Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for a fuel cell vehicle is provided. The system includes an electrolytic cell installed to react residual hydrogen or oxygen within a stack when a fuel cell starts up and is shut down instead of an auxiliary resistor mounted on an exterior of a stack, thereby increasing stack durability. Particularly, the system for the fuel cell vehicle includes a stack unit of a fuel cell and an electrolytic cell unit configured to store energy in the form of hydrogen or oxygen.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A system for a fuel cell vehicle, comprising: a stack unit of a fuel cell; and an electrolytic cell unit configured to store energy in the form of hydrogen and oxygen. 2 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic cell unit includes: a hydrogen capturing unit configured to store hydrogen; and an oxygen capturing unit configured to store oxygen. 3 . The system according to claim 2 , wherein the electrolytic cell unit further includes a hydrogen supplier configured to receive hydrogen from the hydrogen capturing unit and provide the received hydrogen to the stack unit 4 . The system according to claim 2 , wherein the electrolytic cell unit further includes an oxygen supplier configured to receive oxygen from the oxygen capturing unit and provide the received oxygen to the stack unit. 5 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic cell unit is configured to store regenerative braking energy generated when a fuel cell vehicle is decelerated and stopped, in the form of hydrogen and oxygen. 6 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the stack unit includes a stack discharge water capturing unit configured to capture water discharged from the stack unit and supply water to the electrolytic cell unit.
