1. A fuel cell arrangement comprising:
air and water flow fields, the air flow field having an air inlet manifold providing an air inlet and an air outlet manifold providing an air outlet; a coupling having a restriction that is downstream from the air outlet and outside the water flow field, the restriction fluidly arranged between and connecting the air outlet to the water flow field, the restriction having a high pressure side provided by the air outlet and a low pressure side exposed to the water flow field, the low pressure side at a lower pressure than the high pressure side; and a reservoir in fluid communication with the water flow field, the water flow field having a water level and the reservoir having a fill line above the water level, the reservoir includes a head corresponding to the fill line that is on the low pressure side and in fluid communication with and exposed to the restriction, the reservoir includes a water drain at or above the fill line, and a valve arranged in the water drain configured to maintain the reservoir at the lower pressure. |
