    摘要: A method for performing a plausibility check of a fuel cell stack anode side pressure sensor to determine whether the pressure sensor is providing an accurate measurement. Prior to system start-up when a cathode side compressor is not providing cathode air to a fuel cell stack, and the cathode side of the stack is at ambient pressure, a pressure measurement from a differential pressure sensor between the anode side and the cathode side of the fuel cell stack is provided. The differential pressure sensor reading is added to a pressure measurement from an ambient pressure sensor, where the sum should be about the same as the pressure measurement from the anode side pressure sensor if the anode side pressure sensor is operating properly.

    摘要: A system and method for providing an anode exhaust gas bleed in a fuel cell system. The system provides a normal anode side bleed using first and second bleed valves if the first and second bleed valves are not blocked and the temperature of first and second split sub-stacks is greater than a predetermined temperature, provides a continuous anode side bleed using the bleed valves if the bleed valves are not blocked and the temperature of the sub-stacks is less than the predetermined temperature, provides a normal center anode bleed through the drain valve if the first or second bleed valve is blocked and the temperature of the sub-stacks is above the predetermined temperature and provides a continuous center anode side bleed through the drain valve if the first or second bleed valve is blocked and the temperature of the sub-stacks is below the predetermined temperature.

    摘要: A fuel cell system that selectively causes cathode input air to by-pass a water vapor transfer (WVT) device during high to low power transients. During normal stack operation, the cathode input air is sent through the WVT device to humidify the cathode input air for proper membrane humidification. For low power stack operation, where the cathode input airflow is reduced, which reduces the ability of the airflow to drive water out of the cathode flow channels, a by-pass valve is switched so the cathode inlet air by-passes the WVT device to reduce the cathode inlet humidification. In one embodiment, heaters at the ends of the stack are turned on during the low power condition to further reduce the accumulation of water in the end channels of the stack.

    摘要: A venting methodology and system for rapid shutdown of a fuel cell apparatus of the type used in a vehicle propulsion system. H2 and air flows to the fuel cell stack are slowly bypassed to the combustor upon receipt of a rapid shutdown command. The bypass occurs over a period of time (for example one to five seconds) using conveniently-sized bypass valves. Upon receipt of the rapid shutdown command, the anode inlet of the fuel cell stack is instantaneously vented to a remote vent to remove all H2 from the stack. Airflow to the cathode inlet of the fuel cell stack gradually diminishes over the bypass period, and when the airflow bypass is complete the cathode inlet is also instantaneously vented to a remote vent to eliminate pressure differentials across the stack.
