    Abstract: The invention relates to a waste heat recovery system (3) for an internal combustion engine (1), having a working fluid circuit (19) with a condenser (31) that is also connected to a working fluid cooling circuit (34), and wherein the working fluid cooling circuit (34) has a cooler (35). The invention provides a waste heat recovery system (3) having a working fluid cooling circuit (34) which is improved in comparison to one design of a working fluid cooling circuit (34). This is achieved by the working fluid cooling circuit (34) having a cooler bypass (46). This configuration makes it generally possible for part of the coolant volume flow to be routed past the cooler (35). This is advantageous in particular at low temperatures since otherwise very low pressures arise in the working fluid cooling circuit (34).

The working circuit (2) is equipped with a feed pump (6), an evaporator (10), an expansion machine (3) and a condenser (4) in the direction of flow of the working fluid. Additionally, the evaporator (10) is also arranged in an exhaust tract (53) of the internal combustion engine (50). The exhaust tract (53) is equipped with an exhaust bypass channel (61) parallel to the evaporator (10), and the exhaust tract (53) is equipped with an exhaust bypass valve (60), by means of which the distribution of the mass flow rate of the exhaust of the internal combustion engine (50) to the evaporator (10) and to the exhaust bypass channel (61) can be controlled. The waste-heat utilization assembly (1) further comprises a cooling device (20, 40, 30) which conducts a coolant, and the condenser (4) is arranged in the cooling device (20, 40, 30). Furthermore, at least one temperature sensor (37, 38, 41, 42, 43, 44) is arranged in the cooling device (20, 40, 30).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell system comprising:



    a fuel cell arrangement having at least one fuel cell and an air inlet,
    a feed line connected to the air inlet, a central air filter device which is connected to an inlet of the feed line either directly or via a distributor block, and
    a compressor which is located in the feed line and which is designed to suck in ambient air through the central air filter device and to convey said air through the feed line to the air inlet of the fuel cell arrangement. The invention also relates to a decentralized air filter system, which is designed to filter, downstream of the central filter device, air conveyed from the compressor to the air inlet. The decentralized air filter system comprises at least one decentralized air filter device which is located in the feed line between the compressor and the air inlet of the fuel cell arrangement, in the distributor block, or in the central air filter device.

    Abstract: A method for operating a fuel cell system comprises: feeding an oxidation gas stream to a cathode inlet of a cathode of a fuel cell of the fuel cell system; feeding a cathode exhaust gas stream from a cathode outlet of the cathode to an exhaust gas inlet of the humidifier; discharging the cathode exhaust gas stream from the humidifier via an exhaust gas outlet of the humidifier; humidifying the oxidation gas stream in the humidifier by means of the water extracted from the cathode exhaust gas stream; determining at least one of the following indicators for the moisture content of the cathode exhaust gas: a pressure drop between the cathode inlet and the cathode outlet, a pressure drop between the exhaust gas inlet and the exhaust gas outlet of the humidifier, a first temperature difference of the cathode exhaust gas stream between the exhaust gas inlet and the exhaust gas outlet of the humidifier, a second temperature difference of the oxidation gas stream between the oxidation gas inlet and the oxidation gas outlet of the humidifier, and varying a moisture feed to the cathode inlet and/or moisture removal from the cathode by adjusting at least one operating parameter of the fuel cell system on the basis of the at least one determined indicator.
