Oxygen Chemistry

Abstract

The Project objective was to demonstrate the technology of oxygen extraction from seawater by designing a submarine powered by a fuel cell and oxygen supplied by Aquanautics system. A new cell design concept has been introduced where the carrier fluid flows through the felt in a direction perpendicular to membrane separator. This allows much lower pressure head and therefore lowers pumping costs since the fluid velocity and path length are small. The fluid also passes through all the electric potentials of the electrodes. Keywords: Oxygen generators; Submarines; Power cells.
