  • Patent number: 11894538
    Abstract: A fuel cell-battery system includes: a battery module including a battery that stores electric power and a coolant line through which coolant circulates to cool the battery; a fuel cell module including a hydrogen tank that stores hydrogen, a fuel cell that produces the electric power using the hydrogen, and a hydrogen line that connects the hydrogen tank and the fuel cell to deliver the hydrogen from the hydrogen tank to the fuel cell; and a heat exchange module through which the coolant line and the hydrogen line pass such that the coolant is cooled by heat exchange with the hydrogen and the hydrogen is heated by heat exchange with the coolant.

  • Patent number: 11815228
    Abstract: A system and a method for filling a tank are provided. The tank filling system includes tanks that are filled with predetermined fluid and a manifold that is coupled to each of the plurality of tanks in a communication manner. A first flow passage is connected to a first inlet of the manifold to supply the fluid to be filled into the plurality of tanks to the manifold and a second flow passage is connected to a second inlet of the manifold spaced apart from the first inlet of the manifold by a predetermined distance to supply the fluid to be filled into the plurality of tanks to the manifold. A controller opens and closes the first flow passage and the second flow passage.
