INJECTION MODULE FOR A CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY OF A FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18576177 titled 'INJECTION MODULE FOR A CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY OF A FUEL CELL SYSTEM

The invention is an injection module for a conveyor assembly of a fuel cell system that conveys and/or recirculates a gaseous medium, such as hydrogen.

  • The injection module includes a communicating opening and/or an inlet opening for the gaseous medium to flow in.
  • It consists of a small nozzle body with a first drive nozzle and a large nozzle body with a second drive nozzle for the gaseous medium to flow out.
  • The small nozzle body can move within the large nozzle body and/or the injection module.
  • Both the small and large nozzle bodies have gas flow paths.
  • The gaseous medium can flow through only the first gas flow path or both the first and second gas flow paths simultaneously.
  • The second gas flow path can be opened or closed by the movement of the small nozzle body.

Potential Applications: - Fuel cell systems - Hydrogen storage and transportation systems - Industrial gas handling equipment

Problems Solved: - Efficient conveyance and recirculation of gaseous mediums - Control of gas flow paths in a conveyor assembly

Benefits: - Improved efficiency in fuel cell systems - Enhanced control over gas flow - Increased safety in handling gaseous mediums

Commercial Applications: "Injection Module for Fuel Cell Systems: Enhancing Efficiency and Safety in Gas Handling"

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the movement of the small nozzle body affect the flow of the gaseous medium? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using this injection module in fuel cell systems?


Original Abstract Submitted

The invention relates to an injection module () for a conveyor assembly () of a fuel cell system () for conveying and/or recirculating a gaseous medium, in particular hydrogen, in which: the injection module () has a communicating opening () and/or an inlet opening (), by means of which the gaseous medium flows into the injection module (); the injection module () has a small nozzle body () having a first drive nozzle () and a large nozzle body () having a second drive nozzle (), by means of which () the gaseous medium flows out of the injection module (); the small nozzle body () is disposed movably in the direction of a longitudinal axis () in the large nozzle body () and/or in the injection module (); the small nozzle body () and the large nozzle body () each have a gas flow path (III, IV); the gaseous medium can flow either only through the first gas flow path III or through the first gas flow path III and the second gas flow path IV simultaneously; the second gas flow path IV can be opened or closed by means of a movement of the small nozzle body (). According to the invention, the small nozzle body () abuts a stop disc () and/or at least indirectly abuts the large nozzle body (), and thus forms an opening pressure surface (); the opening pressure surface () and a closing pressure surface (), in particular located at the outflow end of the small nozzle body, are at least almost the same size; the opening pressure surface () can be subjected to a dynamic pressure () at the inflow end.
