  • Purge system for a hydrogen fuel system
    Patent number: 12473862
    Abstract: A hydrogen fuel system including a fuel delivery assembly, a purge gas source, and a vent. The fuel delivery assembly is configured to receive hydrogen fuel from a hydrogen fuel source and to provide the hydrogen fuel from the hydrogen fuel source to a power generator. The purge gas source is fluidly coupled to the fuel delivery assembly and configured to provide a purge gas to the fuel delivery assembly. The vent is fluidly coupled to the fuel delivery assembly and configured to vent hydrogen fuel from the fuel delivery assembly when the purge gas is provided to the fuel delivery assembly.

  • COMPONENTS, ASSEMBLIES, AND DEVICES HAVING A CATALYST
    Publication number: 20250170543
    Abstract: A component includes a conduit region having a flow path to convey a fluid including a reactive compound, a connector region having an external surface and a joining surface to fluidly connect the conduit region to another component, and a catalyst having a platinum group metal. The catalyst is positioned on at least one surface chosen from the joining surface of the connector region, the external surface of the connector, and combinations thereof. The flow path is free of the catalyst and the catalyst is positioned to contact and to react the reactive compound if the reactive compound escapes the flow path.
