    摘要: A fuel cell (FC) system operating as its own hydrogen leak detector. The system including at least one cathode and cathode conduit for passage of oxidant to the cathode and a housing containing one or more FCs and defining a plenum around the FC. A ventilation system forces air from the plenum into the cathode conduit and a control system monitors the FC voltage and detects a drop in voltage attributable to hydrogen in the cathode conduit. A control system may include actual cell voltage monitoring of the FC or of one or more cells in the FC stack and a processor for receiving inputs indicative of the operation of the FC or FC stack and/or to determine an expected voltage of FC(s) being monitored and whether the difference between the actual and expected voltage(s) exceeds a predetermined threshold indicative of a predetermined level of hydrogen in the cathode conduit.

    摘要: A valve assembly (6) comprises a valve stem (21) with a resilient proximal seal member (25) and a distal seal member (28) disposed around the stem. The proximal and distal seal members are axially separated from one another along the valve stem. A housing defines a valve chamber in which the valve stem is confined so as to be axially displaceable within the valve chamber. The housing defines a first portion (41) of the valve chamber in which the proximal seal member resides and a second portion (42) of the valve chamber in which the distal seal member resides. The housing further defines a cross-bore chamber(12) which opens into the valve chamber in a third portion (43) between the first and second portions. The third portion has a minimum cross-sectional diameter greater than the cross-sectional diameter of the first portion, and preferably larger than the uncompressed diameter of the proximal seal member. During assembly, as the proximal seal on the valve stem passes the cross-bore, risk of damage to the proximal seal by machined edges of the cross-bore/valve chamber is reduced or avoided.

    摘要: A fuel supply (10) is attachable to a fuel cell system (12). The fuel supply includes a fuel supply connector (14) configured to be attached to the fuel cell system. A fuel supply connector automatically separates the fuel supply from the fuel cell system in a predetermined manner if exposed to a separation load. Valves (24, 26) or filler material (23a-d) are used to automatically stop the flow of fuel through the fuel supply connector. Alternatively, the fuel supply connector includes a flexible tube (114) and a valve disposed within the connector. The flexibility of the tube prevents the connector from breaking in case of a separation load.
