Patent
·
OSTI ID:7260468
This patent describes a fuel cell. It comprises an anode, an electrolyte, a cathode, a cathode chamber and a means for removing static product water from the cathode chamber characterized in that the means for static product water removal comprises a wick positioned at the base of and extending at least substantially the entire length of the cathode chamber. The wick being in contact with at least one exhaust manifold structure exiting the cathode chamber wherein the manifold structure contains a conduit structure which is permeable to liquid but impermeable to gas at gas pressures below the bubble pressure, P of the conduit structure where the bubble pressure, P is related to the pore size of the structure.
