ABSTRACT:
An integrated system for air-cooling a main air blower drive motor and electronic control module in a fuel cell plant support module (PSM) disposed in an enclosure. Process air is drawn by a main blower fan into the enclosure through a filter and then is drawn from the enclosure into the blower via a first shroud surrounding the electronics process control module (ECM) and a second shroud surrounding the blower motor. The air cools these components and is thereby desirably warmed before being directed to the fuel cell assembly via an air distribution system. Thus, the PSM is constantly cooled and purged through the downstream processes, and the incoming air is constantly warmed by recovered heat from the PSM.
