  • Patent number: 10608265
    Abstract: A system for controlling low-temperature starting of a fuel cell vehicle includes a high-pressure hydrogen flow control valve controlling a flow of hydrogen supplied to a fuel cell stack. A fuel cell controller is configured to change and control an opening rate of the high-pressure hydrogen flow control valve when an internal temperature of the fuel cell stack is a reference value or less. When the opening rate of the high-pressure hydrogen flow control valve decreases, a pressure of the hydrogen passing through the high-pressure hydrogen flow control valve decreases to increase a temperature of the hydrogen which is supplied to the fuel stack.

  • Patent number: 10396378
    Abstract: A device and method for improving stack performance of a fuel cell system are provided. The device includes a fuel cell controller that operates a stack of a normal-pressure fuel cell system. When the fuel cell controller determines that an operating state of the stack is normal and a current intake air pressure is decreased as a result of monitoring the current intake air pressure, a current output, and an exterior air temperature of the stack, the fuel cell controller increases the amount of air to be supplied into the stack by adjusting a range of a theoretical air ratio which is a theoretical ratio of an air amount to a coolant temperature in the stack.

  • Patent number: 10112486
    Abstract: A device for detecting leakage of gas of a fuel cell vehicle includes a gas sensor configured to determine whether gas leaks based on a change in a temperature by a catalyst reaction and a vehicle control unit including a comparator configured to read a variation in temperature from the gas sensor, and configured to control a fuel cell vehicle. A power application state is maintained in the comparator in a power off state of the fuel cell vehicle. Power of the gas sensor is switched at regular periodic intervals. The comparator determines the variation in temperature measured by the gas sensor, and, when the variation in temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the power of the gas sensor is switched to normal power.
