Abstract:
A feed gas is separated into a CO2-lean stream and a CO2-enriched stream at a CO2 enriching unit. The CO2-enriched gas is fed to a greenhouse to enhance plant growth. The feed gas may include air and/or vent gas from the greenhouse.
Abstract:
A method of using a hybrid humidifier fuel cell for ensuring adequate humidification of a reactant gas stream in a fuel cell stack, during both steady-state, as well as transient operation. The device provides for improved performance through the use a primary humidification and a secondary humidification.
Abstract:
An enclosure is filled with a filling gas according to the disclosed method. An enclosure is provided having an interior, a width, a height, a thickness, and fluid filling and exit holes fluidly communicating with the interior. Filling of the enclosure is commenced by directing a flow of the filling gas at a filling flow rate into the fluid filling hole. An oxygen concentration of gas exiting the fluid exit hole is sensed. The filling of the enclosure is stopped when the sensed oxygen concentration reaches a threshold concentration, wherein the threshold oxygen concentration and/or the filling flow rate are selected by a Decision Support Tool based upon the width, height, and/or the thickness.
