  • Publication number: 20050079393
    Abstract: This invention relates to a constant temperature control system for fuel cell systems. The first end of the heat pipe is extended into the interior of the temperature/fuel sensing layer in order to conduct the heat produced during the anode action of the fuel cell core component to the second end of the heat pipe. The second end of the heat pipe is connected to a heat sink. A device is used to disperse the heat and lower the temperature of the heat sink and a device to increase the temperature of the heat sink. A temperature control processing unit that detects the temperature and heat produced in the anode action of the fuel cell core component. As a result, the constant temperature control system keeps the temperature of the anode fuel within a predetermined temperature range, and increases the effectiveness of the anode action of the fuel cell core component.
