FUEL CELL COLUMN HEAT EXCHANGER MATED MODULE

摘要

A fuel cell module (10) with a fuel cell column (18), having at least one fuel cell stack, mated with the planar wall of a heat exchanger (60), wherein the fuel cell column (18) and heat exchanger (60) are mounted to a support structure (30), and which define an air plenum between the fuel cell column (18) and planar wall of the heat exchanger, thereby eliminating the ductwork and insulation requirements associated with heat exchange systems while increasing the efficiency of the heat exchanger.
