Fuel Cells

 Fuel Cells have emerged as one of the most promising technologies for the power source of the future. Fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts energy into electricity and heat without combustion Fuel cells are modular in construction, their efficiency is independent of size and have flexibility of using a wide range of fuels to produce hydrogen/reformate suitable for fuel cell applications. Fuel cells require relatively pure hydrogen free of contaminants such as sulphur and carbon compounds etc. When hydrogen rich reformate gas mixture is used, it results in some emissions similar to lean hydrogen – air mixture burning in IC engines. The fuel cell systems are more efficient than IC engines and turbines. Fuel cells are considered suitable for a broad spectrum of applications ranging from a few milli watts to several kilowatts. 6.1.3 Fuel cells are the long term option for hydrogen applications both for transportation and power generation. Fuel cells especially for vehic...
