| Zusammenfassung: | A liquid electrolyte fuel cell system (10) comprises at least one fuel cell with a liquid electrolyte chamber between opposed electrodes, the electrodes being an anode and a cathode, and means (30, 32) for supplying a gas stream to a gas chamber adjacent to the cathode and withdrawing a spent gas stream (38) from the gas chamber adjacent to the cathode, the system also comprising a liquid electrolyte storage tank (40), and means (42, 44, 47, 48) to circulate liquid electrolyte between the liquid electrolyte storage tank (40) and the fuel cells. In addition the system comprises a gas heater (50) and a humidification chamber (52) in the duct (36) leading to the said gas chamber, and means (53, 66, 68) to supply liquid electrolyte to the humidification chamber (52) so the gas is humidified by contact with the liquid electrolyte. |
