ANTONIO
VINCITORE received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from UCLA under Prof. Selim
Senkan. His graduate research experience is in high temperature chemical
kinetics of opposed flow diffusion flames with an emphasis on experimental
measurement techniques of Aromatic and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons.
He
joined UTC Fuel Cells (UTCFC) in 1998 and has six years of experience in fuel
processor development. Currently responsible for full-scale reactor development
activities for all UTCFC programs, where such activities have resulted in fuel
processors for use in transportation, residential and stationary applications.
Over
the last few years, Dr. Vincitore has dedicated himself to developing fuel
processors for a 75 kWe PEM Automotive, 7.5 kWe
Residential and 150 kWe Stationary Power Plants.
Dr. Vincitore played a major role in the development and test of an
auto-thermal reformer and direct contact cooler used in UTCFC’s first
generation gasoline fuel processor. Recently,
he has coordinated the development of a compact, catalyzed wall steam reformer,
which was designed to run on natural gas. In
addition, he has performed in-house system and cost studies specifically focused
on the use of renewable fuels, like ethanol, in fuel processing systems.
