Mobile Fuel Cell (FC) Power Systems
Benefits of Fuel Cell Compressors:
Increased fuel efficiency
Increased power density
Reduced stack size
Reduced cost
Compressed Air
Compressor** Fuel Cell*
Fuel Cell Automobile*

Lubrication Mechanism for Fuel Cell Compressor
Motivation Energy efficiency
Replacing oil lubricants with powder lubricants
Freeing depleting global oil supplies
Environmental concerns Testing “green”
lubricants
Tribological Advantages Stability, sustainability in
extreme environments (-100 oC to ~800 oC)

Problem StatementNeed for a novel lubrication system for fuel cell
compressorsOil-free lubrication to avoid fuel cell stacks contaminationLubrication must be adequate at extreme speeds (~160mph)
and high loads
Proposed MethodDesign and construction of tribometerConduct experimentsDevelopment of the powder lubrication (CVFC) model
Predicts tribological parameters (e.g., friction and wear)
