Abstract
An air compression system for a fuel cell system, the air compression system has a main air compressor with a maximum air flow output approximately equal to a continuous mode air flow requirement of the fuel cell system. The main air compressor weighs less than an air compressor having a maximum air flow output approximately equal to a peak air flow requirement of the fuel cell system such that the weight of the air compression system is reduced compared to a conventional air compression system. The air compression system also includes a supplemental oxygen supply system which is fluidically coupled with the fuel cell system.
