Publication number: 20120129067Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooling water supply system and a cooling water supply method for a fuel cell system in which a temperature difference in a fuel cell stack is prevented from increasing due to a rapid increase of a power output required in the stack by detecting a requested/demanded output. According to the present invention, a temperature difference in the stack due to a rapid increase in a power output demanded by the fuel cell stack is prevented from being rapidly increased by detecting a requested output (e.g., an amount an accelerator pedal is pushed, etc.) to calculate a power output required by the stack, calculating a predicted amount of generated heat depending on a required power output, and calculating a flux of supplied cooling water corresponding to the predicted amount of generated heat to control a flow rate of a cooling water supplier.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2011Publication date: May 24, 2012Applicant: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANYInventors: Gi Young Nam, Chi Myung Kim, Haeong Jin Ko, Seong Kyun Kim, Seung Yong Lee, Yun Seok Kim
