Abstract
A cathode oxygen depletion (COD) control method is provided. The method includes determining whether a COD heater operates and calculating power generation and power consumption when the COD heater operates. Additionally, the power consumption is adjusted by comparing the calculated power generation and power consumption.
Claims17
A cathode oxygen depletion (COD) control method for a fuel cell, comprising:
- determining, by a controller, whether a cathode oxygen depletion (COD) heater operates;
- calculating, by the controller, power generation and power consumption when the COD heater operates;
- and
- adjusting, by the controller, the power consumption by comparing the calculated power generation and power consumption.
