Abstract
A ventilation system for an electrochemical cell includes a control unit, a sensor disposed in informational communication with the control unit, and a fan disposed in operable communication with the control unit. The sensor is configured to sense a condition within the ventilation system, and the fan is operable in response to information received at the sensor.
Claims20
A gas producing system, comprising:
- an electrochemical cell;
- a gas storage facility disposed in fluid communication with the electrochemical cell;
- and
- a ventilation system disposed in fluid communication with the electrochemical cell and the gas storage facility, the ventilation system comprising a first zone in which a first pressure is maintained and a second zone in which a second pressure is maintained, the second pressure being less than the first pressure.
A ventilation system for an electrochemical cell, the ventilation system comprising:
- a control unit;
- a sensor disposed in informational communication with the control unit, the sensor being configured to sense a condition within the ventilation system;
- and
- a fan disposed in operable communication with the control unit, the fan being operable in response to information received at the sensor to provide a positive airflow through the ventilation system and into an external environment.
A ventilation system for a hydrogen-producing electrolysis cell disposed in fluid communication with a hydrogen storage facility, the ventilation system comprising:
- a cabinet defining a first zone and a second zone;
- a sensor disposed at the cabinet;
- a control unit disposed in informational communication with the sensor;
- and
- a fan adapted to provide an airflow to the cabinet and to maintain a positive pressure across the first and second zones, the fan being disposed in informational communication with the control unit and being controllable in response to a signal received at the sensor, and wherein the pressure in the first zone is greater than a pressure in the second zone.
A ventilation system for a hydrogen storage facility disposed in fluid communication with a hydrogen-producing electrolysis cell, the ventilation system comprising:
- means for sensing a condition at the hydrogen storage facility;
- and
- means for providing a purging of the hydrogen storage facility disposed in operable communication with the means for sensing the condition at the hydrogen storage facility.
