  • Publication number: 20150214566
    Abstract: A fuel cell stack manifold having an ejector function of which the manufacturing cost and the weight can be reduced by optimizing hydrogen supply and recirculation channels and removing other members. hardware without a separate ejector structure for additionally attaching an ejector, of which the productivity can be improved by removing from an ejector assembly process. The fuel cell system minimizes joints through which hydrogen may leak, by implementing a new structure of a manifold added with an ejector function by integrally forming/manufacturing a stack manifold having a venturi and diffuser structure and adding a nozzle thereto.

  • Patent number: 9029032
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for controlling hydrogen supply of a fuel cell system and a method for controlling the same. The apparatus includes a jet pump, a proportional control solenoid valve, and a controller. The jet pump is disposed at the side of an inlet of a fuel cell stack and performs supply and recirculation of hydrogen into the fuel cell stack. The proportional control solenoid valve is connected to a hydrogen supply line and fluidly communicates with a nozzle inlet of the jet pump to control the hydrogen supply to the jet pump. The controller controls an operation of the proportional control solenoid valve according to a power of the fuel cell system. Here, the controller controls the operation of the proportional control solenoid valve according to a pulse flow control method at a low power section in which a current power is lower than a predetermined reference power.

  • Publication number: 20130295482
    Abstract: Disclosed is a hydrogen supply system for a fuel cell, which has an integrated manifold block in which components for hydrogen supply are integrated and modulated. In particular, a hydrogen supply line, a hydrogen discharge line, and a hydrogen recirculation line are formed in a manifold block mounted on the outside of a plurality of stack modules of a fuel cell stack. Additionally, components of the hydrogen supply system including components for supplying and discharging hydrogen and components for recirculating hydrogen are integrally mounted in predetermined positions of the hydrogen supply line, the hydrogen discharge line, and the hydrogen recirculation line to modularize the manifold block and the components of the hydrogen supply system.

  • Patent number: 8481218
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hydrogen exhaust system for a fuel cell vehicle, which is configured to actively control an exhaust path of hydrogen discharged from an anode of a fuel cell stack to maximize the safety of the vehicle by minimizing the possibility of explosion due to hydrogen exhaust and ensure the silence of the vehicle by minimizing noise generated during hydrogen exhaust. Moreover, the present invention provides a hydrogen exhaust system for a fuel cell vehicle, which can improve the performance and power of the fuel cell stack by supplying water discharged from the fuel cell stack to an air supply line of the fuel cell stack together with purge hydrogen discharged to a hydrogen exhaust line to increase the humidification performance of the fuel cell stack.
