    摘要: A system and method for drying a fuel cell stack after stack shutdown. In one embodiment, a cooling fluid is pumped through the fuel cell stack after the system is shutdown to use the heat still available in the cooling fluid immediately after shutdown to provide thermal equilibrium in the stack. In another embodiment, the heated cooling fluid still available immediately after system shutdown is sent through a cathode input gas heat exchanger so that drying air from the system compressor is heated by the cooling fluid before it enters the stack. In another embodiment, a separate heat exchanger is provided that receives the drying gas prior to it being sent into the fuel cell stack.

    摘要: A method of fueling with compressed gas is described. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a supply of compressed gas; providing a storage tank with a fueling line, and a nozzle in the fueling line, the nozzle movable between at least a flow reduction position and a full fuel flow position; initiating fueling from the supply of compressed gas with the nozzle in the flow reduction position for a predetermined time or until a minimum pressure is obtained; when the predetermined time or the minimum pressure is obtained, moving the nozzle to the full fuel flow position; and fueling the storage tank from the supply of compressed gas with the nozzle in the full fuel flow position until fueling is completed. A vehicle incorporating the nozzle is also disclosed.

    摘要: A system and method for operating a cooling fluid pump and cooling fluid heater in a vehicle when the vehicle is not being used so that the temperature of the cooling fluid does not drop to low in a cold environment. The system includes an AC connector for plugging the system into an AC power outlet. The system also includes AC/DC converter that converts the AC power to a DC signal suitable to operate the pump. The system also includes a temperature switch that closes if the ambient temperature falls below a predetermined temperature, which electrically connects the AC connector to the AC/DC converter. When the AC/DC converter is powered, a switch is closed to connect the pump to a pulse width modulation (PWM) generator to operate the pump. Further, when the temperature switch is closed, power is provided to the heater.

    摘要: A heating system for a pipe or hose in a fuel cell system that include heaters and conductors to prevent water in the pipe or hose from freezing. A heater wire is provided in contact with the pipe, and a conductor is wrapped around the heater wire and the pipe, and a protective layer is wrapped around the conductor, where the conductor provides thermal isolation. For a plastic or rubber hose, an inner conductor is wrapped around the house and an outer conductor is wrapped around the inner conductor. Heater wire is positioned between the inner conductor and the outer conductor. A protective layer is then wrapped around the outer conductor.
