POWER PLANT BASED ON FUEL ELEMENTS FOR FLOATING FACILITIES OF NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC H01M8/22 B63B22/16 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: power plant based on fuel elements comprises a gas system, which includes a reservoir to store liquefied gas, a pipeline, a pressure controller (reducer) with an interrupter and a light sensor. The gas system using propane instead of acetylene is equipped with an electrochemical generator with fuel elements that convert reagents in the form of propane and atmospheric air into DC for supply of a light source in the form of a light diode radiator. Plant operation in emergency mode is provided by a reserve source of supply, which is a primary chemical source of current (a galvanic battery) put in action by a control unit in case the gas system has failed or propane has been fully consumed.

EFFECT: invention provides for ecological purity, durability and safety of operation.
