  • Abstract
    Carbon dioxide (CO2) recycle configuration using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is examined in the indirect internal reforming molten carbonate fuel cell (IIR-MCFC) system. It is shown that the CO2 PSA makes the system efficiency higher than in an ordinary combustion process. A test plant was fabricated in order to evaluate the PSA performance in the IIR-MCFC system. The experimental results with respect to CO2 recovery ratio, purity, and pressure fluctuations in both electrode chambers are acceptable
