Abstract: A fuel cell system, with an air flow system includes a first thermal zone, a second thermal zone, an air blower provided between the first and second thermal zones. The first thermal zone is connected to an inlet port of the fuel cell system. The second thermal zone is connected to an outlet port of the fuel cell system. The air blower is configured to draw in air from the first thermal zone and provide the air to the second thermal zone.

Abstract: An apparatus with at least two thermal zones of different temperatures, each thermally isolated from the other. A stream of ambient air is used to isolate the two zones. A housing can have a dual wall construction defining an air conduit between the two walls, above, below and/or around the sides. An exothermic device can be mounted within the housing. In operation, a blower within the housing draws air into the air conduit at the rear of the housing. The intake air flows around the housing, then into the exothermic device. A cool zone can be located within the housing, upstream from the blower, kept cool by the flow of ambient air. A hot zone can exist downstream from the blower. A third zone of intermediate temperature can be located downstream from the blower, upstream from the device. The exothermic device can be physically isolated from the cool zone by the blower and an insulated wall on which the blower can be mounted. The ambient air fed to the hot zone can be the source of oxygen for the exothermic device.

Abstract: A thermally insulated housing for a heat-producing, heat-radiating device such as an integrated CPOX reformer and SOFC stack includes an assembly of thermal insulation sections that presents an indirect, or tortuous, path that inhibits the flow of IR vectors to the walls of the housing.
