HYDROGEN OFFLOADING IN AN ELECTROCHEMICAL GENERATOR UNIT INCLUDING A HYDROGEN FUEL CELL

摘要

In order to render an electrochemical generator unit including a hydrogen fuel cell (10) autonomous particularly in terms of water, the generator unit (1) includes a condenser (13) provided with a fan (13V) and a radiator (13R) contacting a tank (12) for storing hydrogen as a hydride. The condenser simultaneously transfers the heat from steam-laden air (17E) to an endothermic reaction of the hydride into an alloy and hydrogen via the radiator, and condenses the steam into condensed water (13EC) which is collected by a tank (14) supplying an electrolyzer (11) with water in order to generate hydrogen to be stored.
