DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE HYDROGEN CONCENTRATION OF AN EXHAUST GAS IN AN EXHAUST GAS LINE OF A FUEL CELL SYSTEM, AND FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18246375 titled 'DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE HYDROGEN CONCENTRATION OF AN EXHAUST GAS IN AN EXHAUST GAS LINE OF A FUEL CELL SYSTEM, AND FUEL CELL SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device for measuring the concentration of hydrogen in the exhaust gas of a fuel cell system.

  • The device includes a sensor that is placed in a tube section of the exhaust gas line.
  • The tube section has an inflow opening and an outflow opening.
  • A purge line is connected to the tube section between the inflow opening and the sensor.
  • A mixing element is used to ensure that different components of the exhaust gas are evenly distributed.


Original Abstract Submitted

The invention relates to a device () for determining the hydrogen concentration of a fluid in an exhaust gas line () of a fuel cell system (), comprising a sensor () which is arranged in a tube section (), wherein said tube section has an inflow opening () and an outflow opening (). A purge line () opens into the tube section () between the inflow opening () and the H2 sensor (). A mixing element () mixes an exhaust gas flowing through the inflow opening () such that different components of the exhaust gas are distributed homogeneously.
