A hybrid cooling system for a fuel cell vehicle utilizes evaporative cooling to supplement a radiator. Liquid water produced by the fuel cell is utilized by the evaporative cooling system. A vacuum pump lowers a pressure in a chiller to increase the rate of evaporation of the liquid water. A…
The invention relates to a method for operating a fuel cell system, comprising a cooling circuit for cooling at least one fuel cell, wherein a coolant circulating in the cooling circuit is cooled with a coolant cooler, which also has air flowing through it. The air is supplied by a fan assembly…
The present disclosure provides for fuel cell systems, assemblies and methods. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for emergency power fuel cell systems, assemblies and methods (e.g., for aircraft or the like), with the fuel cells having indirect evaporative cooling. The present…
A temperature control system is disclosed for solid oxide cells, a cell including a fuel side, an oxygen rich side, and an electrolyte element, and the system including a repetitious unit structure for the solid oxide cells. The system includes a fuel flow field plate structure for fuel, an oxidant…
The invention relates to a fuel cell system (), having: at least one fuel cell () and a cathode path () for providing an oxygen-containing reactant in the form of supply air (L) to the at least one fuel cell (), wherein the cathode path () has a supply air line () for providing the supply air (L)…
Generated water is quickly and surely removed from a fuel cell, and leakage of generated water is prevented. A diaphragm 13 atomizes or vaporizes generated water WL generated from a fuel cell 11 as electrical equipment through holes and removes generated water WF, WG to the outside of a gap when…
