Claim 0:
1. A method of dissipating heat in a system comprising:
passing a coolant used in a fuel cell system through a radiator,
dissipating heat produced by the fuel cell system by using water output from the fuel cell system,
evaporating the water output from the fuel cell system,
operating at least one fan arranged adjacent the radiator to direct air flow toward the radiator,
cooling the radiator by the evaporated water output from the fuel cell system to produce an evaporative cooling effect, and
using a controller that comprises a look ahead power estimator, a fuel cell liquid water estimator, and an evaporative cooling benefit to determine when to create the evaporative cooling effect.
