发明名称 MULTI-STACK ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE
摘要 An electrochemical cell stack system may include a plurality of cell stacks fluidly connected by a plurality of first conduits to form a loop of cell stacks. At least one first valve may be located on each first conduit and may be capable of a closed configuration and an open configuration. Each of the cell stacks may have an input end for receiving a first fluid and an output end for discharging a second fluid. The system may deliver the first fluid from the fluid source to the input end of a first cell stack of the plurality of cell stacks via a first input line of a plurality of input lines and may receive the second fluid from the output end of a second cell stack of the plurality of cell stacks via a first output line of a plurality of output lines.

主权项 1. An electrochemical cell stack system comprising: a plurality of electrochemical cell stacks fluidly connected to each other by a plurality of first conduits, wherein each first conduit connects at least two cell stacks to form a loop of cell stacks, wherein each of the plurality of cell stacks has an input end for receiving a first fluid and an output end for discharging a second fluid; a plurality of first valves, wherein at least one first valve is located on each first conduit and the first valves are capable of a closed configuration to substantially prevent fluid flow and an open configuration to allow fluid flow; a fluid source fluidly connected to the input end of each of the plurality of cell stacks by a plurality of input lines, wherein the fluid source is configured to contain the first fluid; a purge mechanism fluidly connected to the output end of each of the plurality of cell stacks by a plurality of output lines, wherein the purge mechanism is configured to receive the second fluid; wherein the cell stack system is configured to deliver the first fluid from the fluid source to the input end of a first cell stack of the plurality of cell stacks via a first input line of the plurality of input lines and to receive the second fluid from the output end of a second cell stack of the plurality of cell stacks via a first output line of the plurality of output lines.
