Appl. No.:

11/971663

Inventors:

Fred C. Jahnke - Rye NY, US
Joseph M. Daly - Bethel CT, US
Anthony J. Leo - New Milford CT, US

Assignee:

FuelCell Energy, Inc. - Danbury CT

International Classification:

H01M 8/04
H01M 8/06

US Classification:

429414, 429408, 429409, 429413, 429415

Abstract:

A water recovery assembly for use in a fuel cell system having an anode and a cathode, the anode being adapted to receive fuel and output anode exhaust, the water recovery assembly comprising a first cooling assembly adapted to receive and quench cool the anode exhaust and to recover a first portion of water including electrolyte from the anode exhaust, and to output quenched anode exhaust and the first portion of water, and a second cooling assembly adapted to receive the quenched anode exhaust and to recover a second portion of water from the quenched anode exhaust, the second portion of water being suitable for humidifying the fuel supplied to the anode.

Fred C. Jahnke - Rye NY, US
Joseph M. Daly - Bethel CT, US
Matti A. Lilback - Cheshire CT, US

Assignee:

FuelCell Energy, Inc. - Danbury CT

International Classification:

H01M 8/06

US Classification:

429413, 429430, 429442, 429443

Abstract:

A humidifier assembly for humidifying fuel for use in a fuel cell system, comprising a water heater adapted to receive recycled water and to generate heated water using cathode exhaust, and a fuel saturator adapted to receive deaerated cleansed water, at least a portion of the deaerated cleansed water comprising the heated water, and fuel and to humidify the fuel with a first portion of the deaerated cleansed water, the fuel saturator tower outputting humidified fuel for use in the fuel cell system and a second portion of the deaerated cleansed water for use as recycled water in the water heater.

Appl. No.:

12/042231

Inventors:

Fred C. Jahnke - Rye NY, US
Joseph M. Daly - Bethel CT, US

International Classification:

H01M 8/04
H01M 8/18

US Classification:

429 17, 429 26, 429 20

Abstract:

A water transfer assembly for use in a fuel cell system having an anode and a cathode, the anode being adapted to receive fuel and to output anode exhaust and the cathode being adapted to receive oxidant gas and to output cathode exhaust, the water transfer assembly comprising a first cooling assembly adapted to receive the cathode exhaust and to quench cool the cathode exhaust to recover a first portion of water including non-volatile contaminants from the cathode exhaust and to output cleansed cathode exhaust and the first water portion, and a second cooling assembly adapted to receive the cleansed cathode exhaust and to recover a second water portion from the cleansed cathode exhaust, the second water portion being suitable for humidifying the fuel supplied to the anode.
