摘要:
A fuel cell system has a fuel cell, a fuel supply device, a gas discharge valve, a voltage detecting device and a control device. The fuel supply device supplies a fuel gas to the fuel cell. The gas discharge valve discharges the fuel gas into an external environment. The voltage detecting device detects an output voltage of the fuel cell. The control device controls a discharging process when a request for starting the fuel cell is given. The discharging process includes introducing the fuel gas from the fuel supply device into a predetermined passage, opening the gas discharge valve and discharging residuals staying in the passage into the external environment. When the control device receives the request and determines that the output voltage has reached a first threshold before the discharging process has not been completed, the control device starts power generation irrespective of completion of the discharging process.

摘要:
A synchronous machine starting device includes a power conversion unit for converting supplied power into AC power and supplying the AC power to an armature of a synchronous machine, an AC voltage detection unit for detecting AC voltage supplied to the armature of the synchronous machine, a rotor position detection unit for detecting a rotor position of the synchronous machine, based on the detected AC voltage, and a power conversion control unit for controlling the power conversion portion, based on the detected rotor position. The rotor position detection portion includes a level monitoring unit outputting a first position signal indicating a timing at which a level of AC voltage supplied to the armature of the synchronous machine reaches a prescribed value, based on the detected AC voltage, a feedback operation unit for calculating an error of an estimated phase based on the estimated phase indicating the rotor position and the detected AC voltage, calculating the estimated phase based on the calculated phase error, and outputting a second position signal indicating the calculated estimated phase, and a selector circuit receiving the first position signal or a position signal obtained based on the first position signal, and the second position signal, selecting one of the received two position signals, and outputting the selected signal to the power conversion control unit as a signal indicating the rotor position of the synchronous machine.

A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack, a gas liquid separator, a first drain channel, and a second drain channel. The gas liquid separator is connected to a fuel gas discharge passage of the fuel cell stack through a fuel gas discharge channel. The first drain channel is connected to the fuel gas discharge passage separately from the fuel gas discharge channel, and connected to the gas liquid separator through a valve unit. The second drain channel chiefly discharges liquid droplets from the gas liquid separator.
摘要:
A compound (II) is reacted with a compound (III) or a reactive derivative at the carboxyl group thereof to obtain a compound (IV), which is reacted with a mixed acid anhydride of a compound (V) to prepare a compound (I). In recrystallization of the compound (I), temperature for the recrystallization and/or time for the crystal precipitation is controlled to selectively produce A-form crystals, B-form crystals and C-form crystals of the compound (I).
摘要:
A fuel cell is formed by stacking a membrane electrode assembly and separators alternately. Each of the separators includes first and second metal plates. A coolant flow field is formed between the first metal plate of the fuel cell and the second metal plate of the adjacent fuel cell. A folded section is provided around a coolant supply passage by folding the second metal plate. The folded section forms an inlet which enlarges the sectional area of an opening as a fluid passage between the coolant supply passage and the coolant flow field.

A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell. A current density measuring apparatus is provided on a cathode side of the fuel cell. The current density measuring apparatus includes a plurality of Hall elements provided at positions corresponding to measuring positions in an electrode surface. Each of the Hall element is attached to a ferrite core fitted to a pole of a sensor mounting plate. The ferrite core and the Hall element attached to the pole make up a current sensor.

Each of cooling medium flow passages provided for a first separator includes single main flow passage grooves communicating with a cooling medium inlet and a cooling medium outlet respectively, and branched flow passage grooves formed and branched between the main flow passage grooves. Accordingly, it is possible to greatly decrease the flow passage length. Therefore, it is possible to effectively avoid the occurrence of flow passage pressure loss in the superficial direction of the first separator, and it is possible to improve the system efficiency of the power generation.

Disclosed is a fuel cell stack comprising a fuel cell unit and separators which are stacked with each other. The separator is provided with a cooling medium supply port corresponding to a central portion of an electrode power-generating section and a cooling medium discharge port corresponding to an outer circumferential portion of the electrode power-generating section. The cooling medium supply port communicates with the cooling medium discharge port via a cooling medium flow passage having a spiral configuration. Accordingly, the entire fuel cell unit can be uniformly cooled, and the power-generating function can be effectively improved.

First gas flow passage grooves communicating with a fuel gas inlet and second gas flow passage grooves communicating with a fuel gas outlet are provided on a surface of a first separator. First and second united sections are provided at merged portions of the first gas flow passage grooves and the second gas flow passage grooves. Accordingly, the number of gas flow passage grooves is throttled from the side of the fuel gas inlet to the side of the fuel gas outlet. The turbulence is allowed to occur at the throttled portion to make it possible to improve the gas diffusion performance.
