Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system is provided comprising a fuel cell and a cooling system. The cooling system comprises a first heat exchanger fluidly connected to a cathode outlet passage of the fuel cell. The first heat exchanger is configured to condense at least a portion of a fluid passing through the cathode outlet passage of the fuel cell into liquid water. The cooling system also comprises a second heat exchanger fluidly connected to an outlet passage of the first heat exchanger and a cathode inlet passage of the fuel cell. The second heat exchanger is configured to cool a fluid passing into the cathode inlet passage of the fuel cell.
