摘要:
An apparatus for rapidly filling a hydrogen tank with a hydrogen gas comprises a hydrogen source; a hydrogen tank; a passage which connects the hydrogen source and said hydrogen tank; and a mechanism for varying the hydrogen-filling rate. The mechanism for varying the hydrogen-filling rate changes the hydrogen-filling rate depending upon the pressure within said hydrogen tank. The apparatus can suppress heat generation at the initial filling stage where the temperature is easily increased. Also, even if it takes longer time for increasing the pressure within the hydrogen tank at the initial filling state, the delayed time can be caught up and, the apparatus and the process of the present invention can totally attain a rapidly filling with hydrogen.

A gas pressure-reducing valve in which a valve member to be seated on a valve seat having a valve hole opened at its central portion and leading to a pressure-reducing chamber between a body and a diaphragm is fixed on a valve stem connected to the central portion of the diaphragm and arranged coaxially with the valve axis. A bottomed mounting bore which is aligned with the valve axis and opened toward the pressure-reducing chamber is formed in the body. A cylindrical valve seat member forming a valve chamber between itself and the closed end of the mounting bore for accommodating the valve member and inserted into the mounting bore is fixed on the body. A valve seat facing the valve chamber is formed on the inner surface of the end portion of the valve seat member on the side of the pressure-reducing chamber. This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the number of parts and to enhance the degree of freedom for the arrangement of the parts in the body.

Disclosed is a fuel cell system which includes a fuel cell, a high-pressure tank for containing a fuel, a supply device for delivering the fuel of the high-pressure tank to the fuel cell, a fuel consumption control mechanism for controlling an amount of the fuel consumed in the fuel cell, and a fuel temperature sensing device for sensing a temperature of the fuel discharged from the high-pressure tank. In this system, the amount of the consumed fuel is controlled based on the temperature sensed by the fuel temperature sensing device.

A fuel cell stack includes a stack body formed by stacking a plurality of power generation units. A first end power generation unit and first dummy units are provided near an end plate where reactant gas pipes for the stack body are provided. A second end power generation unit and second dummy units are provided near an end plate of the stack body on the opposite side. The number of first dummy units is larger than the number of second dummy units.

A fuel reforming apparatus is provided for generating a hydrogen-rich gas. The fuel reforming apparatus includes an evaporator comprising an evaporation chamber for evaporating the fuel vapor by evaporating a hydrocarbon fuel-water mixture by an evaporator using a combustion gas formed in a combustor; a heating chamber for heating the fuel vapor by a combustion gas output from the evaporation chamber; and a guiding path for guiding the combustion gas output from the evaporation chamber to the heating chamber along the floor of the evaporating room. In the heating chamber, the fuel vapor generated in the evaporation chamber is uniformly heated in an atmosphere with a homogeneous temperature of the combustion gas output from a heating medium tube, while the fuel vapor is circulating in the vapor tube.

A release outlet (52) of a release pipe (51) of a relief valve (50) is provided in the vicinity of an exhaust outlet (170) of a fuel cell box (39) in a space between a sub-frame (22) and the fuel cell box (39). A ventilating inlet (130) is formed on a front wall (120) of the fuel cell box (39). A fan (180) can send outside air into the fuel cell box (39). A ventilation flow of the outside air which is sent into the fuel cell box (39) passes through and ventilates the fuel cell box (39) so as to cool a fuel cell stack (38). Exhaust air is exhausted rearward from the exhaust outlet (170) of an exhaust duct (160). The release pipe (51) and the release outlet (52) are heated by the exhaust air. Therefore, heating the release pipe (51) and the release outlet (52) can prevent the release outlet (52) from being blocked by snow or ice.
