==ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18530493 titled 'ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEM

The abstract describes an electrochemical system that includes a first stack, a first tank for storing high-pressure gas output, a check valve, pressure sensors, and a control unit. The control unit detects damage to an electrolyte membrane based on pressure differences.

* The system includes a first stack for generating high-pressure gas.
* A first tank stores the high-pressure gas output from the first stack.
* A check valve is placed in the flow path between the first stack and the first tank.
* Pressure sensors are connected to the upstream and downstream of the check valve.
* The control unit identifies damage to the electrolyte membrane when pressure differences exceed a set limit.

Potential Applications:

==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electrochemical system includes a first stack, a first tank for storing high-pressure gas output from the first stack, a check valve disposed in a flow path connecting the first stack and the first tank, a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor connected respectively to the upstream and the downstream of the check valve, and a control unit. The control unit determines that an electrolyte membrane has been damaged when the pressure difference between the upstream and the downstream of the check valve exceeds a predetermined pressure.
