EPS AND EC$ CONSU._PTION DATA•<br />
Gxygen and hydrogen reactants (from the cryogenic Storage<br />
system) are consumed by the EPS fuel cell power plants in the<br />
generation of electrical mower, for the S/C. Water, as a<br />
byproduct, is provided for the ECS. Oxygen from the cryogenic<br />
storage system is also supplied to the ECS for metabolic con-<br />
sumption by the cre_emters and for pressurization of the crew<br />
compartment and the PGA. Vhe cryogenic tanks for oxygen and<br />
hydrogen are initially filiei to at least 97 percent of full<br />
capacitr. Nominal values for these consumables are as follows:<br />

the sane cryogenic storage system (489 pounds<br />
of usable 02 for the EPS and 151 pounds for the<br />
ECS).<br />
EP2 Fuel Cell Reactants Consumption.<br />
The 02 and H 2 cons,&mption versus electrical output for<br />
one, two, or three fuel cell power plants is shown in<br />
figure h-2[. Only the }{o curve is given. (The 02 consumption<br />
rate is eight times the H2 rate.) Water generated by the 1_el<br />
