Abstract
822,086. Fuel batteries. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. April 25, 1958 [May 3, 1957], No. 14220/57. Class 53. An hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell having porous electrodes in which the difference in pressure between the gases and the electrolyte is balanced by capillary attraction in the pores of the electrodes, is provided with a hydrogen circulation system including a condenser for the steam carried by the hydrogen, the condensed water being periodically released by a valve controlled by the difference in pressure between the electrolyte and the hydrogen. Fig. 1 shows a battery of fuel cells which may be of the kind described in Specification 667,298. The battery is divided by a distributer plate 2 containing openings for the ingress of the gases and electrolyte and removal of waste products. Hydrogen is supplied to the battery through a pipe 3 and is circulated by a pump 6 through a return pipe 5. Hydrogen leaving the battery emerges through a pipe 25 into a condenser 26 from which it leaves by a pipe 27 leading to the pump 6. The battery works at a temperature of about 200‹ C. and the circulating hydrogen carries steam which condenses in the condenser 26. When the condensate reaches the pipes 25, 27 it closes them and the circulation of hydrogen ceases. Oxygen is supplied through a pipe 10, and electrolyte is supplied through pipes 12, 15 and circulated through a pipe 14. The circuit for the electrolyte also includes a pipe 18 leading to the upper side of a diaphragm 30 in a control valve 19. The lower side of the diaphragm is subjected to the pressure of the hydrogen which is conveyed through the pipe 31. The difference in the pressures on the two sides of the diaphragm is balanced by an adjustable spring 32. A valve 41 is connected to the diaphragm and opens to allow water to flow from the condenser 26 to the atmosphere through a steam trap 45 when the pressure in the pipe 31 is reduced owing to the closing of the pipes 25, 27 by condensed steam. If steam is condensed at a greater rate than the formation of water in the battery, some of the condensate is released by the valve 19, the remainder being circulated round the exterior of the battery to act as cooling water and being returned as steam to the oxygen electrodes through pipes, (not shown). A circulating system may also be provided for the oxygen.
