| 20090014149 | Apparatus for cooling hydrogen recirculation blower for fuel cell vehicle - The present invention provides an apparatus for cooling a hydrogen recirculation blower for a fuel cell vehicle the apparatus including: a blower housing including an inlet and an outlet for hydrogen recirculation provided in a front part thereof, and an impeller and a motor for driving the hydrogen recirculation blower provided therein; a cooling passage, through which hydrogen is supplied to the blower housing to provide heat exchange, provided to the blower housing; and a hydrogen supply line, through which hydrogen is supplied to the cooling passage to cool the motor, branched from a hydrogen supply pipe and connected to the blower housing, thereby improving cooling efficiency of the motor and ensuring stability of the fuel cell system. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090017745 | Ventilation apparatus for fuel cell vehicle - The present invention provides a ventilation apparatus for a fuel cell vehicle, which can rapidly remove high-temperature air generated in the inside of a stack case by moving the same to an air cleaner using a suction pressure of air supplied for the operation of the fuel cell vehicle, reduce the risk incurred due to hydrogen leakage by moving leaking hydrogen to the air cleaner, and maintain the temperature of a fuel cell stack constant. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090208797 | Fuel cell stack humidification device - A fuel cell stack humidification device includes: an air flow field provided on a fuel cell separator and including an inlet portion and an outlet portion; and a water absorbing member mounted on both sides and the bottom of the air flow field to transfer water in the outlet portion to the inlet portion. The humidification device can provide an auxiliary humidification function and minimize the volume that a humidifier occupies in a fuel cell vehicle. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090208798 | Humidification system using injector for fuel cell stack - A humidification system using an injector for a fuel cell stack includes: a fuel cell separator including a reaction flow field, and an air inlet port and an air outlet port formed at a front portion and an end portion of the reaction flow field, respectively; a humidification chamber provided at a part of or the whole length of the front portion of the reaction flow field of the separator; and an injector mounted at a starting point of the humidification chamber to inject a mixture of water and air into the humidification chamber. With the system, humidification efficiency can be improved and/or maximized without an increase in the volume of the fuel cell stack. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090214915 | Fuel cell system using evaporative cooling and method of cooling fuel cell system - The present invention provides a fuel cell system using evaporative cooling that generates electricity by reacting hydrogen as a fuel and air as an oxidant. The system includes a fuel cell stack including a cooling channel provided on a bipolar plate separately from an air channel and a hydrogen channel, an air inlet line connected to an inlet side of the cooling channel of the fuel cell stack, a water injection means provided at the inlet side of the cooling channel to inject water into air introduced to the cooling channel through the air inlet line, and an air compression means provided at the rear of the fuel cell stack and connected to a discharge line coupled to an outlet side of the cooling channel to provide a suction force to the cooling channel and to compress a mixture of air and water vapor sucked from the cooling channel. The present system provides advantages in that the configuration of the fuel cell system is simplified, lightweight, and downsized, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100203401 | HUMIDIFICATION SYSTEM USING INJECTOR FOR FUEL CELL STACK - A humidification system using an injector for a fuel cell stack includes: a fuel cell separator including a reaction flow field, and an air inlet port and an air outlet port formed at a front portion and an end portion of the reaction flow field, respectively; a humidification chamber provided at a part of or the whole length of the front portion of the reaction flow field of the separator; and an injector mounted at a starting point of the humidification chamber to inject a mixture of water and air into the humidification chamber. With the system, humidification efficiency can be improved and/or maximized without an increase in the volume of the fuel cell stack. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100304234 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AMOUNT OF AIR SUPPLIED TO FUEL CELL - The present invention provides a method for controlling the amount of air supplied to a fuel cell, which can prevent flooding and membrane dry-out in a fuel cell stack and, at the same time, ensure optimal performance of the fuel cell stack and a humidifier by supplying an optimal amount of air to the fuel cell stack at each operation condition. | 12-02-2010 |
