Abstract
Une pile à combustible céramique est supportée dans une plaque d'interconnexion conductrice de chaleur, et une pluralité de plaques forment un chauffage conducteur appelé un empilement. La connexion d'une pluralité d'empilements forme un bâton de piles à combustible. En connectant une pluralité de bâtons d'un bout à l'autre, on obtient une chaîne de piles à combustible. La chaîne peut avoir une longueur de 1 000 pieds ou plus et être dimensionnée pour pénétrer dans une couche de ressources souterraines, par exemple de l'huile. Un préchauffeur amène la chaîne à une température de fonctionnement de plus de 700.degrés.C. Ensuite, les piles à combustible maintiennent cette température par l'intermédiaire d'une pluralité de conduits qui alimentent les piles à combustible d'un combustible et d'un oxydant et qui transfèrent les gaz d'échappement à une surface planétaire. Un collecteur peut être utilisé entre la chaîne et la surface planétaire pour continuer la pluralité de conduits et agir comme un échangeur de chaleur entre les gaz d'échappement et les oxydants/le combustible.
