Anodic Purging Method and System for Fuel Cell of Vehicle, and Fuel Cell

Abstract: an anodic purging method for a fuel cell, in particular a hydrogen fuel cell of a vehicle, is disclosed. anodic purging is performed with a preset anodic purging duration during first start of the fuel cell, and the anodic purging method includes (i) detecting a power-on state of the vehicle, (ii) detecting a shutdown duration of the fuel cell after the start in the power-on state of the vehicle, and (iii) adapting an anodic purging duration of the fuel cell during restart in case of taking the shutdown duration into account. also disclosed is a respective anodic purging system, a fuel cell, and a computer program product. the method and system is capable of adapting to the anodic purging duration of the fuel cell during restart based on the downtime duration after temporary shutdown of the fuel cell, thereby being capable of saving purging hydrogen, and being capable of responding quickly to driver's requirements for start of the vehicle and improving user experience.
