FUEL CELL POWER GENERATION FACILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17693569 titled 'FUEL CELL POWER GENERATION FACILITY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a proposed fuel cell power generation facility that consists of multiple fuel cell power generation modules. Each module includes a frame with a power module complete (PMC), an electric module, and a filter module. The frame also contains an electric module reservoir for cooling the electric module, an electric module cooling device connected to the reservoir, and an air guide to direct air from the cooling device towards radiation fins that cool a junction box of the PMC.
