What is the fuel cell generator?
The fuel cell generator is a device that produces electricity through electrochemical reactions instead of combustion of fuel. Although they are often associated with pure hydrogen technologies, fuel cell generators can use various fuel sources, including traditional fossil fuels such as natural gas. The fuel cell generator uses multiple fuel cells grouped into the "tank" along with supporting components to produce the required voltage and current. Generators using fuel cell technology have been made in different sizes, from small portable units to generators of a trailer size capable of powering small cities.
In the heart of any fuel cell generator are fuel cells that use electrochemical reactions rather than combustion of fuel to produce electricity. As a result, fuel cell technology is much cleaner than conventional generators that produce by -products such as ash, carbon dioxide and pollutants,that create smog. There are many types of fuel cells and a wide range of materials can be used in their construction, but the basic principle remains the same: the source of fuel triggers more chemical reactions with the fuel cell components to form electrons. Although they are often considered synonymous with hydrogen energy, fuel cells can use traditional fossil fuels such as natural gas. Alternative fuel such as biogas or methane can also be used in many proposals.
The only fuel cell itself cannot create enough electricity to be useful in most applications, so they are often grouped into what is called fuel cell magazine. The number of individual cells in the tank depends on the intended use of the system and the large fuel cell generator may include multiple piles. In addition to the tank or pile, the generator contains other components such as insulation, storage vesselHe used fuel and devices to extract hydrogen from various sources of fuel. If the generator is used to replenish or replace the electric grid, the inverter must be used to convert direct current (DC) produced by fuel cells into alternating current (AC) used in grid and domestic devices.
Since the number of fuel cells in the tank may vary, the fuel cell generator may come in a wide range of sizes. Some very small products are focused on charging devices for consumer electronics such as mobile phones and laptops. Generators of residential fuel cells that usually produce between 1 and 5 kilowatts are often used in something called a system of combined heat and power (CP) to provide both electricity and heat. Companies have larger units of trailer size with a trailer for a trailer to return to the mains during the period of high demand to feed additional energy into the mains. Mobile units were made for onSoldering cars, buses, submarines and even spacecraft.
