Abstract

The purpose of the experimental work is to determine the conditions for which an enclosure can guest a fuel cell for civil use. Concerning the installation permitting guide, this study allows the safe use of the fuel cell in case of small not catastrophic leakages. In fact the correct plan of the vents in the enclosure guarantees the low concentration of hydrogen (H2) below the LFL.
