    Abstract: A fuel cell stack, a method of operating a fuel cell stack and a fuel cell system. In one particular form, shutting down the stack upon detection of a leakage of fuel either within the stack or from the stack involves depressurizing and uniform consumption of hydrogen by catalytic consumption in the cathode of all cells. Upon consumption of oxygen in the cathode portion of the stack by chemical reaction, the remaining unreacted nitrogen from the air acts as an inerting fluid. After an indication of reaction cessation is established, at least some of the inerting fluid is conveyed from the cathode portion to the anode portion. One or more of a bleed valve, backpressure valve and bypass valve are manipulated to promote the anode portion depressurization, cathode portion inerting and subsequent conveyance of the inerting fluid to the stack anode portion.

    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.
