摘要： A fuel cell purge system includes a primary fuel cell in fluid communication with a purge cell. Fuel and oxidant purged with inert gas impurities from the primary fuel cell react in the purge cell, thereby decreasing the volume of purged gases and facilitating storage while maintaining fuel cell electrochemical performance.

摘要： A fuel cell fluid discharge system, a fuel cell system, and a method for discharging byproducts produced during fuel cell operation are provided. The fluid discharge system comprises an inlet port, a discharge port, and a vessel. The vessel comprises a vessel port and an adjustable wall. The adjustable wall forms a fluid tight seal between a first volume within the vessel partially bounded by a first side of the adjustable wall, and a second volume of the vessel partially bounded by a second side of the adjustable wall. Moving the adjustable wall from a second position to a first position draws fluid through the inlet port into the first volume. Moving the adjustable wall from the first position to the second position expels fluid through the discharge port from the first volume at a pressure greater than a reactant pressure of the fuel cell.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a vessel for a fuel cell, a fuel cell system, and a method for maintaining a non-explosive atmosphere in a cavity of a vessel for a fuel cell. The vessel comprises a wall defining a cavity, and a catalyst. The cavity comprises a non-explosive atmosphere comprising predominantly hydrogen gas or predominantly oxygen gas. The cavity is configured to receive the fuel cell. The catalyst is in contact with the non-explosive atmosphere in the cavity and the catalyst is configured to convert hydrogen gas and oxygen gas into water.

摘要： Systems and methods of a battery assembly are disclosed. The battery assembly includes an extruded housing, a plurality of battery cells within the extruded housing forming a plurality of cell blocks, and a circuit coupled to the cell blocks and configured to connect one or more of the cell blocks selectively in parallel or series. A cell block within the plurality of cell blocks may be selectively isolated from each other cell block within the plurality of cell blocks using the circuit. The cell block within the plurality of cell blocks may include a series connected string of battery cells. The cell block within the plurality of cell blocks may include parallel connected battery cells.
