FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240332572 titled 'FUEL CELL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application discusses a method to detect abnormal states of sealing valves in a fuel cell system by monitoring the output voltage.
- When a fuel gas is supplied to the system after power generation, the output voltage is checked.
- If the output voltage exceeds a certain threshold, it indicates an abnormal open state of the sealing valves.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Monitoring output voltage to detect abnormal states of sealing valves.
- Preventing potential leaks or malfunctions in the fuel cell system.
- Enhancing safety and efficiency of the system.
Potential Applications:
- Fuel cell technology
- Energy production systems
- Industrial processes
Problems Solved:
- Identifying abnormal states of sealing valves in fuel cell systems.
- Preventing potential gas leaks or system malfunctions.
- Ensuring safety and efficiency of fuel cell operations.
Benefits:
- Improved safety in fuel cell systems.
- Enhanced reliability and performance.
- Cost-effective maintenance and operation.
Commercial Applications: Commercial Applications: Enhanced safety features in fuel cell systems can attract industries looking for reliable and efficient energy solutions, such as automotive, aerospace, and power generation sectors.
Questions about Fuel Cell Sealing Valve Detection: 1. How does monitoring the output voltage help in detecting abnormal states of sealing valves in a fuel cell system? 2. What are the potential implications of failing to detect abnormal states of sealing valves in a fuel cell system?
Original Abstract Submitted
in a state in which an inlet side sealing valve and an outlet side sealing valve are driven and placed in a closed state, in the case that a fuel gas is newly supplied to an anode flow path after having completed an electrical power generation process at a time of stoppage, when an output voltage of a fuel cell is detected by a voltage sensor and the detected output voltage is greater than or equal to a threshold voltage value, it is determined that the inlet side sealing valve or the outlet side sealing valve is in an abnormal state of being in an open state.
