Power system for a telecommunications facility
First Claim
1. A power supply system for a telecommunications facility, comprising:
- a liquid source;
a vaporizing system for the vaporization of a liquid from said liquid source into a vaporous fuel, said vaporizing system including a heater for the purpose of avoiding the development of frozen condensate on said vaporizing system, said vaporization resulting in heat absorption;
a cooling system which is adapted to use said heat absorption for cooling said facility; and
a generator which generates electric current using said vaporous fuel.

Abstract
An energy generating system for a telecommunications facility includes a hydrogen fuel supply system. The hydrogen fuel supply system includes a source of liquid hydrogen which uses a high pressure expansion tank along with additional storage tanks. The system also incorporates first and second stage heat exchangers. The first stage exchanger is used to benefit from the endothermic reaction created when liquid hydrogen transforms into vapor. The cooling provided from this state change is transferred into a second medium which is delivered into a second stage heat transfer device and then used for air conditioning purposes. The system also includes a hydrogen generator which may be used to create AC power by combusting vaporous hydrogen.
