Patent EP-2131436-A3 (EP)
Inventor: YOSHIDA NAOHIRO
IPC: H01M8/06
Filed: 2004-08-12
Abstract: Water contained in exhaust gas discharged from a fuel cell stack 22 is separated by a gas-liquid separator 48 and is accumulated in a recovery tank 54. The procedure of the invention sets a release amount of water and selects one or multiple positions for water release, based on the driving conditions including the vehicle speed and the acceleration, the turning state, activation or non-activation of skid reduction control, the distance from any object detected by clearance sonars 94a through 94d, a distance from a subsequent vehicle measured by an extremely high frequency radar 92, and the presence of raindrops detected by a raindrop detection sensor, and releases the water accumulated in the recovery tank 54 from water outlets at the selected one or multiple positions among water outlets 58a through 58f at multiple different locations. This arrangement ensures adequate release of the water produced by the fuel cell stack 22 to the atmosphere.

Abstract: A catalytic hydrocarbon reformer comprising a catalyst concentrically disposed within a reformer tube surrounded by an annular flow space for air entering a fuel-air mixing zone ahead of the catalyst. The catalyst is sustained by minimal insulative mounting material so that most of the side of the catalyst is exposed for radial radiative heat transfer to the reformer tube for cooling by air in the annular flow space. The forward portion of the mounting material preferably is formed of a thermally-conductive material to provide radial conductive cooling of the entry of the catalyst to prevent overheating during catalysis. The incoming air flow is protected from heat exchange with hot reformate exiting the catalyst, allowing for convective cooling of the catalyst side and greater cooling of the catalyst face, thus increasing the working life of the catalyst while providing for rapid startup of the reformer and associated fuel cell system.

Abstract: Bei dieser Anordnung und dem zugehörigen Verfahren für eine vorzugsweise optische Entfernungsmessung mit digital modulierten Signalen wird ein Empfangstaktsignal CL2 mit einer Takt-und-Datenrückgewinnung CDR aus dem Empfangssignal RXS wiedergewonnen und als Sendetaktsignal CL1 des modulierten Sendesignals TXS eingesetzt. Auf diese Weise wird eine feste Zahl von Datenpulsen im Ring Sender TX - Messpfad P1 - Empfänger RX - Sender TX untergebracht. Durch einen fehlertoleranten Vergleich zwischen gesendeten und empfangenen Daten kann man bestimmen, wieviele Datenpulse der Ring enthält. Mit einem Zähler wird die Schleifentaktfrequenz CLFL oder Symboldauer CLTL im Ring gemessen. Aus beiden berechnet man die Entfernung D1, D2. Laufzeitänderungen von Optik und Elektronik kann man durch Umschalten zwischen zwei Messpfaden P1, P2 herauskalibrieren.
