    摘要: A media holding module to hold various granular and pelletized gas phase filtration media for filtering air. The module is comprised of two solid side plates, and a perforated end panel and four perforated wall panels disposed between the side plates. The perforated wall panels are arranged in a generally “V”-shaped configuration. The interior wall panels are contoured at the module inlet to provide aerodynamic airflow. Additionally, the interior wall panels are perforated across their entire surface areas to allow for airflow access to all filtration media in the filtration media beds. The compartment created by the wall panels may be subdivided to form sub-compartments capable of holding discrete beds of filtration media in series. The module's support members are located outside of the air stream to avoid airflow resistance and turbulence. The module further includes a flexible, reversible sealing system for sealing the module in the module housing in various configurations while preventing air bypass. The module can be used to filter other gases and/or fluids.

    摘要: A PEM fuel cell (4) power plant includes a passive air vent (24) through which air separated from a cathode effluent stream can be expelled from the power plant. The air vent operates satisfactorily during ambient freezing conditions thus it is eminently suitable for use in mobile applications such as in PEM fuel cell-powered automobiles, buses, or the like. The vent is formed from a liquid antifreeze layer (40) that is disposed in a sparging tank (36) which communicates with ambient surroundings. Any water vapor in the stream can condense out of the gas-stream in the antifreeze. In order to facilitate this result, the antifreeze can be a liquid that is immiscible with water so that the condensed water will form a separate layer (38) in the sparging tank.

    摘要: A PEM fuel cell power plant includes fuel cells, each of which has a cathode reactant flow field plate which is substantially impermeable to fluids, a water coolant source, and a fluid permeable anode reactant flow field plate adjacent to said water coolant source. The anode reactant flow field plates pass water from the coolant sources into the cells where the water is evaporated to cool the cells. The cathode flow field plates prevent reactant crossover between adjacent cells. By providing a single water permeable plate for each cell in the power plant the amount of water present in the power plant at shut down is limited to a degree which does not require adjunct water purging components to remove water from the plates when the power plant is shut down during freezing ambient conditions. Thus the amount of residual ice in the power plant that forms in the plates during shut down in such freezing conditions will be limited. The power plant can thus be restarted and brought up to full operating power levels quickly due to the reduced amount of ice that must be melted during startup. The power plant is thus well suited for use in powering vehicles.

    摘要: An onsite chemistry air filtration system to remove gaseous contaminants from air is disclosed. The onsite chemistry air filtration system of the present invention comprises: a conventional particulate filtration section, a photochemical filtration section, a static gas phase filtration section and a catalytic filtration section. The conventional particulate filtration section captures solids and condensables. In the photochemical filtration section, UV lamps generate bio-destruction and surface photochemical activity on a semiconductor catalyst material, provide a radiation source to irradiate airborne contaminant molecules and to energize their states to promote reactions and generate airborne ozone and radicals. In the static gas phase filtration section, gas phase filtration media is used to capture contaminants, concentrate them in a relatively confined space and allow airborne generated chemistries to concentrate and react in-situ, thereby creating a regeneration effect on the media. In the catalytic filtration section, catalytic media scavenges and converts airborne radicals and ozone to harmless by-products.
