FUEL CELL CLOSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17766271 titled 'FUEL CELL CLOSING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The invention is a fuel cell closing valve with a valve closing body that can be electromagnetically moved to open or close at least one medium passage of a fuel cell.
- The fuel cell closing valve includes two permanent magnets to hold the valve closing body in either the open or closed position when the electrical coil is not energized.
- The valve closing body is moved from a first position to a second position by energizing the electrical coil.
- The purpose of the invention is to optimize the operation of the fuel cell system by efficiently controlling the flow of medium within the fuel cell.
Potential Applications
- Fuel cell systems in automotive vehicles
- Fuel cell power generation systems
- Fuel cell backup power systems
Problems Solved
- Efficient control of medium flow within fuel cells
- Optimization of fuel cell system operation
- Reliable opening and closing of medium passages
Benefits
- Improved efficiency of fuel cell systems
- Enhanced performance of fuel cell power generation
- Increased reliability in fuel cell operation
Original Abstract Submitted
The invention relates to a fuel cell closing valve () having a valve closing body (), which is electromagnetically movable from a first position to a second position by the energizing of an electrical coil () in order to close or open at least one medium passage of a fuel cell. In order to optimize the operation of the fuel cell system, the fuel cell closing valve () comprises two permanent magnets (), by means of which the valve closing body () can be held both in the first position and in the second position when the electrical coil () is in a currentless state.
