摘要:
A method for shutting down an electricity supply system comprising a fuel cell, the cell being supplied with pure oxygen as the combustive gas and delivering an electric voltage to an electric power line, the system comprising a fuel gas feed circuit on the anode side and an oxygen feed circuit on the cathode side, the oxygen feed circuit comprising means that enable the said oxygen feed circuit to be opened to the atmosphere and means for delivering a stop signal to a control unit of the fuel cell. The shutting down procedure is activated on reception of a stop signal and comprises an initial stage during which the supply of oxygen is interrupted, a consumption stage during which a sustained current is drawn from the fuel cell, a neutralisation phase during which the oxygen feed circuit is opened to the atmosphere, and a final stage during which the supply of hydrogen is interrupted.

A device is provided for monitoring an electrical accumulation battery that includes a set of cells connected in series. The device includes means for measuring a current intensity delivered by the battery; means for measuring an electrical voltage between an upstream connection point and a downstream connection point of each cell of the battery; a recorder that records a zero-current electrical voltage between the upstream connection point and the downstream connection point of each cell of the battery; and an electrical resistance estimator configured to periodically estimate an electrical resistance of each cell in the battery, between the upstream connection point and the downstream connection point.

Procedure for detecting the permeability state of the polymeric ion-exchange membrane of a fuel cell stack, in which, as soon as the pressure difference in the anode and cathode circuits drops to a value below a threshold value PS, the pressure variation in said circuits for a predetermined time period tC is measured and the pressure difference in these circuits at the end of a predetermined time period, called the control pressure PC, is calculated and a warning is given when the control pressure PC is below a warning threshold PA.
摘要:
A shut-down procedure for an electricity delivery system comprising a fuel cell, the cell being fed with pure oxygen as oxidant and delivering an electrical voltage to an electrical power line. The electricity delivery system comprises a fuel gas circuit on the anode side, and a pure oxygen circuit on the cathode side. The shut-down procedure comprises the steps of an initial step during which the oxygen gas feed is interrupted, and an electrical consumption phase during which a hold current is drawn from the fuel cell until the pressure in the oxygen circuit reaches the water vapor pressure.

Procedure for detecting the sealing state of a fuel cell stack in which, as soon as the fuel cell stack is considered to be extinguished, the sum of the pressures in the anode circuit and in the cathode circuit equal to P1 is recorded. After an additional period of time of 180 seconds, the sum of the pressures in the anode circuit and in the cathode circuit equal to P2 is recorded. If P2 is less than P1, an alarm is triggered.

摘要:
An electrochemical reactor, such as a fuel cell stack or an electrolyzer, includes a stack of electrochemical cells, a manifold, a sensor, and a monitor. Each electrochemical cell includes an electrode plate having a face in electrical contact with an electrolyte. The manifold is connected to the faces of the electrochemical cells in an exchange circuit, for exchanging a gas with outside of the stack. The sensor is sensitive to a composition of the gas in the circuit. The monitor monitors or controls an operational condition of the electrochemical reactor in response to measurements by the sensor. The stack and the manifold form a one-piece reactor body. A chamber is integrated into the body in communication with the manifold. The sensor is mounted in the body and includes a sensitive or sensing unit exposed directly to an in situ concentration of a component of the gas in the chamber.
