The paper presents initial research on processes present on the cathode side of Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFC), when the supplied gas is an aerosol containing solid particulate matter. The research is based on experiments conducted at the Institute of Heat Engineering of Warsaw University of Technology. The main task is to determine whether and to what extent solid particles disable or hinder the operation of a molten carbonate fuel cell. It is thought that they might change the penetrability of porous layers by clogging their void volumes. Under investigation are the sizes and amount of solid particles required to significantly affect the processes occurring on the triple phase. Experimental investigation was conducted that determined the change in operational parameters due to dust contamination. Surprisingly, there is no sudden drop in the electric parameters of the fuel cell subject to dust poisoning. Supposedly, the dust creates a porous, permeable to gases, structure on the electrode. The only varying parameter was the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet to the cathode.

将粉尘污染气体短期送入熔融碳酸盐燃料电池阴极的实验研究

本文提供了对熔融碳酸盐燃料电池（MCFC）阴极侧上存在的过程的初步研究，当所供应的气体为包含固体颗粒物的气溶胶时。该研究是基于在华沙工业大学热工研究所进行的实验。主要任务是确定固体颗粒是否以及在何种程度上使熔融碳酸盐燃料电池失效或阻碍其运行。认为它们可能通过堵塞其空隙体积而改变多孔层的渗透性。正在研究的是显着影响在三相上发生的过程所需的固体颗粒的大小和数量。进行了实验研究，确定了由于粉尘污染导致的运行参数的变化。出奇，不会因粉尘中毒而使燃料电池的电参数突然下降。据称，灰尘在电极上形成了一种多孔的，可渗透气体的结构。唯一变化的参数是阴极入口和出口之间的压力差。
