The T-cell-technology The T-cell combines the technologies of a micro-gas turbine and a high-temperature fuel cell.
Power is generated by combining a turbo engine with the innovative high-temperature fuel cell technology. The proportion of fuel energy that the fuel cell does not convert into electricity is available to the turbo engine as heat for further power generation. Consequently, in comparison with a pure fuel cell process, additional power is generated and a significantly higher level of efficiency is achieved.
The high efficiency of the technology is the result of the compact arrangement of the components within a chamber system, in line with the temperature requirements. To meet demand, the waste heat generated is fed back into other components. A central heat exchanger uses the heat from the emerging exhaust gas to heat the compressed air. With this technology, the T-cell achieves the world record for electrical efficiency.
