Abstract: This specification describes a system and method for controlling the voltage produced by a fuel cell. The system involves providing a bypass line between an air exhaust from the fuel cell and an air inlet of the fuel cell. At least one controllable device is configured to allow the flow rate through the bypass line to be altered. A controller is provided to control the controllable device. The method involves varying the rate of recirculation of air exhaust to air inlet so as to provide a desired change in fuel cell voltage.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell has a membrane located between two flow field plates. On a first side of the membrane, there is a porous support surrounded by a seal between the membrane and the flow field plate. There is a gap between the porous support and the seal at the surface of the membrane. On a second side of the membrane, there is a seal between the membrane and the flow field plate located inside of the gap in plan view. The electrochemical cell is useful, for example, in high pressure or differential pressure electrolysis in which the second side of the membrane will be consistently exposed to a higher pressure than the first side of the membrane.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell has first and second flow fields on opposite sides of a membrane. The first flow field has a set of generally linear channels in which the flow of a fluid in the field is contained between parallel elongate ridges. The second flow field is defined by a set of parallel discontinuous ridges. Preferably most ridge segments in the second flow field are oblique, for example perpendicular, to and overlap with two or more ridges of the first flow field. The flow fields may be used in, for example, water electrolysis cells including high or differential pressure polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolysis cells.

Abstract: A bipolar plate assembly for a fuel cell includes a first bipolar sheet having elongated lands formed thereon each defining secondary channels therein. The first bipolar sheet further includes primary channels formed between adjacent elongated lands. The first bipolar sheet includes an active area at which fluids flowing through the primary and secondary channels electrochemically react with an adjacent gas diffusion layer of the fuel cell. Top surfaces of the elongated lands include injectors formed as a hole in the top surfaces and located in the active area of the first bipolar sheet. Fluid flowing through the secondary channels is forced through the injectors, subsequently into the adjacent gas diffusion layer, and subsequently into and adjacent primary channel.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for inducing a secondary flow from a first groove in a bipolar plate of a fuel cell to a second groove in the bipolar plate over a first land in the bipolar plate wherein the land is adjacent to a compressed section of a gas diffusion layer in the fuel cell, and wherein the secondary flow increases locally available oxygen and hydrogen at the membrane electrode assembly adjacent to the compressed section of the gas diffusion layer.

Abstract: A process for starting a PEM fuel cell module includes blowing air through the cathode side of the module using external power. An amount hydrogen is released into the anode side of the module under a pressure greater than the pressure of the air on the cathode side, while the anode is otherwise closed. Cell voltages in the module are monitored for the appearance of a charged state sufficient to start the module. When the charged state is observed, the module is converted to a running state.
