摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel cell system in which a noise and a vibration of a compressor can be suppressed. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a fuel cell system including a fuel cell; a compressor for supplying an oxidant gas to the fuel cell, having a first rotational speed region within which as a rotational speed increases, a noise becomes greater than a predetermined value, and a second rotational speed region within which as the rotational speed increases, the noise becomes equal to or less than the predetermined value; and a compressor controller for controlling the compressor by calculating a command rotational speed for commanding the compressor based on a required amount of power generation.

A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell having a fuel gas flow path and an oxidant gas flow path; a compressor for supplying humidified air to the oxidant gas flow path; a back-pressure regulating valve for controlling pressure of humidified air in the oxidant gas flow path; a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of the humidified air in the oxidant gas flow path; and a control section for controlling the compressor and the back-pressure regulating valve. In this system, the pressure of humidified air in the oxidant gas flow path is regulated to become equal or approximate to a target pressure by the back-pressure regulating valve. When the pressure difference between the pressure measured by the pressure sensor and the target pressure is larger than a predetermined pressure difference, the control section corrects operating conditions of the compressor, so that the measured pressure becomes the target pressure.

There is provided a fuel cell for generating a electric power by a reaction of a reaction gas, a reaction gas flow path through which the reaction gas passes, purge section for purging the reaction gas flow path with a purging gas, a purge judging section for judging as to whether or not a purging operation by the purge section is required, and a failure detecting section for detecting a failure of a judgment support device. When the failure of the judgment support device is detected by the failure detecting section, there action gas flow path is purged by the purge section when stopping the power generation of the fuel cell.

A fuel cell system includes a control device for setting an oxygen-containing gas operating pressure target value on the cathode side using a relative pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, setting a fuel gas operating pressure target value on the anode side using an absolute pressure, and controlling a power generation current of the fuel cell using as command values the relative pressure and the absolute pressure. The control device controls operation of the entire fuel cell system.
摘要:
A start-up method for a fuel cell system that includes a fuel cell that carries out power generation by the electrochemical reaction between a fuel gas and the oxygen gas in the air; a fuel gas discharge path and a fuel gas supply path that are connected to the fuel cell; a fuel gas circulation path in which the fuel gas discharge path merges with the fuel gas supply path; and a purge valve provided on the fuel gas circulation path in order to discharge the circulating fuel gas from the fuel gas circulation path. The method includes the steps of opening the purge valve at the same time that the fuel gas is supplied to the fuel cell and replacing the nitrogen gas that originates in the air and is present in the fuel gas circulation path by fuel gas; and closing the purge valve after the nitrogen gas in the fuel gas circulation path has been replaced by the fuel gas.

A fuel cell system includes: a fuel cell which generates electrical power from a chemical reaction of a reaction gas; a discharge path for discharging the reaction gas supplied to the fuel cell; a discharge valve which is provided in the discharge path and discharges the reaction gas from the discharge path; and valve control units for controlling opening of the discharge valve, wherein the valve control units are adapted such that, since the discharge valve has been opened by a valve open command issued by one of the valve control units, the valve control units prohibit the discharge valve from being opened by a valve open command issued by any of the other valve control units until a predetermined time period elapses.

A fuel cell system includes an idle stop unit, a discharger, a power-generation-state memory, and an initial-current-value setter. The idle stop unit is configured to stop a supply of the reactant gas to a fuel cell. The discharger is configured to allow the fuel cell to generate the electric power with the reactant gas remaining in the fuel cell after the idle stop unit stops the supply of the reactant gas and is configured to discharge electric current to a current receiver. The power-generation-state memory is configured to store a power-generation state of the fuel cell immediately before the idle stop unit stops the supply of the reactant gas. The initial-current-value setter is configured to set an initial current value of the fuel cell discharged by the discharger on a basis of the power-generation state of the fuel cell stored in the power-generation-state memory.
