Bachelor Thesis: "Investigation of Fuel Cell Systems: Improving Efficiency Using Waste Heat". Thesis completed in partnership with Fr. Lürssen Werft and HSRW. Conducted an analysis of fuel cell systems for superyachts to
identify points of energy inefficiencies. Proposed three methods to increase the efficiency
(details kept brief as the thesis was conducted under an NDA).
Water Heater: proposed using
water as a coolant for the fuel-cell system such that when the water exited the
systems, it would be heated to approximately 48°C via heat exchangers and
stored in a reservoir to be
used as shower water on the yacht.
Heat Storage: introduced a heat storing
system to aid the first solution by using phase-change materials (PCM), where heat
would be stored in the PCM compound by converting it from its solid state to liquid.
Heat would be extracted by reversing this phase-change (by passing cool water through
the PCM and facilitating heat exchange between the PCM and water).
This system would be utilized when the water heater
system cannot make use of the waste heat (for example, when the water heater is at capacity).
Electricity Generation: recommended employing
thermoelectric generators (TEGs - small electronic devices that generate electricity
when it experiences temperature differences across its body) all along the cooling
pipes of the fuel systems to generate electricity using waste heat.
At its peak, the proposed system could generate 140 W.
