Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système de gestion des fluides d'une pile à combustible qui effectue les opérations suivantes: (i) transfert de la vapeur d'eau de la sortie d'oxydant de la pile de cellules à l'alimentation en fluide de la pile de cellules via des tubes à membrane; (ii) fusion et séparation de l'eau des rejets de fluides de la pile de cellules vers l'environnement; (iii) transfert de chaleur de la pile de cellules sur les alimentations en fluides; et (iv) et élimine les combustibles épuisés. Ledit système est conçu pour s'adapter intimement aux orifices de fluide de la pile à combustible correspondante.
