Abstract

The aim of this work is the presentation of a new model for ejector performance calculation using a commercial tool. Due to the critical issues in recirculation performance, special attention is devoted to applications in hybrid systems based on high temperature fuel cells. The theoretical activity is supported by an experimental rig able to operate tests on ejectors at different operative conditions, with a layout similar to the fuel cell anodic recirculation. The model validation, operated considering experimental data obtained with this rig, is essential to evaluate the tool performance for design and off-design calculations. This aspect is particularly critical due to important limitations in the recirculation ratio (especially for the anodic side), to avoid unacceptable operative conditions in the fuel cells.
