A fuel cell system (2) comprises an air inlet (26), a hydrogen inlet (14), an inert gas outlet (27), a water outlet (38), an electrical power outlet (32), at least one low temperature fuel cell (4) and at least one air separator (16). The air separator (16) is positioned between the air inlet (26) and a cathode of the at least one fuel cell (4) and is adapted for separating oxygen from the air and feeding the oxygen to a cathode of the at least one fuel cell (4). The fuel cell (4) is capable of delivering liquid water as a by-product due to the use of substantially pure oxygen and hydrogen in a low temperature operation, such that extraction and condensation requiring cooling capacity is not necessary. The fuel cell system (2) is therefore efficient and compact. |
