  • WASTE HEAT CONTROL FOR AIRCRAFT FUEL CELL
    Publication number: 20240190577
    Abstract: One embodiment is an aircraft having a least one of an aircraft motor or an aircraft motor drive, and a metal-air fuel cell. The aircraft has a waste heat transfer system including a diverter system. The diverter system selectively couples the metal-air fuel cell and the at least one of the aircraft motor or the aircraft motor drive. The aircraft has a control system to operate the waste heat transfer system to selectively transfer waste heat from the at least one of the aircraft motor or the aircraft motor drive to the metal-air fuel cell. The control system determines a power output status of the metal-air fuel cell, and to operate the diverter system to transfer the waste heat from the at least one of the aircraft motor or the aircraft motor drive to the metal-air fuel cell in response to determining the power output status.

  • Waste heat transfer system for aircraft fuel cell
    Patent number: 11851203
    Abstract: An aircraft has an aircraft propulsor and/or an aircraft propulsor drive. The aircraft propulsor and/or an aircraft propulsor drive acts as a waste heat source. The aircraft has a metal-air fuel cell. The aircraft has a waste heat transfer system configured to thermally couple the metal-air fuel cell and a waste heat source. The aircraft includes a control system configured to operate the waste heat transfer system to selectively transfer waste heat from the waste heat source to the metal-air fuel cell.
