WATER VAPOR MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL METHODOLOGY SYSTEM FOR SINGLE AND MULTIPLE HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS USED FOR COMBUSTION AUGMENTATION IN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES AND METHOD

摘要

A system for managing moisture content of hydrogen and oxygen gas produced by a fuel cell for a fuel supplement for an internal combustion engine, with a tank holding process water and respective separate hydrogen and oxygen header spaces for receiving hydrogen and oxygen gas having moisture content wherein some moisture content forms droplets and falls into the process water yielding dried hydrogen and oxygen gases for communicating through supply lines to the engine as a fuel supplement during operation. A method is disclosed for managing moisture content of hydrogen and oxygen gas produced by a fuel cell for delivery as a fuel supplement to an engine.
