Abstract: In some implementations, a method may include obtaining target fault data indicating a preselected fault for a vehicle having a hydrogen source. In addition, the method may include obtaining vehicle fault data indicating a fault of the vehicle. The method may include identifying a match between the fault and the preselected fault. Moreover, the method may include purging, in response to the identifying the match, hydrogen from the hydrogen source so as to reduce consequences of a battery thermal event by reducing the likelihood of a hydrogen-fueled fire.

Abstract: Integrated cooling systems including a frame configured for mounting to a vehicle chassis in a path of ram air entering an engine compartment of a vehicle, a radiator connected to the frame in the ram air path, a waste heat recovery (WHR) condenser, a recouperator connected to the frame above a ram air path and coupled to the WHR condenser, and a coolant boiler connected to the frame below the ram air path and coupled to the radiator and recouperator are disclosed. Cooling systems configured for use in a WHR system, including an inlet header fixedly disposed on a first end of a condenser, the inlet header fluidly coupled to a heat exchanger to receive the working fluid, and a receiver fixedly disposed on a second end of the condenser opposite the first end, the receiver configured to receive the working fluid from the condenser are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of detecting a hydrogen leak in a system comprising a hydrogen storage system storing hydrogen, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a hydrogen storage system controller, and a notification system. The hydrogen storage system controller is configured to measure thermodynamic properties of the hydrogen in the hydrogen storage system, and the thermodynamic properties of the hydrogen are used to determine if there is a hydrogen leak in the fuel cell system. The notification system alerts a user of any detected hydrogen leak.
