  7. CHOSS / SOFC Description CHOSS – Combined Hydrogen Oxygen Storage System Standard industrial strength hydrogen peroxide and metal hydride supply system provide separate streams of hydrogen and oxygen for electric power generation via Solid Oxide Fuel Cell and shaft power via waste heat recovery. High energy dense, air-independent power system Underwater power generation applications Space based power applications SOFC – Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Electrochemical conversion of hydrogen oxidation to electric power. Solid oxide electrolyte requires high temperature operation which enables very high cycle efficiencies via waste heat recovery. High storage density supply of H2 and O2 enables efficient power generation without access to atmospheric air. ATK PROPRIETARY Export Controlled Technical Data - see cover sheet
  8. CHOSS / SOFC Description CHOSS Concept DC Electric 60% H2O2 O2 H2O2 Reactor SOFC H2O Waste Heat Recovery Shaft Work MgH2 Supply MgH2 MgH2 Reactor H2 Liquid Product Storage Solid Product Storage CHOSS Features and Benefits CHOSS Chemistry High efficiency, air independent power. 5X-7X higher energy density than Li ion batteries. Can operate without ingesting water or exhausting product, providing both silent operation and neutral buoyancy Produces DC electric and/or shaft power Higher efficiency operation with waste heat recovery Recyclable products Uses standard industrial strength peroxide – safe operation MgH2 + H2O → MgO + 2 H2 (ΔHR = -283.3 kJ/gmol MgH2) H2O2 + 1.26H2O → 2.26H2O + 0.5O2 (ΔHR = -105.7 kJ/gmol H2O2) H2 + 0.5O2 → H2O (ΔHR = -241.8 kJ/gmol H2) ATK PROPRIETARY Export Controlled Technical Data - see cover sheet
