摘要:
A fuel cell system according to the present invention comprises fuel cell stacks for generating electrical power upon receipt of hydrogen gas and oxidized gas; an end plate to which the fuel cell stacks are fastened; hydrogen system parts (hydrogen inlet valve, regulator, hydrogen pump, gas-liquid separator, hydrogen discharge valve, hydrogen supply pipe, hydrogen discharge pipe, distribution pipes, and connection pipes) for supplying hydrogen gas to the fuel cell stacks; and a stack case for housing at least the fuel cell stacks and hydrogen system parts. The hydrogen system parts are congregated and mounted on the end plate.
摘要:
A gas/liquid separation device is connected to a discharge valve which can discharge fuel gas to the outside of a fuel cell system along with water accumulated in the gas/liquid separation device. A change in pressure at a portion upstream of the discharge valve, which occurs due to an opening operation of the discharge valve, is detected or estimated, and an integral value is obtained by integrating the amount of change in the pressure with respect to time from when the discharge valve is opened or a parameter value corresponding to the integral value is obtained. The integral value represents an amount of fuel gas discharged due to the opening operation of the discharge valve. It is therefore possible to reliably discharge a desired amount of fuel gas by deciding a closing time at which the discharge valve is closed based on the integral value or the parameter value corresponding to the integral value.

摘要:
In a fuel cell equipped vehicle (10), hydrogen cylinders (18) storing hydrogen gas to be supplied to a fuel cell battery (30), a fuel cell (30), fuel cell accessories (31), a storage battery (40), and a PCU (50) that controls the supply of electric power from the fuel cell (30) and the storage battery (40) to a front wheels-driving electric motor (14) and a rear wheels-driving electric motor (16) are arranged in that order under a floor of a passenger compartment (R1). Therefore, these major component devices do not reduce the spaces of a passenger compartment (R1), a forward compartment (R2), and a rearward compartment (R3). Since the component devices disposed under the floor of the passenger compartment (R1) have relatively great weights, the center of gravity of the vehicle comes to a low position in a central portion of the vehicle, thus achieving good running stability of the vehicle.
摘要:
Consumed hydrogen-off gas is discharged from a fuel cell via a hydrogen-off gas exhaust flow passage. Consumed oxygen-off gas is discharged from the fuel cell via an oxygen-off gas exhaust flow passage. The oxygen-off gas flowing through the oxygen-off gas exhaust flow passage and the hydrogen-off gas flowing through the hydrogen-off gas exhaust flow passage are mixed and diluted in a mixing portion. The gases mixed in the mixing portion flow into a combustor via a gas-liquid separator. The combustor, which includes a platinum catalyst, causes hydrogen contained in the mixed gases to react with oxygen by combustion and further reduces the concentration of hydrogen contained in the mixed gases. The mixed gases whose concentration of hydrogen has been reduced by the combustor is discharged to the atmosphere.

摘要:
A heat exchange portion is configured by arranging a condenser for air conditioning, an EV radiator, and a FC radiator in one plane substantially perpendicular to a direction in which a fuel cell vehicle moves, at a front portion of the fuel cell vehicle, in order of an operating temperature, from an upper position to a lower position. A fan is provided behind the heat exchange portion such that a center thereof is closer to the condenser than to the FC radiator. In addition, a fan shroud is provided, in which plural ram pressure holes are formed in a portion which covers the FC radiator.
