Cooling module for a fuel cell system and method of detecting flowable coolant in a fuel cell system
Patent number: 11362345Abstract: Disclosed is a cooling module for use in a fuel cell system, the module includes a tank configured to receive a coolant therein, a coolant, a pump in fluid communication with the coolant in the tank and the fuel cell system, the pump being configured to transport the coolant to the fuel cell system, a heating element within the coolant in the tank, the heating element configured to heat the coolant, and at least one sensor in signal communication with a controller and in fluid communication with the tank. The sensor is configured to detect a change corresponding to the presence or absence of sufficient liquid coolant to initiate said pump, and the controller processes sensor data and is configured to actuate the pump.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2018Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Intelligent Energy LimitedInventors: Pratap Rama, Nathaniel Thomas Palmer, Sophie Charlotte Harris, David James Grimwade, Prajwal Nirwan -
