Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A recirculation fuel cell device, which can be utilized on a submarine, may include a fuel cell with an anode side and a cathode side, wherein both the anode and cathode sides have input and output sides. The device may include a first inlet for oxygen and a second inlet for hydrogen. The device may further include a cathode-side connection between the output side of the cathode side and the input side of the cathode side, and an anode-side connection between the output side of the anode side and the input side of the anode side. A water separator may be disposed in the cathode-side connection, and a gas discharge valve for a continuous release of process gases may be disposed on the output side of the cathode side of the fuel cell. Operation of the device may involve recirculating an anode gas stream in its entirety.
