    摘要: A method for conditioning one or more aspects of a vehicle, where a user may customize their vehicle by providing desired departure times and conditioning preferences so that the vehicle automatically wakes up, performs the requested conditioning, and is ready for operation by the requested departure time. Some examples of potential conditioning events include activating: a heated or cooled seat, a heated steering wheel, a heated engine block, a heated mirror, a cabin heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, a heating or cooling element for a battery pack, a heating or cooling element for a battery charger, and a heating or cooling element for a fuel cell, to name a few.

    摘要: A composite separator plate for use in an electrochemical fuel cell as well as a method of forming same is disclosed. The plate may be formed of polymeric material and electrically conductive material having a non-conductive polymeric outer layer by compression molding, or alternately of a metallic material having an outer metal oxide layer. Contact regions of the plate surface are subsequently ablated with a laser to remove the outer layer of material from the plate. The removal of the outer layer reduces the contact resistance of the plate when used in an electrochemical fuel cell stack, while offering adequate strength and corrosion resistance for the fuel cell stack environment.

    摘要: A WVT unit that humidifies a cathode inlet airflow to a fuel cell stack in a fuel cell system. In one embodiment, the WVT unit includes a series of membranes separated by plates defining flow channels at both sides of the membrane. The humidifying gas, typically a cathode outlet gas from the fuel cell stack, flows down the flow channels on one side of each membrane and the cathode inlet air flows down the flow channels on an opposite side of each membrane. According to the invention, the plates have a hydrophilic film so that more water vapor in the humidifying flow channels is exposed to the membrane, and therefore more water is transferred to the cathode airflow.
