ELECTROCHEMICAL GENERATOR BASED ON HYDROGEN-OXYGEN FUEL CELLS AND METHOD FOR REMOVAL OF WATER AND HEAT FROM FUEL ELEMENTS BATTERY REACTION ZONE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H01M8/00 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: electrochemical generator based on hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells contains a heat discharge circuit with a temperature sensor and a pump (the pimp output connected to the irradiator input), a battery of fuel cells with pipelines for delivery of hydrogen and oxygen, with electricity output buses and a water discharge valve), the electrochemical generator control system, a hydrogen bleeding circuit including a blower, a hydrogen input and a hydrogen-water mixture output from the fuel cells battery, a temperature sensor. Additionally proposed is a method for water and heat removal from the fuel cells battery reaction zone.

EFFECT: reduction of energy expenditures due to supply of hydrogen into the fuel cells battery heat to the water vapour condensation temperature; increase of the electrochemical generator reliability and service life due to the assemblies continuously operating under conditions without sharp temperature gradients, ensuring continuous removal of current-generating reaction end products.
