Patent number: 11167642Abstract: A control device for controlling an electric motor vehicle drive having an electric drive, a first fuel-cell-based energy source, and a second fuel-cell-free energy source, has a human-machine interface for detecting a user input for selecting an operating mode for the motor vehicle drive and a control unit. The control unit is configured to receive a selection signal from the human-machine interface indicating a user input for selecting an operating mode for the motor vehicle drive and to control the motor vehicle drive in accordance with the selection signal to transfer the same into a first operating mode in which the first energy source is operated to supply the electric drive with electrical energy or to transfer the same into a second operating mode in which the first energy source is deactivated and in which the second energy source is operated to supply the electric drive with electrical energy.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Bozidar Lukovic, Martin Scherrer, Danilo Zimmermann, Jochen Pflueger

Patent number: 10205181Abstract: An exhaust system is provided for a device having at least one fuel cell. The exhaust system includes at least one exhaust duct for transporting anode-side and/or cathode-side exhaust gas of the fuel cell, at least one air inlet for supplying air, at least one air feeding device for feeding in the supplied air, at least one heat exchanger for heating up the supplied air, a mixing region for mixing exhaust gas of the fuel cell transported by way of the exhaust duct with the supplied air and forming a mixed exhaust gas, and a mixed exhaust gas outlet for carrying the mixed exhaust gas away from the exhaust system.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Bauer, Martin Scherrer, Martin Moser, Johannes Schmid, Norbert Frisch

Patent number: 10155452Abstract: A fuel cell system, in particular for a motor vehicle, has a fuel cell stack arranged in a housing and a measure for ventilating this housing by coupling the ventilation stream to another gas stream. The ventilation stream is fed to an air stream which is conducted through a radiator of the fuel cell system. The radiator is an ambient air heat exchanger. If the ventilation stream is fed in upstream of the radiator, a venting opening in the housing can be placed in such a way that the ventilation stream is entrained to the radiator by the inflow air stream. Alternatively, the ventilation stream can be fed to an exhaust gas stream of the fuel cell stack and the latter can be fed to the outflow stream of the radiator. A sensor for determining the hydrogen content in a gas stream downstream of the point where the ventilation stream is fed may be provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2016Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Stephan Friedrich, Martin Scherrer, Michael Bauer, Johannes Schmid, Norbert Frisch
