    Abstract: A purge system for fuel cell stack includes a purge valve to regulate exhaust from the fuel cell stack in response control signals from a controller in response to a voltage across a purge cell portion of a fuel cell stack. The purge valve is opened when the voltage across the purge cell portion falls below a defined percentage of a threshold voltage. The threshold voltage can be equal to an average cell voltage of some or all of the fuel cells of the fuel cell stack. The purge may include one or more successive openings of the purge valve of controlled purge durations.

    Abstract: The activity of catalysts used in promoting the oxidation of certain oxidizable species in fluids can be enhanced via electrochemical methods, e.g., NEMCA. In particular, the activity of catalysts used in the selective oxidation of carbon monoxide can be enhanced. A purification system that exploits this effect is useful in purifying reformate supplied as fuel to a solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell stack. The purification system comprises an electrolytic cell with fluid diffusion electrodes. The activity of catalyst incorporated in the cell anode is enhanced.

    Abstract: In an improved electrochemical fuel cell assembly, a reactant flow path extends substantially linearly across the electrochemically active area of an electrode. The electrode has an in-plane nonuniform structure in its electrochemically active area as the active area is traversed in the direction of the substantially linear reactant flow path. Embodiments in which the structure of the fuel cell electrode varies substantially symmetrically along the reactant flow path are particularly preferred in fuel cells in which the flow direction of a reactant is periodically reversed.
