Abstract
A fuel cell system comprises a fuel cell module, at least a cathode gas supply unit in contact with the cathode, at least one gas delivery unit and at least one anode fuel supply unit in contact with the anode. The fuel cell module comprises at least one fuel cell having one anode and one cathode. The cathode gas supply unit comprises at least one gas input port for receiving cathode gas and at least one gas exit for exhausting the cathode gas. The gas delivery unit guides the cathode gas to the gas input port. The anode fuel supply unit having a fuel comprises at least one fuel input port for receiving a resupplied fuel and at least one cathode gas input port for receiving the cathode gas from the gas exit.
Claims17
A fuel cell system comprising:
- a fuel cell module comprising at least one fuel cell, wherein the fuel cell has one anode and one cathode;
- at least one cathode gas supply unit in contact with the cathode comprising at least one gas input port for receiving cathode gas and at least one gas exit for exhausting the cathode gas;
- at least one gas delivery unit to guide the cathode gas to the gas input port of the anode;
- and
- at least one anode fuel supply unit in contact with the anode having a fuel, comprising at least one fuel input port for receiving a resupplied fuel and at least one cathode gas input port for receiving the cathode gas from the gas exit.
A method of recycling water for a fuel cell system, guiding a gas to the fuel of an anode fuel supply unit of the fuel cell system directly as the gas passes through a cathode of the fuel cell system.
