Research abstract
Regenerative Fuel Cells (RFCs) offer a energy dense storage solution for lunar applications. Many aspects of RFCs can be configured and customized for a specific scenario. One such component is the coolant pumps. In this scenario the coolant pumps must be capable of operating at high pressure in a thermal vacuum environment. Additionally, long operational life is desired as maintenance intervals are limited. To meet this solution Lynntech proposes an electrochemical pump which utilizes technology similar to the Electrolyser and Fuel Cell stacks to meet the fluid flow requirements for cooling RFCs in a lunar environment.
