ABSTRACT:
The invention generally relates to controlling the temperature and relative humidity of an incoming fuel cell reactant stream. In one aspect, a fuel cell system is provided that includes a fuel cell having an anode inlet adapted to receive a flow of anode gas from an anode inlet conduit, and a cathode inlet adapted to receive a flow of cathode gas from a cathode inlet conduit. A first heat exchange surface is adapted to contact the flow of anode gas within the anode inlet conduit, and a second heat exchange surface adapted to contact the flow of cathode gas within the cathode inlet conduit. A coolant system is adapted to circulate a coolant through a coolant conduit. The coolant system is adapted to transfer heat from each of the first and second heat exchange surfaces to the coolant.
