    Abstract: A reformate gas generating device for an energy conversion device comprises a trapping system (110) comprising a filter element (124) and a trap element (140), and a reforming system (100). The reforming system (100) is coupled to the trapping system (110), which is positioned after said reforming system (100). The trapping system (110) is monitored by a combination of devices including an on-board diagnostic system, a temperature sensor (116), and a pressure differential sensor (118), which can individually or in combination determine when to regenerate the trapping system (110). The method for trapping sulfur and particulate matter using the trapping system (110) comprises dispensing fuel into the energy conversion device. The fuel is processed in a reformer system (100) to produce a reformate. The reformate is introduced into the trapping system (110) and filtered to remove particulate matter and sulfur.

    Abstract: An energy conversion system comprising ammonia for fueling an SOFC stack to generate electricity and a hydrogen-rich tailgas. In the SOFC stack, ammonia is cracked to hydrogen and nitrogen. Ammonia is stored in a metal halide complex and is released therefrom as gaseous ammonia by waste heat from the SOFC. A heat exchanger is positioned across the SOFC cathode such that incoming air is tempered by the cathode exhaust air. In a two-stage energy conversion system, the hydrogen-rich tailgas from the SOFC is supplied as fuel to a secondary energy conversion device which may be, for example, an internal combustion engine or a gas turbine engine which may operate, for example, either a generator for generating additional electricity or a vehicle for motive power, or a second fuel cell stack.
