    摘要: A fuel cell apparatus is provided that includes an electrochemical energy conversion device comprising an anode and a cathode. The cathode receives an air gas stream flowing thereto. The apparatus further includes a humidity exchange component and a gas scrubber component. The humidity exchange component controls a humidity level in the gas stream flowing toward the cathode. The gas scrubber component includes an active material that reduces a carbon dioxide content level from the air gas stream. A method of using the apparatus is provided.

    摘要: A desalination system wherein a latent heat of condensation produced by the temperature gradient across a membrane distillation (MD) module is transferred directly to a latent heat of vaporization during desalination of a liquid flow stream. The desalination system comprises the MD module disposed within an object and configured to receive an input feed stream for desalination and produce an output flow stream of a product. The system also comprises a vapor compressor in fluidic communication with the MD module and configured to introduce a hot steam to a high temperature side of the MD module and extract a cool steam, having a temperature less than the hot steam, from a low temperature side of the MD module, thereby creating a temperature gradient across of the MD module. A desalination method is also presented.
