PASSIVE COOLING CELL STACK Inventors: SYSTEM FOR FUEL (51) (52) (57) passive cooling system for a fuel cell stack is provided. Passive cooling system includes a plurality of cooling plates, each installed between every few unit cells. Heat exchanger installed on a primary coolant flow line to change a vapor state primary coolant to a liquid state secondary coolant. Flow of the primary coolant is achieved by natural convection caused by vaporization
