Patent CA-2775173-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FISHER GREG
IPC: B01D27/10
Filed: 2005-04-25
Abstract: An apparatus and method for filtering a liquid utilize a filter apparatus including a bypass filter, a full flow filter, and a flow balancing element for dividing a total inlet flow of fluid to the filter apparatus into a bypass portion, passing through the bypass filter, and a full flow portion, passing through the full flow filter. The bypass filter has a lower filtering efficiency than the full flow filter element, so that a venturi tube is not required for causing the bypass portion to pass through the bypass filter. The flow balancing element divides the flow into a desired bypass portion and a desired full flow portion, at a predetermined operating temperature. Below the operating temperature, the bypass portion increases and the fill flow portion decreases, the bypass portion becoming greater than the full flow portion at a second predetermined temperature below the operating temperature.

Title: Anode for a high-temperature fuel cell and the production thereof
Inventor: MUCKE ROBERT
IPC: H01M8/12
Filed: 2010-11-04
Abstract: The substrate-supported anode for a high-temperature fuel cell according to the invention comprises an at least three-layer anode laminate (A1, A2, A3) on a metallic substrate. Each of the individual layers of the anode laminate comprises yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and nickel, wherein the mean particle size of the nickel decreases from one layer to the next as the distance from the substrate increases. The last layer of the anode laminate, which is provided for the contact with the electrolyte, has a root mean square roughness R q, which within the scope of the invention is also referred to as mean surface roughness, of less than 4 µm. The overall mean pore size of this layer is typically between 0.3 and 1.5 pm. In the method for producing such a substrate-supported anode for a high-temperature fuel cell, starting powders having a bimodal particle size distribution of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and nickell-containing powder are used at least for the first and second layers of the anode laminate. The mean particle size of the nickel-containing powder that is used is reduced from one layer to the next, whereby it is advantageously no more than 0.5 pm in the last layer of the anode laminate.
