Patent ID: 8642229

Claim:
An electrochemical reactor module, comprising: a plurality of electrochemical reactor units ( 13 ) consisting of bundles ( 11 ) arranged in fuel supply holes ( 14 ) of a fuel supply means, and a structure for supplying air directly to the entire electrochemical reactor module ( 19 ), wherein the electrochemical reactor units ( 13 ) are mounted with changeable unit spacing to control air flow amount and mounted to a fuel supply pipe ( 17 ), wherein the electrochemical reactor bundle ( 11 ) comprises a plurality of tube-type electrochemical reactor cells ( 6 ) constituted by a tube with a micro-size diameter and having a tube structure which cells are housed in a porous material body as a porous collector ( 7 ) in which the tube-type electrochemical reactor cells are oriented in one dimensional direction and are arranged on a plane having protruding anode exposed parts ( 5 ) of the cells, wherein the cells are electrically connected in series, wherein the tube structure is an anode tube structure constituting an anode tube ( 2 ), an electrolyte layer ( 1 ) on the anode tube and a cathode ( 3 ) is disposed on the outside of electrolyte ( 1 ), the anode exposed part ( 5 ) on which no electrolyte is laminated is formed at one end of the anode tube ( 2 ), the thickness of the tube is at most 0.5 mm, and the diameter of the tube is micro-size being no more than 2 mm, wherein the upper face of the porous collector ( 7 ) is covered by a sealing layer ( 8 ), the tube cells ( 6 ) are connected by a metal wire of a collecting member ( 9 ) wound around the anode exposed parts ( 5 ) and are connected to a collector sheet ( 10 ), and wherein the electrochemical reactor module ( 19 ) is disposed in a module housing case ( 23 ), and wherein an air inlet ( 21 ) and an air outlet ( 22 ) are formed in said housing case ( 23 ) so that air ( 20 ) is supplied directly to the entire module ( 19 ).
