Abstract: A system and method for a cathode subsystem in a fuel cell system. The system includes a fuel cell stack, a cathode inlet line that provides cathode air to a fuel cell stack and a cathode exhaust line that exhausts a cathode exhaust gas out of the fuel cell stack. Also included is a backpressure valve in the cathode exhaust line that is located downstream of a drip rail of the cathode exhaust line, where the drip rail includes a protrusion that prevents condensed water from building up near the backpressure valve. The drip rail further includes a sump that collects drips of condensed water from the protrusion of the drip rail. The system also includes a drain below a water vapor transfer unit that includes an orifice that is in a portion of the drain that is within the cathode exhaust line.

Abstract: A system and method for selectively determining whether a freeze purge should be performed at shut-down of a fuel cell stack. The method includes identifying that the vehicle has been keyed off and then determining whether a stack membrane humidification value is less than a predetermined humidification value that identifies the humidification of membranes in fuel cells in the fuel cell stack. If the stack membrane humidification value is not less than the predetermined humidification value, then the method determines if the ambient temperature is below a predetermined ambient temperature, and if so, performs the freeze purge. If the ambient temperature is not below the predetermined ambient temperature, then the method performs a short non-freeze purge of the flow channels in the fuel cell stack. The method determines a wake-up time for a controller for a next time to determine whether a freeze purge should be performed.
