<p>Apparatus for cooling a liquid electrolyte fuel cell is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a liquid electrolyte transport arrangement for bringing liquid electrolyte from a fuel cell into thermal communication with a thermal energy transfer medium and for communicating liquid electrolyte from thermal communication with the energy transfer medium back to the fuel cell. A thermal energy transfer medium transport arrangement for communicating the thermal energy transfer medium to thermal communication with the liquid electrolyte from a heat sink and for communicating the thermal energy transfer medium from thermal communication with the liquid electrolyte to a heat sink is also provided. The electrical installation maybe by way of the thermal energy transfer medium being non-conducting, for example a water/ethylene glycol mix and/or by their being electrically insulating material between the energy transfer medium and liquid electrolyte.</p> |
