FUEL CELL SYSTEM

摘要

A method of starting operation of a fuel cell system (100) comprising a fuel cell stack (HO), the method comprising the steps of: i) opening an anode inlet valve (153) to allow fuel to enter an anode volume of the fuel cell stack (110); H) operating an air compressor (133) in fluid communication with a cathode air inlet (126) of the fuel cell stack (110) to allow air to enter a cathode volume of the fuel cell stack (110); iii) monitoring the temperature of the cathode inlet (126) and/or outlet (121); and iv) operating a water injection system to inject water into the cathode volume once the temperature of fluid passing through the cathode inlet and/or outlet exceeds a preset level, wherein a current drawn from the fuel cell stack (110) is limited to prevent a voltage measured across one or more cells in the fuel cell stack (110) from falling below a first voltage threshold.
