  • ROBUST VOLTAGE MANAGEMENT IN ELECTROCHEMICAL HYDROGEN CELLS
    Publication number: 20080121532
    Abstract: Apparatus and operating methods are provided for integrated electrochemical hydrogen separation and compression systems. In one possible embodiment, an electrical potential is provided across an electrochemical cell. A portion of the potential is shunted to an electrical load when the potential is higher than a predetermined threshold. As an example, a Zener diode can be used as a suitable shunting mechanism. The invention can be used with individual cells or stacks of cells. Various methods, features and system configurations are discussed.
