FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18426922 titled 'FUEL CELL SYSTEM
The abstract describes a patent application for an injector in a fuel cell system that operates based on the output amount of the fuel cell.
- The injector operates when the output amount of the fuel cell is in a first output region.
- A linear solenoid valve operates when the output amount of the fuel cell is in a second output region.
- When the output amount of the fuel cell is in a third output region included in the second output region, the linear solenoid valve opens to introduce fuel gas and fuel off-gas necessary to secure a hydrogen amount threshold for the fuel cell operation.
- This system ensures the smallest hydrogen amount required for the fuel cell operation is maintained.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for fuel cell vehicles - Power generation for remote locations - Aerospace industry for aircraft propulsion systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient control of fuel flow in fuel cell systems - Ensuring optimal hydrogen levels for fuel cell operation
Benefits: - Improved fuel cell efficiency - Enhanced performance and reliability - Reduced emissions and environmental impact
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Fuel Cell Injector System for Enhanced Performance" This technology can be utilized in automotive, power generation, and aerospace industries to improve fuel cell system efficiency and reliability.
Questions about Fuel Cell Injector System: 1. How does the injector system optimize fuel flow in the fuel cell? - The injector system operates based on the output amount of the fuel cell to ensure optimal hydrogen levels for efficient operation. 2. What are the potential applications of this advanced fuel cell injector system? - The technology can be applied in automotive, power generation, and aerospace industries for improved performance and reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
An injector of a fuel cell system operates when the output amount of a fuel cell is in a first output region, and a linear solenoid valve operates when the output amount of the fuel cell is in a second output region. When the output amount of the fuel cell is in a third output region that is included in the second output region, the linear solenoid valve opens at such a degree that fuel gas and fuel off-gas necessary to secure a hydrogen amount threshold that is a smallest hydrogen amount necessary for operation of the fuel cell are capable of being introduced from an ejector into the fuel cell.
