Fuel-cell engine stream conditioning system

A fuel cell engine stream conditioning system, the fuel cell engine stream condition system include a fuel cell, the stream conditioning system comprising:

• (a) a species transfer device for conditioning streams of said fuel cell;
• (b) a first stream of said fuel cell directed through the species transfer device;
• and
• (c) a second stream of said fuel cell directed through the species transfer device;
• the species transfer device capable of transferring a portion of a species from one of the first stream and the second stream to the other of the first stream and second stream.

A fuel cell engine stream conditioning system, the fuel cell engine stream conditioning system including a fuel cell, the stream conditioning system comprising:

• (a) a species transfer device for conditioning steams of said fuel cell said species transfer device including an exchange media having a sorbent;
• (b) a first steam of said fuel cell directed through the exchange media;
• and
• (c) a second stream of said fuel cell directed through the exchange media;
• the species transfer device capable of transferring a portion of a species from one of the first stream and the second stream to the other of the first stream and second stream.

A fuel cell engine stream conditioning system, the fuel cell engine stream conditioning system having a fuel cell, the stream conditioning system comprising:

• (a) a species transfer device for conditioning streams of said fuel cell, said species transfer device incorporating an exchange media and a sorbent;
• (b) a first steam of said fuel cell having a potential of a species, the first stream being a reactant for said fuel cell, the first stream directed through a transfer portion of the exchange media;
• and
• (c) a second stream of said fuel cell having a lower potential of the species than the first stream, the second stream directed through the transfer portion of the exchange media;
• the species transfer device capable of transferring a portion of the species from the fist stream to the second stream;
• the second stream directed through the transfer portion of the exchange media subsequent the first stream via rotation of the species transfer device.
