Abstract:
1. A modular direct methanol fuel cell system comprising: a fuel cell stack; a housing including a pump for supplying fuel from a fuel tank to the fuel cell stack; a system controller for electronically controlling the modular direct methanol fuel cell system; an integrated processor integrating a water condenser and a gas/liquid stream separator; fasteners connecting the water condenser and the gas/liquid stream separator; and at least one fluid opening providing fluid communication between the water condenser and the gas/liquid stream separator; a first fluid connector between the fuel cell stack and the integrated processor for feeding air and recycled fuel exiting the fuel cell stack to the integrated processor; a second fluid connector between the fuel cell stack and the integrated processor for feeding a fuel mixture from the integrated processor to the fuel cell stack; and a third fluid connector for feeding fresh fuel from the fuel tank to the integrated processor.
