Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A portable fuel cell system and related method are disclosed. The system includes a fuel cell having an anode port through which passes an anode gas, a cathode port through which passes a cathode gas, and an exhaust port through which passes an exhaust gas. The system further includes a pump having a pump inlet and a pump outlet, wherein the pump inlet is coupled to the exhaust port of the fuel cell. The pump is configured to draw the anode gas into the anode port, to draw the cathode gas into the cathode port, and to draw the exhaust gas out of the exhaust port. La présente invention concerne un système de pile à combustible portable et un procédé associé. Le système comprend une pile à combustible ayant un orifice d'anode à travers lequel passe un gaz anodique, un orifice de cathode à travers lequel passe un gaz cathodique, et un orifice d'échappement à travers lequel passe un gaz d'échappement. Le système comprend en outre une pompe ayant un orifice d'entrée de pompe et un orifice de sortie de pompe, lequel orifice d'entrée de pompe est couplé à l'orifice d'échappement de la pile à combustible. La pompe est conçue pour amener le gaz anodique dans l'orifice d'anode, pour amener le gaz cathodique dans l'orifice de cathode, et pour faire sortie le gaz d'échappement par l'orifice d'échappement.
