  • Fuel cell system and control method for the same
    Patent number: 8580447
    Abstract: An ECU estimates a dispersion among wet states of cells arranged in a lamination direction of a fuel cell. When it is determined that the dispersion among the wet states is equal to or exceed a threshold, the ECU controls a flow rate of a coolant, flow rates of gases, and pressures of gases to suppress the dispersion among the wet states below the threshold. The ECU controls the flow rate of the coolant with higher priority than the other parameters.
    Type: Grant
