  • Fuel cell purge systems and related processes
    Patent number: 11121385
    Abstract: A fuel cell purge system includes a primary fuel cell in fluid communication with a purge cell. Fuel and oxidant purged with inert gas impurities from the primary fuel cell react in the purge cell, thereby decreasing the volume of purged gases and facilitating storage while maintaining fuel cell electrochemical performance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 14, 2021
    Assignee: TELEDYNE ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC.
    Inventors: Robert K. Wynne, Patrick Scott Ferguson, Robert Christopher Utz
