  • Patent number: 10160346
    Abstract: An exhaust port structure of a fuel cell vehicle includes a re-circulation fluid passage mounted on an upper portion of an exhaust pipe so as to be arranged parallel to the exhaust pipe, and a mixing pipe mounted on an end of the exhaust pipe and through which external air is suctioned. When a concentration of hydrogen in exhaust gas exceeds a reference value, hydrogen is re-circulated into the exhaust pipe via the re-circulation fluid passage and mixed with external air through the mixing pipe before being exhausted to outside. As a result, during starting and hydrogen purge to remove hydrogen from a fuel cell, the gas with high hydrogen concentration exhausted from the fuel cell and exhausted out of the vehicle can have reduced hydrogen concentration through the re-circulation fluid passage and the mixing pipe.
