Fuel cell system for a ship

Abstract

Fuel cell system for a ship The present invention relates to a fuel cell system (10) for a ship, comprising a fuel cell comprising an electrochemical cell system (11) comprising two inlets (23, 24) and two outlets (25, 26) and supplied with hydrogen and oxygen via its inlets (23, 24) and ejecting via its outlets (25, 26) an outlet stream, the outlet stream comprising liquid water and a gaseous phase. The fuel cell system (10) further comprises a reforming system (12) capable of producing hydrogen from a fuel and water, and water reuse means (14) capable of separating the liquid water from the gaseous phase in the outlet stream from the two outlets (25, 26) and injecting the recovered liquid water into the reforming system (12).
