Ziel

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE R&D WORK IS TO DEVELOP AND PROVE THE PRACTICAL FEASIBILITY OF A COMPACT MODULAR AND EFFICIENT CO2 FROM AIR REMOVAL DEVICE, WHICH CAN BE INTEGRATED EASILY WITH ALKALINE HYDROGENE-AIR FUEL CELL STICKS, THE LATTER BEING USED FOR PROVIDING POWER TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

THE R&D WORK WOULD ESSENTIALLY CONSIST OF THREE PHASES:

1.- THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CO2-REMOVAL DEVICE.
A) THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE POROUS ABSORPTION LAYER:
MADE WITH SIMILAR MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY AS ELENCO 'S POROUS ELECTRODE LAYERS, THESE LAYERS WILL BE A " SANDWICH " OF TWO POROUS FILMS, BASED ON PTFE: ONE TO STOP THE ALKALINE ABSORBENT OF GOING INTO THE AIR CHAMBERS, AND THE OTHER ONE ENSURING A LARGE CONTACT AREA BETWEEN LIQUID AND GAS PHASES THROUGH A SUITABLY MIXED HYDROPHILIC - HYDROPHOBIC POROSITY;

B) THE INTEGRATION INTO A COMPACT MODULE:
THE ADVANCED FUEL CELL MODULE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY, DEVELOPED BY ELENCO, WILL HAVE TO BE SOMEWHAT ADAPTED TO COMPLY WITH THE DIFFERENT NATURE AND COMPOSITION OF THE CO2-ABSORPTION LAYERS AS COMPARED WITH THE FUEL CELL ELECTRODES.

2.- TESTING PROGRAMMES.
ON THE ONE HAND THE TESTING OF THE CO2-ABSORPTION DEVICES DEVELOPED, AND ON THE OTHER HAND TESTS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE REMAINING CO2-CONTENT ON THE ACTUAL FUEL CELL PERFORMANCE, THE REMAINING CO2-CONTENT BEING ONE OF THE KEY PARAMETERS OF THE WHOLE PROJECT.

3.- ASSESSMENT AND OPTIMIZATION.
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TEST PROGRAMMES, A PERMANENT ASSESSMENT AND, ULTIMATELY, AN OPTIMIZATION OF THE DEVICE IN TERMS OF WEIGHT, VOLUME, COST AND OVERALL ECONOMICS WILL BE CARRIED OUT.
