Hydrogen is supplied to the anode, where it is broken down into protons and electrons. The most important auxiliaries include a coolant pump and the recirculation fan—a turbo compressor that forces air into the cells, returning unconsumed hydrogen back to the anode and thus increasing efficiency. liters (1.0 US gal) of gasoline.
