FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240258537 titled 'FUEL CELL SYSTEM
The abstract describes a fuel cell system designed to enhance the rate of discharging fuel gas. The system includes a fuel cell, oxidant gas supply pipe, fuel gas supply pipe, connection pipe, voltage sensor, and control unit. The connection pipe links the oxidant gas supply pipe and fuel gas supply pipe, with a connection valve in place. The voltage sensor measures the fuel cell's voltage, while the control unit manages the opening and closing of the connection valve. Additionally, the control unit stores first and second threshold values for the fuel cell's voltage.
