DISPOSITIF ET PROCEDE CONTROLE DE L'HUMIDIFICATION D'UNE PILE A COMBUSTIBLE

摘要

The cell (1) has a package (3) comprising an enclosure provided with a mobile cap (5) on a side of the cell intended to be exposed to air. An element is made of material that deforms based on a humidity ratio in the package. A control circuit controls opening and closing of the mobile cap. A switch is opened and closed based on the deformation of the material, where the switch is associated with the control unit. The switch and the control unit are series-connected between two electrodes of the cell. An independent claim is also included for a method for starting an oxygen/hydrogen fuel cell formed in a package.
