INTEGRATED FUEL CELL AND PRESSURE SWING ADSORPTION SYSTEM

摘要

An integrated fuel cell and pressure swing adsorption system is disclosed for operating a solid polymer fuel cell on an enriched reactant stream. The fuel and/or oxidant streams may be enriched; for example, air and reformate streams may be oxygen and hydrogen enriched, respectively. The system may advantageously combine periodic reversal of the reactant flows through the fuel cell with use of an integrated pressure swing adsorption system.
