  • Patent number: 10756367
    Abstract: A fuel cell failure diagnostic apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a water-level sensor that senses a water-level of water generated at an anode side of a fuel cell stack and stored in a water trap and a drain valve for the drain control of the generated water. A drain valve position sensor senses a position of the drain valve. A controller detects a failure situation by performing failure diagnosis based on the sensing information generated from the water-level sensor and the drain valve position sensor, and performs a corresponding control depending upon the failure situation.

  • Publication number: 20190372141
    Abstract: The present invention provides a relative humidity and condensed water estimator for a fuel cell and a method for controlling condensed water drain using the same. Here, the relative humidity and condensed water estimator is utilized in control of the fuel cell system involving control of anode condensed water drain by outputting at least two of signals comprising air-side relative humidity, hydrogen-side relative humidity, air-side instantaneous or cumulative condensed water, hydrogen-side instantaneous or cumulative condensed water, instantaneous and cumulative condensed water of the humidifier, membrane water contents, catalyst layer oxygen partial pressure, catalyst layer hydrogen partial pressure, stack or cell voltage, air-side catalyst layer relative humidity, hydrogen-side catalyst layer relative humidity, oxygen supercharging ratio, hydrogen supercharging ratio, residual water in a stack, and residual water in a humidifier.

  • Patent number: 7323891
    Abstract: A method of and testing jig for sequentially testing front and rear surfaces of a semiconductor chip is shown. The testing jig includes a support package having a first cavity over which the semiconductor chip mounts; an infrared filter affixed relative to the first cavity and attached to a rear surface of the semiconductor chip; and a test substrate having a second cavity exposing the infrared filter and upon which the support package mounts. Front and rear surfaces of the semiconductor chip can be conveniently and sequentially tested. Because the testing jig includes the infrared filter and the heat pad, heat can be easily transmitted to the defective chip.
