Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012076445A1] The invention relates to a device for generating electricity using a fuel cell, including a means (1) for generating fuel and comburent gases, and at least one unit (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10) for packaging either the fuel or comburent gas. The packaging unit includes at least one means (3) for drying before the pressurized storage of the gas, at least one means (5) for the pressurized storage of the gas, and at least one means for humidifying the gas after removing same from storage. According to the invention, the drying means (3) is configured such that, in a fuel-cell operating mode, said means operates at a temperature at least equal to 60°C, and at least partially provides the humidification of the gas passing therethrough in the fuel-cell operating mode, by means of at least partially restoring the water extracted from the gas passing therethrough in a gas-production/storage operating mode.
