Summary: This recommended practice is intended to serve as a design verification procedure and not a product qualification procedure. It may be used to verify design specifications or vendor claims. Test procedures, methods and definitions for the performance of the fuel processor subsystem (FPS) of a fuel cell system (FCS) are provided. Fuel processor subsystems (FPS) include all components required in the conversion of input fuel and oxidizer into a hydrogen-rich product gas stream suitable for use in fuel cells. Performance of the fuel processor subsystem includes evaluating system energy inputs and useful outputs to determine fuel conversion efficiency and where applicable the overall thermal effectiveness. Each of these performance characterizations will be determined to an uncertainty of less than ± 2% of the value. The method allows for the evaluation of fuel processor subsystems for two general cases. Compare fuel processors with different designs (e.g., catalytic partial oxidation reforming, autothermal reforming or steam reforming) on a common basis where no specific fuel cell system design has been identified. Assess the performance of a specific fuel processor in the context of a specific fuel cell system design. This document applies to all fuel processor subsystems for transportation applications regardless of fuel processor type, fuel cell type, electrical power output, thermal output, or system application (propulsion or auxiliary power unit (APU)). For example, the fuel processor subsystems associated with proton exchange, molten carbonate and solid oxide fuel cells can differ due to the requirements of the fuel cells themselves. Performance of the fuel processor subsystem, and preprocessor if applicable, is evaluated. A stand alone fuel processor “system” or even the primary reactor (e.g., autothermal, partial oxidation or steam reforming reactor) of a fuel processor subsystem that would normally be integrated into a fuel cell system can be evaluated. The fuel processor together with the preprocessor (if required) converts the fuel (gasoline or other liquid hydrocarbon) to a reformate gas consisting largely of H 2 , CO, CO 2 , H 2 O and N 2 (if air is used). After the fuel processor subsystem, reformate gas typically contains only trace levels of carbon bearing components higher than C 1 . The FPS would be evaluated in a test facility that is designed to evaluate a stand-alone component rather than a portion of the reformer such as a specific catalyst or a particular vessel design. Any fuel(s) mutually agreed to by the test parties can be used such as 1) straight run gasoline (EPA Fuel-CARB reformulated gasoline Tier II, 30 ppm sulfur), or 2) methanol or 3) hydrocarbon fuel such as iso-octane, naptha, diesel, liquefied natural gas (LNG) or LPG (propane), etc. The procedures provide a point-in-time evaluation of the performance of the fuel processor subsystem. Steady state and transient (start-up and load-following) performance are included. Methods and procedures for conducting and reporting fuel processor testing, including instrumentation to be used, testing techniques, and methods for calculating and reporting results are provided. The boundary limits for fuel and oxidant input, secondary energy input and net energy output are defined. Procedures for measuring temperature, pressure, input fuel flow and composition, electrical power and thermal output at the boundaries are provided. Procedures for determination of the FPS performance measures such as fuel processor efficiency and cold gas efficiency at a rated load or any other steady state condition are provided. Methods to correct results from the test conditions to reference conditions are provided. SI units are used throughout the recommended practice document.

  • In addition, you can request the rules of the rest of the organizations through the e-mail normas@aenor.com
  • Technical books on paper and in electronic format (PDF, epub).

The standards can be purchased in PDF, reading or paper. The reading standards are not download files, they can only be viewed in the client area. The standards ordered on paper and some of the books in the catalogue are printed on demand. 

Check deadlines in normas@aenor.com.

The license of use is for one user and one device, if you want to reproduce the content of the standard, you must request a license that will have an additional cost. Send us your inquiry here 

The AENOR standards and books that appear in the online store can only be purchased exclusively through the website. AENOR does not have a physical store.

Purchase procedure: by clicking on "Buy" the desired products will go to the shopping cart. If there are display problems, the recommended browser is Chrome.

To formalize the purchase you must access the customer area. If you are not registered as a customer, you must fill in a form with the data along with a password and username. This will create the account.

Once the "Customer data" form has been completed, "Order in progress" will be displayed with all the items loaded in the shopping cart, their prices, taxes established in current legislation and shipping costs if applicable.

The prices of the standards and books that appear in the various sections do not include taxes or shipping costs.

AENOR promotional codes consist of alphanumeric characters and can only be applied to online purchases, received through a specific offer and for a limited time. To apply your promotional code, you just have to enter it in step 2 of 4 of the purchase process on the website and click on "apply", after you have identified yourself and chosen the payment methods. Promo codes are not cumulative.

 

  • Credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard) and PayPal.
  • Bank transfer. If you opt for this form of payment, you must first send AENOR a copy of the transfer by email to normas@aenor.com
  • The purchase invoice can be downloaded from the customer area, in my previous orders

In the case of clients of companies based abroad, the taxpayer identification number of the corresponding country (for example, in Argentina the CUIT), must be filled in the CIF/NIF - VAT field .
