A low temperature PEM fuel cell system is prevented against freezing after a shutdown in sub-freezing conditions. The fuel cell can be heated by filling an anode chamber with a fuel (the hydrogen or a hydrogen-rich reactant gas) and generating the hydrogen on a cathode. A defined amount of air is supplied to the cathode chamber. The fuel cell is locally heated to a defined temperature by the exothermic chemical reaction between the hydrogen and the oxygen on a cathode catalyst. Once the fuel cell is warmed to the defined temperature, the hydrogen generation on the cathode and the air supply can be discontinued. Water formed at the cathode can be evaporated by means of pre-heating of an air flow. This procedure provides plain saturation of the cathode with the hydrogen and, as result, mild, safe heating the fuel cell without use of an additional external power supply.

This invention provides a pet enclosure designed to provide comfort for a pet in the winter season. The pet enclosure provides for shelter by allowing the pet to get out of the weather and then provides a warm bed to lie upon. This warm bed is comprised of a rectangular rigid plastic container, similar to a tall, wide, narrow gas can, which is recessed into the floor of the pet enclosure.

When the pet lies on the bedding, the insulating value of the bedding is drastically reduced and the heat travels through the bedding and the pet is warmed. This provides for a comfortable warm area for the pet to enjoy on cold winter days.
