Title:
AEROSPACE FUEL CELL SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/114353
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A fuel cell system (100) configured to provide electrical power to an electrical motor (102) producing propulsive thrust for an aircraft includes a plurality of fuel cell stacks (106) radially arranged about a central cavity (108). Fuel cell plates (110) within each of the fuel cell stacks (106) are oriented such that major surfaces of the fuel cell plates (110) are parallel to an airflow created by the aircraft as it moves through the air. The fuel cell system (100) further includes a plurality of cooling devices (114) disposed in radial cavities (116) located between at least two fuel cell stacks (106) in the plurality of fuel cell stacks (106).
