  • Publication number: 20250210676
    Abstract: A method for operating a fuel cell system, in particular a high-temperature fuel cell system. In at least one method step of the method, an oxygen-containing fluid is conveyed through at least one fuel cell unit of the fuel cell system for reaction with a fuel, wherein a flow parameter of the oxygen-containing fluid is adjusted according to a power balance of the fuel cell system. In at least one method step of the method, the power balance at a load change of the fuel cell system is partially replaced by an operating characteristic value of the fuel cell system determined in a stationary state of the fuel cell system.

  • Publication number: 20230253589
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a fuel cell system, wherein the fuel cell system is controlled in accordance with a system-specific digital twin (14) that represents the fuel cell system. According to the invention, the digital twin (14) controls the fuel cell system in at least two different active operating states (16, 18) of the fuel cell system.

  • Patent number: 11659699
    Abstract: A power electronics unit may include a circuit board and a cooling device. The circuit board may include at least one electronic component which, in a heat transfer region, is disposed flat against an electronics side of the circuit board. The cooling device may include at least one impingement jet chamber through which a cooling fluid is flowable from an inlet to an outlet. The cooling device may further include at least one nozzle plate having at least one flow nozzle. The at least one nozzle plate may be arranged in and divide the at least one impingement jet chamber into an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber, which may be fluidically connected to one another via the at least one flow nozzle. The at least one flow nozzle may accelerate and conduct the cooling fluid towards the heat transfer region of the at least one electronic component.

  • Patent number: 10808603
    Abstract: An engine system includes an engine with a crankshaft. The crankshaft is rotatable about a crankshaft axis that is defined in a first plane. A turbocharger includes a turbine and a compressor. The turbine is configured to be driven by an exhaust gas flow from the engine and drive the compressor about a common turbocharger axis. An included angle defined between a projection of the common turbocharger axis onto the first plane and the crankshaft axis is an acute angle.
