DCH Fuel Cell System Objectives
Efficient System (Low Parasitic Power)
- Less than 5 percent parasitic power losses.
- Operate air side at ambient pressure (replaces power intensive compressor with a low power blower).
Simple System
- Air cool stack (eliminates cooling system).
- Simple peripherals.
Low-Cost System
- Low-cost hardware (no special bipolar plates or MEA’s).
- Blower replaces expensive compressor/expander.
