Abstract:
An electrochemical cell system comprising:an electrochemical cell; an electrical source configured for providing a quantity of electrical energy to said electrochemical cell; a sensing apparatus in operable communication with a gas output from said electrochemical cell, said sensing apparatus adapted to provide a first signal indicative of a parameter of said gas output; and a computer in operable communication with said sensing apparatus and said electrical source, said computer including: a processor programmed for retrieving a first operational parameter and a predetermined variance from a memory device; comparing said first signal to said first operational parameter; providing a third signal to said electrical source in response to said first signal differing from said first operational parameter by an amount greater than said predetermined variance; adjusting an output of said electrical source in response to said third signal; adjusting at least one of said predetermined value and said predetermined variance based on feedback from said electrical source; wherein said processor and a non-volatile memory device are operably coupled to a remote computer, said remote computer is configured to provide said first operational parameter to said non-volatile memory device.
