<p>A fuel cell (10) with a direct antifreeze impermeable cooler (32) plate for producing electrical energy from reducing fluid and process oxidant reactant streams. The fuel cell includes an electrolyte (50) between an anode catalyst (70) and a cathode catalyst (64); an anode flow field (12) secured adjacent the anode catalyst (70) for directing the reducing fluid to pass adjacent the anode catalyst (70); a cathode flow field (20) secured adjacent the cathode catalyst (64) for directing the process oxidant stream to pass adjacent the cathode catalyst (64); a direct antifreeze impermeable cooler plate (32) secured in heat exchange relationship with the cathode flow field (20); and a direct antifreeze solution passing through the cooler plate (32) for controlling temperature within the fuel cell (10). The direct antifreeze solution is an organic antifreeze solution that is not volatile at cell operating temperatures.</p> |
