Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014086550A1] The invention relates to a fuel cell array, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a tank for receiving a carrier fluid mixed with hydrogen, a separating device for separating hydrogen from the carrier fluid, a fuel cell for generating electrical energy from the hydrogen, and a heating arrangement for heating the carrier fluid mixed with hydrogen. The heating arrangement comprises a first heat exchanger for heating the carrier fluid by means of a carrier fluid return line, and/or a second heat exchanger for heating the carrier fluid by means of the waste heat of the fuel cell, and/or a third heat exchanger for heating the carrier fluid by means of a compressed intake air.
