SAFARI

SAFARI

SAFARI designed and optimised a 100We mSOFC stack, to integrate into a truck cab power system.  The mSOFC from ADE was integrated together with a battery and appliances found in a modern truck manufactured by IVECO. The system comprised a gas processor to clean up liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel, plus other equipment for Balance of Plant (BoP) and a heater/chiller. LNG was selected as an increasingly important fuel for trucks across the EU, with lower costs and much lower emissions than diesel trucks. In addition it is modular with potential for extending truck applications. The main benefit for the truck manufacturer is reduced emissions from LNG boil-off.
