연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The invention claimed is: 1. A fuel cell system, comprising: a fuel cell having a hydrogen rich fuel inlet, an oxygen rich oxidant inlet, an anode tail gas outlet, and a cathode gas outlet; a source of hydrogen rich fuel connected to said hydrogen rich fuel inlet; a source of oxygen rich gas for said oxygen rich oxidant inlet; and at least one humidifier interposed between at least one of said sources and its associated inlet and having a reactant flow path interconnecting said one source and said associated inlet in heat exchange relation with an energy containing medium flow oath, and a source of aqueous material con-nected to said reactant flow path for introducing liquid aqueous material into said reactant flow oath to be vaporized therein; said energy containing medium flow path being connected to one of said outlets to receive a heated fluid therefrom to provide heat of vaporization to said liquid aqueous material by heat exchange between said flow paths wherein there are two said humidifiers having their reactant flow paths connected in series. 2. The fuel cell system of claim 1 wherein there are said two said humidifiers having their reactant flow paths connected in series between said fuel inlet and said fuel source. 3. The fuel cell system of claim 1 wherein there are two said humidifiers having their reactant flow paths connected in series between said oxidant inlet and said source of oxygen rich gas. 4. A fuel cell system, comprising: a fuel cell having a hydrogen rich fuel inlet, an oxygen rich oxidant inlet, an anode tail gas outlet, and a cathode gas outlet; a source of hydrogen rich fuel connected to said hydrogen rich fuel inlet; a source of oxygen rich gas for said oxygen rich oxidant inlet; and at least one humidifier interposed between at least one of said sources and its associated inlet and having a reactant flow path interconnecting said one source and said associated inlet in heat exchange relation with an energy containing medium flow path, and a source of aqueous material connected to said reactant flow path for introducing liquid aqueous material into said reactant flow path to be vaporized therein; said energy containing medium flow path being connected to one of said outlets to receive a heated fluid therefrom to provide heat of vaporization to said liquid aqueous material by heat exchange between said flow paths wherein said source of aqueous material includes the energy containing medium flow path of said humidifier which is connected to said cathode gas outlet to receive a cathode exhaust fluid flow therefrom. 5. A fuel cell system, comprising: a fuel cell having a hydrogen rich fuel inlet, an oxygen rich oxidant inlet, an anode tail gas outlet, and a cathode gas outlet; a source of hydrogen rich fuel connected to said hydrogen rich fuel inlet; a source of oxygen rich gas for said oxygen rich oxidant inlet; and a source of aqueous material for humidifying fuel and/or oxygen rich gas; a humidifier having a reactant flow path connected between at least one of said fuel and gas sources and to said aqueous material source and a corresponding one of said inlets and an energy containing medium flow path in heat exchange relation with said reactant flow path and connected between said cathode gas outlet and said aqueous material source; whereby vaporized aqueous material flowing as cathode exhaust from said cathode gas outlet through said energy containing medium flow path is condensed in said humidifier to provide aqueous material to said source for ultimate use as a humidifying agent in said humidifier reactant flow path. 6. The fuel cell system of claim 5 wherein said reactant flow path is interposed between said oxygen rich gas source and said oxygen rich oxidant inlet. 7. The fuel cell system of claim 5 wherein said aqueous material source includes a separator receiving outflow from said energy containing medium flow path. 8.
