Abstract

In one embodiment, systems and methods include using an evaporator coil with a solid oxide fuel cell generator to generate energy for an aircraft vehicle. The system comprises a solid oxide fuel cell generator operable to generate energy. The system further comprises a first tank fluidly coupled to the solid oxide fuel cell generator configured to discharge a fluid to the solid oxide fuel cell generator and to receive the fluid from an evaporator coil coupled to the solid oxide fuel cell generator. The system further comprises a second tank fluidly coupled to the first tank and having a volume of the fluid, wherein the second tank is configured to discharge the fluid to the first tank, wherein the evaporator coil receives the discharged fluid from the second tank and increases the temperature of the discharged fluid prior to the first tank receiving the discharged fluid.
