  • Patent number: 10569228
    Abstract: An inspection apparatus of an electrolyte membrane is provided. The apparatus includes a lower supporter having a gas line through which gas flows or a concave portion that stores the gas. An upper supporter is disposed at an upper side of the lower supporter, and includes an opening. A membrane-electrode assembly is disposed between the lower supporter and the upper supporter. An upper cover covers an upper portion of the opening, and is formed with a plurality of partitions. An exhaust port is formed at the upper supporter to exhaust deionized water.

  • Patent number: 10020525
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a state of a fuel cell stack as being contaminated includes measuring an impedance of a fuel cell stack at a predetermined low frequency and a predetermined high frequency, increasing an amount of fuel or oxidizer supplied to the fuel cell stack when the impedance at the predetermined high frequency is lower than a first critical point and the impedance at the predetermined low frequency is higher than a second critical point, remeasuring the impedance of the fuel cell stack at the predetermined low frequency, and determining that the fuel cell stack is contaminated when the impedance at the predetermined low frequency that is measured in the remeasuring step is higher than the second critical point.
