Progress of Temperature Distribution Measurement Technology in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
Real time temperature distribution of solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)single cell/stacks is an important parameter to determine its performance.And it is also the crucially responsible for the thermal stress of components in SOFC stacks.It is significant to understand comprehensively the temperature distribution of SOFC single cell/stacks under real working conditions for studying its fundamental working performance,analyzing and retarding its high temperature related performance degradation and lengthen its lifetimes.In addition,the work is of great importance and instructive for strengthening SOFC single cell/stacks performance,optimizing its structure,and improving its more reliable numerical modeling.This paper introduces the principles and applications of vari-ous experimental measurement technologies for temperature distribution in SOFC single cell/stacks.The advantages,disadvantages and suitable for application aspects of these technologies in the re-search of SOFC single cell/stacks temperature measurement are analyzed,commented and reviewed.This paper provides reference value for the accurate measurement of thermal characteristics and performance analysis of SOFC single cell/stacks.
