Abstract
A hydrogen supply apparatus includes: an air path having an inlet and an outlet; a fan that is disposed in the air path and produces a flow of air from the inlet to the outlet; a first pipe having an end that forms a first supply port through which to supply hydrogen gas to the air path; a flow control device that is attached to the first pipe and adjusts a flow rate of the hydrogen gas; and a hydrogen gas sensor, disposed downstream of the fan or the end in a direction of flow of the air that detects a concentration of the hydrogen gas in the air path, where the end is disposed between the fan and the outlet or between the fan and the inlet in the air path.
Claims20
A hydrogen supply apparatus comprising:
- an air path having an inlet through which an air introduced into the hydrogen supply apparatus from an outside of the hydrogen supply apparatus and an outlet through which the air is exhausted to the outside of the hydrogen supply apparatus;
- a fan that is disposed in the air path and produces a flow of the air from the inlet to the outlet;
- a first pipe having an end that forms a first supply port through which to supply hydrogen gas to the air path;
- a flow control device that is attached to the first pipe and adjusts a flow rate of the hydrogen gas;
- and
- a hydrogen gas sensor that is disposed downstream of the fan or the end in a direction of flow of the air and detects a concentration of the hydrogen gas in the air path,
- wherein the end is disposed between the fan and the outlet or between the fan and the inlet in the air path.
