The plants achieve 40 percent LHV electric efficiency, and overall use of the fuel energy approaches 80 percent for cogeneration applications (6). Operations confirm that rejected heat from the initial PAFC plants can be used for heating water, space heating, and low pressure steam. One plant has completed over 50,000 hours of operation, and a number of plants have operated over 40,000 hours (6). Fourteen additional plants have operated over 35,000 hours. The longest continuous run stands at 9,500 hours for a unit purchased by Tokyo Gas for use in a Japanese office building (9). This plant ended its duration record because it had to be shut down because of mandated maintenance. It is estimated at this time that cell stacks can achieve a life of 5 to 7 years. The fleet has attained an average of over 95 percent availability. The latest model, the PC-25C, is expected to achieve over 96 percent. The plants have operated on natural gas, propane, butane, landfill gas (10,11), hydrogen (12), and gas from anaerobic digestors (13). Emissions are so low (see Figure 1-4) that the plant is exempt from air permitting in the South Coast and Bay Area (California) Air Quality Management Districts, which have the most stringent limits in the U.S. The sound pressure level is 62 dBA at 9 meters (30 feet) from the unit. The PC-25 has been subjected to ambient conditions varying from -32 °C to +49 °C and altitudes from sea level to 1600 meters (~1 mile). Impressive ramp rates result from the solid state electronics. The PC-25 can be ramped at 10 kW/sec up or down in the grid connected mode. The ramp rate for the grid independent mode is idle to full power in ~one cycle or essentially one-step instantaneous from idle to 200 kW. Following the initial ramp to full power, the unit can adjust at an 80 kW/sec ramp up or down in one cycle. The fuel cell stacks are made and assembled into units at an 80,000 ft2 facility located in South Windsor, Connecticut, U.S. Low cost/high volume production depends on directly insertable sub-assemblies as complete units and highly automatic processes such as robotic component handling and assembly. The stack assembly is grouped in a modified spoke arrangement to allow for individual manufacturing requirements of each of the cell components while bringing them in a continuous flow to a central stacking elevator (14). 1-17

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
