Delphi Corporation is developing Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology for applications in the transportation and residential markets. Delphi is developing this technology for the automotive and heavy duty trucking markets primarily as an on-board Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). In the first application of this program, the APU will be used to power “hotel loads” i.e. an electric air conditioning system without the need for operating the vehicle’s engine.

This paper explores the potentials of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as 3 kW auxiliary power units for trucks and military vehicles operating on diesel fuel. Various issues are discussed, e.g., the requirements and specifications for the unit as well as the advantages, challenges, and development issues for SOFCs in such applications. System design and analysis are carried out. The major component of the system is the fuel cell stack. The calculations are performed for two voltage systems 12/14 V and 36/42 V, respectively. The influences of others parameters like the mass flow rates of air and gases, water production and heat production are also evaluated for the two voltage systems.
