Abstract: A system includes a fuel tank and a dehydration reactor that are configured to provide a primary fuel and a pilot fuel to a power system. The fuel tank is configured to store the primary fuel and is fluidly connected to a reactor feed line and a primary fuel line provide the primary fuel. The dehydration reactor is configured to receive the primary fuel via the reactor feed line and convert a portion of the primary fuel to the pilot fuel and a byproduct. The power system is configured to receive the pilot fuel from the dehydration reactor to initiate combustion of the primary fuel. The power system also includes a cylinder with an internal piston that receives the pilot fuel and the primary fuel, contains the combustion reaction, and generates power from the combustion reaction; and contains the combustion reaction. A pilot fuel injector provides the pilot fuel to the cylinder at a first time to initiate combustion and a primary fuel injector provides the pilot fuel to the cylinder at to generate power via the power system.

Abstract: A carbon capture system includes a hydrogen production module. The hydrogen production module is used to control the amount of hydrogen entering an internal combustion engine to reduce an amount of water vapor generated by the internal combustion engine, thereby increasing the efficiency of the carbon capture device. If too much water vapor is detected in an exhaust of the engine, the amount of hydrogen produced by a hydrogen production module can be increased, thereby reducing the amount of hydrogen entering the engine and reducing the amount of water vapor generated by the engine. A reformer catalyst can be used by the hydrogen production module to remove at least a portion of hydrogen in a fuel stream of the engine.

Abstract: A system and method for co-production of hydrogen and electrical power includes operating an engine having an electrical power generator connected thereto, and a hydrogen gas production plant, from a single source of gaseous fuel such that hydrogen extracted from a heated reformate provided by a partial oxidation catalyst is removed and collected for storage or sale while a tail gas is recirculated to an engine inlet to reduce NOx emissions during engine operation.

Abstract: A fuel cell electrical power generation system is described herein. The system uses a combustor to increase the pressure and temperature of exhaust gases from a fuel cell stack of the system. The combustor uses hydrogen from a hydrogen supply to provide fuel to the combustor. The increased temperature/pressure of the exhaust gases post combustion are used to rotate a turbine, which in turn rotates a compressor of a turbocharger. The compressor compresses incoming air to increase the power output and/or the efficiency of the system. An ebooster can be used in low load conditions, such as during a startup or during at time in which the electrical loading on the fuel cells is relatively low.

Abstract: A gaseous fuel-powered engine includes a fuel injector configured to selectively inject a plurality of gas plumes into the combustion chamber, and a laser ignition system configured to selectively ignite the gas plumes within the combustion chamber. The laser ignition system includes a laser source configured to generate at least one laser beam, and a beam splitter for splitting the laser beam into a plurality of partial laser beams. A focusing unit is provided to direct each partial laser beam to corresponding focal points in the gas plumes within the combustion chamber. A controller is configured to determine an operating state of the gaseous fuel-powered engine, regulate an intensity of each partial laser beam, and operate the focusing unit for directing the partial laser beams within the combustion chamber to ignite the gas plumes at the focal points during injection of the gas plumes within the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A cryogenic fluid containment system is disclosed. The system can store a fluid such as hydrogen at a cryogenic temperature and pressure. As the fluid naturally warms, the fluid can be directed to a portion of a liquefaction system that is configured to perform a cooling technique on the fluid. The cooling techniques may be Joule-Thomson cooling techniques. The liquefaction system may be equipped to perform both non-Joule-Thomson cooling techniques and Joule-Thomson cooling techniques. The system is configured to direct fluid to an appropriate portion of the liquefaction system, which may be based at least in part upon a Joule-Thomson coefficient of the fluid.
