Energy conversion arrangement, energy system, propulsion unit, and aircraft comprising same

Abstract

An energy conversion arrangement for an aircraft, an energy system, a propulsion unit, and an aircraft comprising an energy conversion arrangement and/or an energy system are provided. The energy conversion arrangement includes at least one exhaust outlet for letting out exhaust produced by a fuel conversion device, in particular a fuel cell system, for converting at least one fuel to electrical and/or mechanical energy in the fuel conversion device; and at least one exhaust assembly configured to admix a stream of the exhaust from the at least one exhaust outlet with ambient air from the ambient surroundings in at least one mixing zone to promote a growth of water droplets through at least partly condensing water vapor contained in the exhaust in the mixing zone.
