Title:
POWER GENERATION UNIT WITH SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/239457
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a power generation unit that increases the natural frequency and can absorb displacement due to thermal expansion. [Solution] In a power generation unit 10, a coupling block 60 integrally couples manifolds 41a, 41b, 41c on the side of one end plate 108 of a solid oxide fuel cell 40 with respective manifolds 54a, 54b, 54c of devices (a fuel reformer 51, a catalyst combustor 53, and a heat exchanger 52) in a gas processing unit (GPU) 50. The solid oxide fuel cell, the coupling block, and the GPU are coupled in a rigid state. Another end plate 109 side of the solid oxide fuel cell is secured in a rigid state to a securing plate 30 by a first securing section 70. The fuel reformer 51 of the GPU is secured in a rigid state to the securing plate 30 by a second securing section 80. Displacement absorption sections 90 absorb displacement associated with thermal expansion of the devices in the GPU 50 in one direction.
