Steam producing hydrocarbon fueled power plant employing a PEM fuel cell

摘要: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for creating steam from the cooling stream of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. As exits PEM cell, portion fluid is extracted circulating stream, thereby secondary fluid. This passes through restriction, which decreases pressure its saturation pressure, such that when enters flash evaporator it transforms into steam. Creating cell power plant provides processor with co-generated source without adding significant amount auxiliary equipment plant.
