Abstract
A fuel cell system including a hydrogen tank configured to store hydrogen supplied to a fuel cell stack, a heater configured to heat the hydrogen tank, a cooler configured to cool the hydrogen tank by circulating cooling water, and a controller configured to adjust a temperature of the hydrogen tank by controlling the heater and the cooler responsive to a measured temperature of the hydrogen tank.
Claims17
A fuel cell system, comprising:
- a hydrogen tank configured to store hydrogen supplied to a fuel cell stack;
- a heater configured to heat the hydrogen tank;
- a cooler configured to cool the hydrogen tank by circulating cooling water;
- and
- a controller configured to adjust a temperature of the hydrogen tank by controlling the heater and the cooler responsive to a measured temperature of the hydrogen tank.
2 more elements
A processor-implemented method, the method comprising:
- acquiring a temperature of a hydrogen tank;
- and
- controlling one of a heater configured to heat the hydrogen tank and a cooler configured to cool the hydrogen tank responsive to the temperature of the hydrogen tank.
A device, comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions;
- and
- a memory storing the instructions, wherein execution of the instructions configures the processor to:
- receive a measured temperature of a hydrogen tank;
- and
- adjust a temperature of the hydrogen tank by controlling a heater and a cooler responsive to the measured temperature of the hydrogen tank;
- a first cooling line receiving cooling water from the cooler, the first cooling line being configured to circulate the cooling water through an electrical component;
- a branching valve configured to selectively provide the cooling water circulates to a second cooling line;
- and
- the second cooling line receiving the cooling water through the branching valve and being configured to circulate the cooling water through the hydrogen tank.
