The possibility of using a μ‐fan in tubular solid oxide fuel cells module (SOFC‐M) is shown. The μ‐fan is placed instead of the ejector and fulfills its role. The main advantages of this solution are: lower power demanded by the fuel compressor (blower), more stable working characteristics, and the possibility of more accurate control of the recycled part of the anode gas during part load operation. A comparison of two SOFC‐Ms, with and without the ejector, is also shown and commented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
