Abstract: Redundant electrochemical systems and methods for vehicles are described. The systems include a first electrochemical device located at a first position on the vehicle wherein the first electrochemical device is configured to generate at least one of inert gas, oxygen, and electrical power and a second electrochemical device located at a second position on the vehicle wherein the second electrochemical device is configured to generate at least one of inert gas, oxygen, and electrical power. The first electrochemical device is configured to operate in a first mode during normal operation of the vehicle and a second mode when the second electrochemical device fails, wherein in the second mode, the first electrochemical device provides the at least one of inert gas, oxygen, and electrical power for at least one vehicle critical system of the vehicle.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for aircraft life support and generating inert gas. The system includes an electrochemical cell with a cathode and an anode separated by a proton transfer medium. A cathode supply fluid flow path is between an air source and a cathode fluid flow path inlet, and an inerting gas flow path is in operative fluid communication with a cathode fluid flow path outlet and a protected space. An anode supply fluid flow path is between a water source and an anode fluid flow path inlet, and an oxygen gas flow path is in operative fluid communication with an anode fluid flow path outlet and an aircraft occupant breathing device. An electrical connection is between a power source and the electrochemical cell.
