Abstract
A self-powered space heater comprises a fan, a burner, a heat exchanger and an fuel cell assembly. The fan generates an air flow. The burner is positioned downstream of the fan and communicates therewith. The burner produces a hot gas. The heat exchanger is positioned downstream of the burner and is operatively connected therewith for receiving at least some of the hot gas. The heat exchanger provides heat for an associated enclosure. The fuel cell assembly provides electrical energy to operate the space heater. The fuel cell assembly is operatively connected to the burner for receiving at least some of the hot gas. The fuel cell assembly includes a fuel cell component and a heat compartment for generating heat to heat the fuel cell component. A thermal output of the burner provides sufficient hot gas to operate both the heat exchanger and the fuel cell assembly.
