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.
