Abstract
A power system utilizes a fuel cell for DC output, which is inverted to power an air conditioner. The air conditioner is used for the purpose of cooling equipment in the facility in the event the primary source of AC power fails. The air conditioner is located so that it is devoted to one or more computing devices in the facility. The selected devices are ones which perform some critical function, e.g., emergency communications.
