摘要 |
A fuel supplying and controlling method and a fuel cell apparatus are provided in the present invention, in which a fuel sensor-less control method and a fuel concentration sensor are combined together to stabilize the operation of the fuel cell apparatus. In one embodiment of the present invention, an optimum range of fuel concentration is determined using the fuel sensor-less control method and then whether the fuel cell apparatus operates within the optimum range of fuel concentration or not is monitored using the fuel concentration sensor as a first line of defense, while the fuel sensor-less control method is used as a secondary line of defense for monitoring. In another embodiment of the present invention, the fuel sensor-less control method is used as a first line of defense for monitoring whether the fuel cell apparatus operates within the optimum range of fuel concentration or not and determining an optimum range of fuel concentration, while whether the fuel concentration exceeds the optimum range of fuel concentration is monitored using the fuel concentration sensor as a second line of defense for monitoring the fuel concentration.
