Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method for conditioning the temperature of at least one fluid stream that is passed through a fuel cell stack is provided. The system comprises a system module, at least one inlet and a conditioning device. The system module is operable to humidify the fluid stream to a reach a predetermined humidity level that corresponds to a predetermined temperature. The one inlet of the fuel cell stack receives the fluid stream at a first temperature that is different from the predetermined temperature. The fuel cell stack includes at least one outlet operable to present coolant having a temperature that is different from the first temperature of the fluid stream. The conditioning device is operable to receive the fluid stream and the coolant and present the fluid stream to the coolant to change the first temperature of the fluid stream to be equal to the predetermined temperature.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A system for conditioning a temperature of at least one fluid stream that is passed through a fuel cell stack, the system comprising: a system module disposed upstream of the fuel cell stack and operable to humidify an anode stream and a cathode stream; a fuel cell stack adapted to receive the anode stream and the cathode stream, the fuel cell stack having at least one outlet that provides coolant in response to receiving the anode stream and the cathode stre…
