Abstract:In this study, two novel valve-less impedance pumps are applied, for the first time, in the liquid fuel supply of a Direct Sodium Borohydride–Hydrogen Peroxide Fuel Cell (DBHPFC). This valve-less pump prevents the pump corrosion and serves appropriately to reduce the volume and weight of fuel cell systems. It comprises an amber latex rubber tube, connected at both ends to rigid stainless steel tubes of different acoustic impedance, and a simple actuation mechanism which combines a small DC motor and a cam.
