Appl. No.:

7/057377

Inventors:

Matthew J. Rosso - Ringwood NJ

Assignee:

Ergenics Power Systems, Inc. - Wyckoff NJ

International Classification:

H01M 818

H01M 810
H01M 200

US Classification:

429 19

Abstract:

A fuel cell for generating electricity by using an ion exchange membrane as electrolyte. Such fuel cells are generally arranged as a stack. Each fuel cell has a fuel electrode to which gaseous hydrogen is fed, an oxygen electrode to which oxygen is fed, an ion exchange membrane sandwiched therebetween, a fuel distribution member for supplying fuel to the fuel electrode, and an oxygen distribution member for supplying oxygen to the oxygen electrode. These fuel cells are characterized by a liquid-permeable electricity-conductive member in the form of a layer for storage and transport of water produced in the fuel cell. The fluid-permeable member is separated from the electrodes and the fuel cell is contained between outer impermeable sheets. The fuel cell assembly is part of a system that also removes heat from the assembly during its operation. The heat removal is accomplished alternately by evaporative cooling, direct air cooling, cooling with recirculating liquid or cooling by direct heat conduction to a heat sink.

International Classification:

F17C 1100

US Classification:

62 48

Abstract:

Discloses a hydrogen compressor having two series of chambers or hydride containers specifically located in a pair of jackets adapted to contain flowing heat exchange liquid, e. g. water. The series of chambers are connected through a check valve arrangement and flow of hot and cold water through said jackets is controlled by a timing means.
