Abstract: A quick, low energy consuming and reliable start-up is essential for fuel cell systems utilizing diesel and jet fuel. A compact fuel processor for coupling with a high-temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cell is developed with electrically-heated reactors in the 28 kWth power class. Based on this set-up, start-up strategies are developed and validated. With the basic strategy, 14 min are required in the best case to commence reforming and achieve self-sustaining operation with desired CO concentration at full load using NExBTL diesel and, respectively, 16 min using Jet A-1. However, using premium diesel, the basic strategy leads to a strong increase in the concentrations of ethane and benzene. An advanced strategy enables 16 min start time with premium diesel suppressing these undesired side products. This result is within the 30 min start-up time target for auxiliary power units for 2020 and offers a reliable option for real world applications.
