ABSTRACT:
A fuel cell wherein the electrolyte comprises a volatilizable solvent and a solute whose solubility in the solvent varies with electrolyte temperature can be operated by increasing or decreasing the amount of solvent relative to the amount of solute as the solubility of the latter in the solvent respectively decreases or increases due to variations in the temperatures of the electrolyte in the cell or cell system. A suitable fuel cell has an anode compartment supplied by a fuel and uses an electrolyte comprising an aqueous solution of at least one salt and has a cathode compartment supplied with a gas containing molecular oxygen, wherein the electrolyte is conveyed from a first container and returned to the latter after passing through said anode compartment and comprises a condenser suitable for condensing a predetermined quantity of the water vapor present in the gases emerging from the cathode compartment and a second container receiving condensed water from said condenser, this latter container communicating with said first container by means of an overflow and a valve.
