  • Patent number: 9853314
    Abstract: Flow field plates in solid polymer electrolyte fuel cells can be subject to ice blockages in certain areas during freeze start-up, e.g. the backfeed ports and slots used in some flow field plate designs which connect an outlet plenum channel for a reactant to its outlet. By incorporating a similar and adjacent relief backfeed port, slot and plenum channel arrangement in which the relief plenum channel is separated from the outlet plenum channel by a landing, a relief outlet for the reactant is provided through the adjacent gas diffusion layer.

  • Publication number: 20170362964
    Abstract: A valve drive device for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The valve drive device has an axially displaceable cam element and an adjusting device with a first engagement element which displaces the cam element axially into a first switching position and a second engagement element which displaces the cam element axially into a second switching position. The adjusting device has a first slotted guide track in which the first engagement element is guided in the first switching position and a second slotted guide track in which the second engagement element is guided in the second switching position. The first engagement element is positively coupled to the second engagement element. The adjusting device includes a triggering device which holds the first engagement element fixedly in the second switching position counter to a restoring force. A method for axial displacement of a rotating cam element is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9835116
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The engine has at least two combustion chambers and an exhaust gas tract with at least one exhaust gas duct associated with the combustion chambers and through which exhaust gas from the combustion chambers can flow to guide the exhaust gas to a turbine of an exhaust gas turbocharger. An exhaust gas return line branches off the exhaust gas duct and has an adjustable shut-off element, by which a respective cross section, through which exhaust gas can flow, of the exhaust gas recirculation line and the exhaust gas duct can be adjusted. The internal combustion engine can be operated in a cylinder shut-down mode, in which introduction of fuel into a first of the combustion chambers is prevented and introduction of fuel into the second combustion chamber takes place. A method for operating the internal combustion engine is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9831509
    Abstract: A device for separating a fluid having a water and gas portion in a fuel cell system includes a fluid inlet an a fluid outlet with an outlet valve. The separating device includes a first reservoir region for collecting the water portion of the fluid. The first reservoir region includes a first outlet to feed the water portion in the direction of the fluid outlet. The separating device also includes a second reservoir region having a second outlet that feeds the water portion in the direction of the fluid outlet so that the first reservoir region 19 is connected in series in terms of flow via the second reservoir region with the fluid outlet. In an installation position of the separating device the first outlet is arranged lower than the second outlet so that deposits of the water portion completely covering the first outlet are prevented from flowing away.
