    摘要: A fuel cell system that employs a recuperative heat exchanger to provide additional cooling for the compressed charge air applied to the cathodes of the fuel cells in the fuel cell stack. The cathode exhaust gas is applied to the recuperative heat exchanger so that the cathode exhaust gas cools the charge air heated by the compressed air. A cathode exhaust gas expander is provided in combination with the recuperative heat exchanger that uses the energy in the heated cathode exhaust gas to power the charge air compressor. An anode exhaust gas combustor can be provided that burns residual hydrogen in the anode exhaust gas to further heat the cathode exhaust gas before it is applied to the expander.

    摘要: A multi-stage compressor system that compresses air supplied to a cathode of a fuel cell system includes a first stage compressor that compresses inlet air to provide a first pressurized air stream at a first pressure. A second stage compressor includes a compression unit that compresses the first pressurized air stream to a second pressurized air stream at a second pressure. A drive unit drives the compression unit using expansion energy of an exhaust stream of the fuel cell. A first heat exchanger enables heat transfer between the second pressurized air stream and the exhaust stream to heat the exhaust stream.

    摘要: A method of regulating a relative humidity of a gas supplied to a cathode side of a fuel cell stack includes controlling a flow of feedback gas from the cathode side to a compressor to adjust the relative humidity of the gas. Injected water into the compressor is vaporized in the compressor to further adjust the relative humidity of the gas. The gas is discharged at a pressure that is sufficient for use in the fuel cell stack. Water is injected into the compressor. Vaporizing is achieved using heat generated through compression. A compression pressure of the compressor is adjusted based on a quantity of the water to vaporize the water therein.
