CSTT Update: Fuel Quality Analyzer

Presentation summary: A Nafion® based, electrochemical hydrogen contaminant detector was tested at H2Frontier hydrogen filling station in Burbank CA during its refit and recommissioning.; A 100 sccm sample was taken from the H2F production skid and without requiring humidification; both real-time product gas and storage gas was sampled. The selfhumidifying approach using an internal reservoir worked with minimal baseline drift.; The LANL HCD easily detected CO byproduct during reformer restart (as high as 18ppm) and 11, 1ppm challenges were performed during an 850h experiment after initial installation and 10ppm testing/commissioning.; The 10ppm and 1ppm challenges produced ≈ 75% and ≈ 60% reductions in pumping current respectively. Twelve, 1ppm challenges decreased pumping current on average of 59.5% with an error of ±1.4% over 12 challenges during a 6 month time period.; Long term baseline data show a drift rate of 9x10- 7 A/h over a 600h period of testing. The addition of a 1.5V, 600s pulse approximately once a day eliminated any long term drift.; No false positives or false negatives were seen during the field tests to date.; Average water consumption rate is estimated to be ~250μl/day at 100sccm.; Project milestones successfully met.
