  • Publication number: 20090004536
    Abstract: A direct methanol fuel cell integrated process assembly is provided. The assembly includes a housing, a fuel mixing/surge tank and an air/liquid separator integrated to the housing. A vent of the mixer/surge tank is at least proximal to a vent of the separator. The housing further includes at least one condensation pathway integrated along the housing, where the pathway enables exhaust condensates to return to the assembly. At least one exhaust port is provided, which vents directly to a cooling airstream to facilitate exhaust removal. A manifold is also provided, with the fuel valve, a water valve, a fuel pump and a water pump integrated with the housing, where the integrated process assembly reduces an amount of plumbing between the a liquid volume in the mixer and the separator. Further, a water volume of the process assembly is reduced and a form factor of the process assembly is also reduced.
