    摘要: A coolant system includes a heat exchange circuit capable of being in a heat exchange relationship with a heat generating component, such as an engine, to remove thermal energy from the engine and transfer the thermal energy to a coolant, and an insulated tank in fluid communication with the heat exchange circuit. The system also includes a control and associated conduits and valves for passing coolant through the heat exchange circuit and the insulated tank so as to fill the tank with a first volume of coolant in a first operational state, for passing an additional amount of coolant from the heat exchange circuit into the insulated tank so as to fill the insulated tank with a second volume of coolant which is greater than the first volume of coolant in a second operational state, and for passing the additional amount of coolant from the insulated tank to the heat exchange circuit in a third operational state. A method of operating the coolant system to store thermal energy is also provided.

    摘要: A fuel humidifier/pre-heater system (10) is provided for pre-heating and humidifying a fuel flow, and is particularly useful for pre-heating and humidifying a fuel flow for a fuel cell, particularly molten-carbonate fuel cells (60). The system includes a steam generator (12), a water bypass (18), a liquid/steam mixer (20), and a mixture heater (14). The humidified fuel outlet temperature of the system is controlled by bypassing a portion of the water flow around the steam generator (12) so as to control the amount of superheat. The steam is then mixed with the fuel, and then the fuel/steam mixture is heated in the mixture heater (14). Additionally, a fuel bypass (16) can be provided for further temperature control by bypassing a portion of the fuel around the mixture heater (14) and then mixing the bypassed fuel with the steam/fuel mixture that has passed through the mixture heater (14).

    摘要: Distribution of liquid refrigerant in an evaporator having a pair of spaced headers (20), (22) and a plurality of tubes (24) extending between the headers (20), (22) to define a plurality of spaced refrigerant passages (42) is achieved through the use of at least one refrigerant inlet (30), (32), (34), (36) within one of the headers (20). The inlet has a first port (49) adapted to be connected to a source of refrigerant to be evaporated, and oppositely directed second and third ports (50), (52) connected to the first port (49). The second port (50) is directed away from one side (44) of the header (20) while the third port (54) is directed toward the side (44) of the header (20).

    摘要: A fuel cell thermal management system (10) is provided for maintaining a fuel cell stack (12) within a desired operating temperature range. The system (10) includes a thermal storage reservoir (14), a radiator (16), and a mixing valve (18). Heat from the fuel cell stack (12) is rejected to the thermal storage reservoir (14), and heat from the reservoir (14) is rejected to ambient in the radiator (16). The mixing valve (18) receives a coolant flow from the fuel cell stack (12) at a first temperature T1 and a coolant flow from the radiator (16) or the reservoir (14) at a second temperature T2 and mixes the two coolant flow together to provide a mixed coolant flow to the stack (12) at a third temperature T3 to maintain the stack (12) within its desired operating temperature range.
