  • Publication number: 20180175417
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a hydrogen cut-off valve, which may be provided on a hydrogen supply line of a fuel cell system, in driving a fuel cell vehicle mounted with a hydrogen supply line including a high-pressure tank storing hydrogen, a hydrogen supply valve, and a hydrogen cut-off valve.

  • Patent number: 9859577
    Abstract: A hydrogen feed and recirculation device for a fuel cell system supplies hydrogen from a hydrogen tank and unreacted recirculated hydrogen discharged from a stack to the stack. The hydrogen feed and recirculation device can supply hydrogen to the stack through a first nozzle when hydrogen supply pressure is low and supply the hydrogen to the stack through a second nozzle using a Coanda Effect other than the first nozzle when the hydrogen supply pressure is high to satisfy a required hydrogen supply amount through an entire operating area of the fuel cell and prevent nozzle vibration and noise generation.

  • Publication number: 20170179511
    Abstract: A method of controlling purge of a fuel cell system for a vehicle is provided. The method determines whether a purge function is normally performed in controlling purge of discharging nitrogen, hydrogen, and vapor within an anode of a fuel cell system. Particularly, the method confirms whether purge is performed by measuring a duty or a current applied to a hydrogen supply valve and measuring a change in the duty before and after an application of a purge valve operation command while adjusting a pressure inside the anode, which supplies hydrogen, to be uniform. Further, a hydrogen supply amount supplied into an anode is estimated and a change rate of a hydrogen supply amount supplied to the anode and a hydrogen amount consumed during a generation of the fuel cell system are estimated during a purge function, to determine whether purge is actually performed based on the estimated information.

  • Patent number: 9368806
    Abstract: An ejector for supplying a fuel, such as hydrogen, to a stack in a fuel cell system can automatically move a position of a nozzle according to an increase or a decrease of a system load.
