Abstract
The present invention relates to a hydrogen fed power system comprising: a high-pressure hydrogen container (150), at least one hydrogen driven energy converter such as a fuel cell (159) connecting to the hydrogen container (150), pressure converter (158) for hydrogen gas, located between the high-pressure hydrogen container (150) and the lower pressure energy converter (159). The invention also relates to a vehicle as well as to a stand-alone electric power unit provided with such an hydrogen fed power system. Furthermore the present invention relates a method for use of the hydrogen fed power system and to a method for filling up the high-pressure hydrogen container of the hydrogen fed power system.
Claims14
Hydrogen fed power system comprising:
- a high-pressure hydrogen container,
- at least one hydrogen operated energy converter connecting to the hydrogen container,
- an electrochemical pressure converter for hydrogen gas located between the high-pressure hydrogen container and the hydrogen operated energy converter wherein the hydrogen operated energy converter is a lower pressure energy converter, the electrochemical pressure converter having an ion-conductive membrane configured for conversion of both pressure energy and electric energy, and
- a heat guide connecting the hydrogen operated energy converter to the electrochemical pressure converter.
