  • Patent number: 9444116
    Abstract: An electrochemical converter with proton membrane includes a plurality of electrochemical unitary cells connected in series and arranged on a carrier tape elongated along a longitudinal axis, a first face of which has anodes that receive hydrogen and a second face has cathodes that receive air, wherein the hydrogen circulates in a flow parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aforementioned tape and the air circulates in a flow transverse to the longitudinal axis of the aforementioned tape, and separation means dividing the air flow into a cooling flow having no contact with the cathodes and a cathodic reaction flow in contact with the cathodes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 8, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2016
    Assignee: PRAGMA INDUSTRIES

  • Patent number: 7622212
    Abstract: An electrochemical converter (1) with protonic membrane, includes a plurality of series-connected unit electrochemical conversion cells (2a, 2b, 2c, . . . ), a first substrate including the protonic membrane having a first surface on which a succession of first deposits is made forming a series of spaced anodes, and a second surface on which a succession of second deposits is made forming a series of spaced cathodes located opposite the anodes, the anodes and cathodes forming a plurality of unit conversion cells (2a, 2b, 2c, . . . ) and connection tracks between a cathode of one unit cell and an anode of an adjacent unit cell, passing through the first substrate between the unit conversion cells.
