摘要:
A fuel cell system comprises a fuel cell, a reactant gas pipe for supplying a reactant gas to the fuel cell, and an injector for controlling the state of the gas on the upstream side in the reactant gas pipe and supplying the reactant gas to the downstream side by driving a valve element with an electromagnetic drive force at a predetermined drive cycle to separate the valve element from a valve seat. The injector is provided integrally in the fuel cell, and hence the vibration and noise of the injector can be absorbed and suppressed by the fuel cell as a heavy article.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel cell system capable of raising the temperature of a discharge valve and restraining the discharge valve from freezing by a simple structure. The fuel cell system has a circulation system for circulating hydrogen off gas, which is discharged from a fuel cell, to the fuel cell, an exhaust/drain valve for discharging a fluid passing through the circulation system to the outside, and a refrigerant flow path through which a refrigerant, which is circulated to the fuel cell, flows. The exhaust/drain valve has a valve body provided with a flow path which interconnects the interior of the circulation system and the outside. A part of the refrigerant flow path is provided by penetrating the valve body so as to be independent of the flow path.

An object is to provide a fuel cell system having a simple structure, which is capable of supplying gas appropriately through an ejector in accordance with the load of a fuel cell. The fuel cell system (1) uses an ejector (24) disposed in a gas supply system (4) to combine a new gas to be supplied to the fuel cell (2) with an off-gas discharged from the fuel cell (2) and supply the fuel cell (2) with the resulting combined gas. The ejector (24) includes a nozzle (46) for ejecting the new gas and generating a negative pressure for aspirating the off-gas, and a flow rate control mechanism (47) for controlling the flow rate of the new gas which passes through the nozzle (46). A first flow path (81) for leading the off-gas to the flow rate control mechanism (47) is provided in the gas supply system (4), and the flow rate control mechanism (47) controls the flow rate of the new gas in accordance with the pressure of the off-gas led from the first flow path (81).

A rubber (elastic substance) is attached by vulcanization and an annular sealing member 4 is formed in an annular groove 3 having a step and provided in the bottom wall of a body 2 of a valve disc 1. The sealing member 4 has an annular portion 41 and an annular portion 42. Most of the annular portions 41, 42 are located in a deep groove portion 31 and a shallow groove portion 32, respectively, and the volume of the annular portion 41 is larger than the volume of the annular portion 42. Furthermore, an annular protrusion 43, which protrudes downward, is provided in the boundary region between the annular portions 41, 42. An inclined section that is inclined at the prescribed inner angle Q is also formed in the boundary region.

Provided are an ejector which is capable of linearly controlling an ejection flow rate relative to the amount of movement of a needle to enhance its overall applicability and a fuel cell system with this ejector. The ejector 24 includes a nozzle 46 for ejecting a fluid, a needle 48 disposed coaxial with the nozzle 46 and having a tip end portion 48a which faces the nozzle 46, and needle moving means 49 for causing the needle 48 to advance and retreat axially. The shape of the tip end portion 48a of the needle 48 is set such that the opening area Y of the gap between the tip end portion 48a of the needle 48 and the nozzle 46 and the amount Z of movement produced by the needle moving means 49 satisfy a proportional relationship.
摘要:
A valve in which durability of a sealing member made from an elastic material can be increased and sealing capability can be advantageously maintained over a wide range from a large differential pressure to a low differential pressure. A valve (100), in which a valve disc (1) and a valve seat (2) are brought into close contact via a sealing member (5) composed of an elastic material and provided at the valve disc (1) or valve seat (2), comprises a throttle section (30) defined by the shape of at least one of the valve disc (1) and valve seat (2). The throttle section (30) narrows a flow passage formed between the valve disc (1) and valve seat (2) and is provided near the sealing member (5). The flow passage narrowed by the throttle section (30) is so set that narrowing preferentially proceeds in the flow passage in close proximity to the sealing member (5) during the closing operation of the valve disc (1).

The present application provides a technique prevents a regulator arranged on a gas supplying path that supplies gas to a fuel cell installed in a fuel cell system from functioning erroneously, by controlling the pressure increase within the upper stream side of the regulator. The fuel cell system includes a fuel cell, an oxide gas supplying path to supply oxide gas to the fuel cell, a fuel gas supplying path to supply fuel gas to the fuel cell, a secondary regulator arranged on the fuel supplying path, a bypass path communicating the upper stream side path of the secondary regulator with the lower stream side path of the secondary regulator, and a pressure controlling valve that is closed in a case where the pressure difference between the upper stream side path and the lower stream side path is less than a predetermined amount, and opened in a case where the pressure difference between the upper stream side path and the lower stream side path exceeds the predetermined amount.
