Abstract
An electrochemical cell system and a method of controlling water imbalance is provided. The electrochemical cell system and the method both include determining a present water imbalance in the electrochemical cell by summing a waterand a waterless a water; tracking a cumulative water imbalance during operation of the electrochemical cell by repeatedly determining the present water imbalance and continuing to sum the results during operation; and adjusting a flow rate of the oxidant feed gas entering the electrochemical cell based on the cumulative water imbalance.
