Abstract
A filtration system for a fuel cell hybrid propulsion system includes a first stage filter, a second stage filter positioned downstream of the first stage filter, and a third stage filter positioned downstream of the second stage filter and configured to be positioned upstream of a fuel cell system. The first stage filter has first pores with a first mean pore size. The second stage filter has second pores with a second mean pore size. The third stage filter has third pores with a third mean pore size. The second mean pore size is less than the first mean pore size. The third mean pore size is less than or equal to the second mean pore size. The first, second, and third stage filter are structured to filter an airflow prior to being received by the fuel cell system.
