    摘要: In the power supply control system, an electrically heated catalytic converter (EHC) is connected to an alternator output terminal via a switch SW1, and a battery is connected to the alternator via a switch SW2 in parallel with the EHC. A control unit (ECU) for controlling the operation of the switches SW1 and SW2 is provided. When the engine has started, the ECU turns on the SW1 and turns off the SW2 to supply electric power to the EHC directly from the alternator. After the EHC is heated to the activating temperature and starts its catalytic action, the ECU turns on both the switches SW1 and SW2 to supply electric power to the EHC from the battery to maintain the temperature of the EHC. Since the electric power for raising the temperature of the EHC is supplied in the condition where the battery is disconnected from the alternator, the output voltage can be increased to a value higher than a normal output voltage for charging the battery. Therefore, a relatively large electric power can be supplied to the EHC without imposing an excessive load on the battery.

    摘要: Water contained in exhaust gas discharged from a fuel cell stack 22 is separated by a gas-liquid separator 48 and is accumulated in a recovery tank 54. The procedure of the invention sets a release amount of water and selects one or multiple positions for water release, based on the driving conditions including the vehicle speed and the acceleration, the turning state, activation or non-activation of skid reduction control, the distance from any object detected by clearance sonars 94a through 94d, a distance from a subsequent vehicle measured by an extremely high frequency radar 92, and the presence of raindrops detected by a raindrop detection sensor, and releases the water accumulated in the recovery tank 54 from water outlets at the selected one or multiple positions among water outlets 58a through 58f at multiple different locations. This arrangement ensures adequate release of the water produced by the fuel cell stack 22 to the atmosphere.

    摘要: An electrically heated catalytic converter (EHC) and a battery are connected to an alternator via a changeover switch. The changeover switch connects either of the EHC and the battery to the alternator. The slip-detecting device detects the rotational speed of the alternator from the frequency of the ripple in the output voltage of the alternator when the EHC is connected to the alternator, i.e., when the battery is isolated from the alternator. When the battery is isolated from the alternator, the output voltage of the alternator is raised, and the amplitude of the ripple becomes large accordingly. Further, since the battery is isolated, the ripples in the output voltage are not smoothed by the battery. Therefore, the rotational speed of the alternator is accurately detected. The slip-detecting device detects the slip of the driving belt of the generator based on the rotational speeds of the driver and the alternator.

    摘要: A battery and an electrically heated catalytic converter (EHC) are connected to an alternator in a parallel arrangement via a changeover switch. The changeover switch operates between a first position where it connects the battery to the alternator and a second position where it connects the EHC to the alternator. An electronic control unit (ECU) is provided for controlling the changeover switch and the alternator. When the changeover switch is to be switched between the first and the second position, the ECU first terminates the power generation of the alternator before it actually switches the changeover switch in order to reduce the electric current flowing through the switch. In the switching operation of the changeover switch from the first position to the second position, the ECU determines that sticking of the changeover switch at the first position occurs if the output voltage of the alternator does not become lower than a predetermined value when a predetermined time has lapsed after the switching operation started.
