Mobile APU Systém Based on the PEM Fuel Cells Stack – an Energy Balancing and Air Purification Issues

Original language description

Portable power sources and/or auxiliary power units (APU) represent nowadays and important field of development. It is connected with rapid wide spreading of different control, communication and other electronic systems becoming crucial for many domains of human live. PEM type fuel cells represent promising approach to accomplish this task having important advantages when compared to the conventional batteries or to the combustion engine based technologies. They are characterized by efficient conversion of chemical energy carried by fuel into electrical energy and by a silent operation. Beside electricity main products of PEM fuel cells operation are only pure water and heat. These facts represent main reasons, why the fuel cell stacks can be successfully used as portable power sources e.g. for mobile medical beds or in field hospitals, power source for speleologist, rescues operations in outlying areas, or backup power source for firefighters and police. Mobile PEM fuel cell based APUs can also be used as a backup power source for telecommunication transmitters or meteorological stations. In all these applications weight represents a very important factor. It cannot overstep the upper limit of 15 kg. Air is typically used as an oxidant to reduce weight and size of the system, as the oxygen gas cylinder is in such a case avoidable.
