摘要： An exhaust assembly for a fuel cell system, comprising a plenum having an inlet configured to receive a gas flow from the fuel cell system and an outlet configured to vent said gas flow to atmosphere, the plenum including a louvre assembly for controlling the flow through the plenum between the inlet and outlet, wherein the plenum includes a purge gas inlet downstream of the louvre assembly configured to introduce a purge gas of the fuel cell system into the gas flow for dilution thereof, the louvre assembly configured to induce, in use, a lower pressure region proximal the purge gas inlet relative to a region distal the purge gas inlet within the plenum.

摘要： A control valve for controlling the exhausting of a purge gas from a fuel cell assembly, comprising a valve body having a valve member therein moveable between a first position and a second position, an inlet port for receiving a purge gas from the fuel cell assembly and an outlet port for providing an outlet for the purge gas, the valve member configured to, in the first position, prevent purge gas from flowing between the inlet port and the outlet port and, in the second position, allow the flow of purge gas between the inlet port and the outlet port, the valve body including a drain port adapted and arranged in the valve body to allow liquid to drain out of the valve body, the drain port configured to close when the valve member is in the second position.
