Abstract:

Fuel-cell power systems proposed for underwater applications may be categorized according to the method of adaptation to the hydrostatic pressure environment, namely a pressure-equilibrated or an encapsulated concept. The pressure-equilibrated concept is attractive in systems using liquid reactants because it eliminates requirements for the any hard containment vessel with its significant weight penalty. In the report, an attempt is made to interpret hydrazine fuel-cell performance and to resolve fuel-cell problems arising from operation in dynamic pressurized environments as they relate to fuel-cell design.
