摘要： A fuel cell system having a fuel cell operated under non-humidified conditions that includes a polymer electrolyte membrane sandwiched between an anode and a cathode, a fuel gas channel facing the anode to supply it with fuel gas, an oxidant gas channel facing the cathode to supply it with oxidant gas, and a flow direction of the fuel gas and the oxidant gas are opposite. The fuel cell system may control a water vapor amount at an outlet of the fuel gas channel based on a value that is set based on a relationship between a voltage of the fuel cell and the water vapor amount. The fuel cell system may control an average flow rate of the fuel gas in the fuel gas channel based on a value that is set based on a relationship between a voltage of the fuel cell and the average flow rate.

摘要： An objection is to provide a technology by which a decline in the starting performance of a fuel cell system may be controlled in a low-temperature environment. A control method of a fuel cell system includes a temperature acquisition step of acquiring a temperature of the fuel cell at start-up of the fuel cell; and an exhaust gas control step of restricting, when the temperature of the fuel cell is below a predetermined value, a flow rate of an exhaust gas flowing into a flow path configuring portion that configures at least a part of a flow path of the exhaust gas of the fuel cell as compared to the flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing into the flow path configuring portion when the temperature of the fuel cell is equal to or less than the predetermined value.

摘要： A hydrogen concentration sensor for measuring the hydrogen concentration in an anode sub-system of a fuel cell system. The hydrogen concentration sensor includes a membrane, a first catalyst layer on one side of the membrane and a second catalyst layer on an opposite side of the membrane where the sensor operates as a concentration cell. The first catalyst layer is exposed to fresh hydrogen for the anode side of a fuel cell stack and the second catalyst layer is exposed to an anode recirculation gas from an anode exhaust of the fuel cell stack. The voltage generated by the sensor allows the hydrogen partial pressure in the recirculation gas to be determined, from which the hydrogen concentration can be determined.

摘要： A moisture sensor working to measure a moisture content of a specified measurement gas is provided which consists of an electrochemical cell having a first electrode exposed to the measurement gas and a second electrode exposed to a reference gas and a controller. The electrochemical cell outputs an electrical energy arising from chemical reaction of the measurement gas with the reference gas. The controller controls at least one of voltage appearing across and current flowing through the electrochemical cell and uses one of them to measure the moisture content of the measurement gas. This enables the moisture content to be determined free from the humidify of the measurement gas.

摘要： Proposed are a fuel cell system and a method of controlling the fuel cell system. The fuel cell system may comprise a discharge valve configured to adjust a flow rate between an inlet and an outlet, connected at the inlet to a water trap connected to an anode of a fuel cell stack, and connected at the outlet to an external exhaust line, and a controller configured to derive an error value on the basis of a difference between condensate water production amount and discharge amount of the anode of the fuel cell stack when the discharge valve is in an open state, configured to correct the condensate water production amount of the anode on the basis of the error value when the discharge valve is in a closed state, and configured to open the discharge valve when the corrected condensate water production amount exceeds a predetermined first reference value.

摘要： Methods and systems are described for optimizing water discharge in fuel cell vehicles. The system includes a fuel cell stack, a blower for purging water from the fuel cell stack and a controller. The controller detects that an ambient temperature satisfies a threshold temperature. The controller determines the fuel cell vehicle is approaching a stopping location. The controller calculates a water discharge time prediction necessary to purge excess water from the fuel cell stack while the fuel cell vehicle is operating in response to detecting that the ambient temperature satisfies the threshold temperature and the fuel cell vehicle is approaching the stopping location. The water discharge time prediction is calculated based on the blower operating while the fuel cell stack is in at least one of an idle state and a stopped state as the fuel cell vehicle approaches the stopping location.
