  • Publication number: 20110014531
    Abstract: A fuel cell system is provided. The fuel cell system includes a fuel tank, a fuel supply unit, a fuel cell stack, a liquefied recycling unit, a liquid level modulation unit, a sensing unit and a control unit. The fuel supply unit supplies a first fuel to the fuel tank. The fuel tank provides a second fuel to the fuel cell stack, and the fuel cell stack generates a first gas. The liquefied recycling unit liquefies the first gas, transforming the first gas into a recycled fluid. The liquid level modulation unit guides the recycled fluid into the fuel tank to maintain a stable fuel level of the second fuel in the fuel tank. The sensing unit senses a current signal provided by the fuel cell stack. The control unit calculates a current quantity according to the current signal to supply the first fuel to the fuel tank.

  • Publication number: 20100119897
    Abstract: A hydrogen fuel cell system. A gas/water distributor connects to a hydrogen fuel cell module. A hydrogen input pipe connects to the gas/water distributor, inputting hydrogen thereinto. A reservoir receives water. A water input pipe connects the gas/water distributor to the reservoir. A pump is connected to the water input pipe, transporting the water from the reservoir to the gas/water distributor. A gas/water confluent device connects to the hydrogen fuel cell module. The hydrogen fuel cell module is disposed between the gas/water distributor and the gas/water confluent device. An output pipe connects the gas/water confluent device to the reservoir.
