This reading list links to public records of FluidCELL-related research. It is maintained by the current independent publication, which did not carry out the former project's work.
Membrane-reformer concept
Advanced m-CHP fuel cell system based on a novel bio-ethanol fluidized bed membrane reformer describes the project's proposed reformer and contemporary work on catalysts, membranes and reactor components. The Eindhoven University of Technology record provides bibliographic information and access options. 1
Read it as a paper from the research period. Its forward-looking objectives are not a substitute for the final report's account of system integration.
Comparison of European membrane-reactor projects
Di Marcoberardino and colleagues' Achievements of European projects on membrane reactor for hydrogen production appeared in the Journal of Cleaner Production, volume 161, pages 1442–1450, in 2017. It discusses FERRET, FluidCELL and BIONICO, with natural gas and biofuel applications. 2
Its system layouts and simulation results help explain the proposed efficiency benefits. The membrane-reactor engineering guide discusses how to distinguish those calculations from later prototype results.
Fuel-cell operation and hydrogen quality
Politecnico di Milano's repository records Optimization of PEM Fuel Cell Operation with High-purity Hydrogen Produced by a Membrane Reactor. The record describes micro-cogeneration with a membrane reformer and PEM fuel cell in FluidCELL.
The underlying integration question is whether hydrogen flow and contaminant levels suit the stack. The modern fuel-quality explanation introduces that issue without assigning one universal purity percentage to every PEM system.
Final report and results register
The CORDIS final report summary records component development, prototype work and difficulties during complete-system integration. It is the necessary companion to earlier concept and modelling papers. 3
CORDIS also maintains a results record, which retrieves publication and deliverable links from research services. The availability of individual documents depends on their original hosts. 4
Using this reading list
Publisher and repository access conditions differ. A public bibliographic record does not grant permission to redistribute its full text or figures. The current site links to the records and writes its own explanations.
