 310, and the fuel from the gas inlet pipe 310 is sprayed into the premixer 330 through the gas nozzle 311, and the air and fuel from the cathode of the fuel cell stack are mixed into a mixed gas in the premixer 330.

[0063] The bottom of the temperature regulating cylinder 350 is provided with an air distribution plate 351, on which air distribution holes are opened. The temperature regulating cylinder 350 also has a combustion nozzle 331, an ignition device 332, a flame detection device 333 and a flame protection cover 353. The combustion nozzle 331 is arranged above the premixer 330 and is connected to the premixer 330. The mixed gas mixed in the premixer 330 is ejected from the combustion nozzle 331. The combustion nozzle 331 is preferably made of a conductive material. The top surface of the combustion nozzle 331 is provided with 8 2mm jet holes so that the mixed gas can be evenly ejected.

[0064] The ignition device 332 and the flame detection device 333 are arranged on both sides of the combustion nozzle 331, and the three are spaced apart. The ignition device 332 is used to emit an arc to the combustion nozzle 331 to ignite the mixed gas. The flame detection device 333 is used to detect the combustion condition of the flame. When successful ignition is detected, the ignition device 332 stops discharging. The flame protection cover 353 is constructed in a cylindrical shape and is sleeved on the outside of the flame detection device 333, the ignition device 332 and the combustion nozzle 331, and is used to maintain the stability of the flame when burning with a large air volume and / or low temperature.

[0065] In addition, the upper part of the premixer 330 is constructed as a variable diameter structure that is narrow at first and wide at the end, so as to increase the speed at which the mixed gas enters the combustion nozzle 331. The variable diameter structure may be a venturi structure. A flame viewing hole 360 ​​is provided at the bottom of the positioning cylinder 340 for observing the combustion of the flame. The flame viewing hole 360 ​​extends into the heat preservation chamber 343 and passes through the heat preservation material so as to observe the flame. The flame viewing hole 360 ​​is preferably used in conjunction with the flame detection device 333 to detect the start-up state of the burner.

[0066] An air flow regulating valve is provided on the air inlet pipe 320, and a gas regulating valve is provided on the gas inlet pipe 310 to facilitate the regulation of the flow. The bottom of the burner 300 also has a fastening base for fixing the burner 300, and the fastening base is preferably a flange.

[0067] For the operation of burner 300, please refer to Figure 5 The air from the cathode of the stack is divided into primary air and secondary air in the air distribution chamber 344. The primary air passes through the air distribution chamber 344, the small holes of the premixing air cover 342 and the primary air flow path of the premixer 330 in sequence and enters the premixer 330 to mix with the fuel; the secondary air passes through the air distribution chamber 344 and the secondary air flow path of the air distribution holes in sequence and enters the temperature regulating cylinder 350 to mix with the smoke generated by combustion and perform afterburning.

[0068] Specifically, the burner 300 provides heat for the reforming reaction during the startup phase of the natural gas reforming device 100. A blower is provided at the cathode inlet of the fuel cell stack, so that the air flows through the cathode and is discharged from the cathode exhaust port, and then enters the air distribution chamber 344 through the air inlet pipe 320. The primary air first enters the premixing hood 342 through the small holes on the premixing hood 342, and then enters the premixer 330 through the perforations on the outer wall of the premixer 330 to mix with the fuel into a mixed gas. The mixed gas is ejected from the combustion nozzle 331 and ignited by the ignition device 332 to heat the reforming heat exchanger 200. The secondary air directly passes upward through the air distribution holes into the reforming heat exchanger 200 to supplement oxygen so that the fuel is completely burned.

[0069] As the electrochemical reaction in the stack proceeds, the temperature of the stack gradually increases, and the temperature of the cathode gas also gradually increases, and it contains some unreacted oxygen. The high-temperature cathode gas enters the reforming heat exchanger 200 from the burner 300, and the sensible heat carried by the cathode gas provides heat for the reforming reaction.

[0070] Therefore, after the startup phase, the maintenance phase begins, and the heat generated by the reaction of the fuel cell stack and the sensible heat carried by the cathode gas are used to maintain the reforming reaction, which can reduce or even shut down the fuel input in the burner 300.

[0071] The present invention also provides a SOFC power generation system, comprising a fuel cell stack, a natural gas reforming device 100 and a control device. The fuel cell stack is a solid oxide fuel cell, in which a temperature sensor is arranged.

[0072] The supplementary combustion gas regulating valve, the fuel gas regulating valve and the air flow regulating valve can all be electrically controlled regulating valves. The control device is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, the ignition device 332, the supplementary combustion gas regulating valve, the fuel gas regulating valve and the air flow regulating valve, and is configured to control the opening of the supplementary combustion gas regulating valve, the fuel gas regulating valve and the air flow regulating valve according to the temperature of the fuel cell stack.

[0073] Specifically, the control device is further configured to control the gas regulating valve and the air flow regulating valve to open during the startup phase of the SOFC power generation system, and control the ignition device 332 to ignite so as to heat the reforming heat exchanger 200 .

[0074] When the temperature in the reforming heat exchanger 200 reaches the reforming reaction temperature, the reforming heat exchanger 200 starts to deliver reforming gas to the anode of the fuel cell stack, and an electrochemical reaction starts to occur in the fuel cell stack.

[0075] As the reaction in the stack proceeds, the temperature of the stack gradually increases, and the temperature of the cathode gas and the anode gas also gradually increases, and can be returned to the reforming heat exchanger 200 for additional heating. At this time, the control device controls the gas regulating valve to reduce the opening as the temperature rises, thereby reducing fuel consumption.

[0076] As the electrochemical reaction in the stack proceeds, the temperature of the cathode gas and the anode gas can reach or exceed the reforming reaction temperature, at which time the control device controls the gas regulating valve to close. The startup phase of the SOFC power generation system ends and enters the maintenance phase, using the heat generated by the stack reaction and the reaction heat of the cathode gas and the anode gas to maintain the reforming reaction in the reforming heat exchanger 200, without the need for external fuel input, which can save energy and reduce consumption, and has high economic and social benefits.
