A recent patent filed by the company OBSCHESTVO S OGRANICHENNOI OTVETSTVENNOSTIU “EVOKARGO” on August 8, 2024, introduces a new power supply system tailored for vehicles that leverages hydrogen fuel cell technology.
This innovative system is meticulously designed to improve the reliability of hydrogen fuel cells, which are a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based engines.
Unique Features and Improvements
The patented technology includes a power supply system encased in a housing that incorporates several vital components: a voltage converter and a hydrogen supply module. Notably, the hydrogen supply module features an inlet for connection to a hydrogen storage system and a low-pressure regulator. The outlet of the regulator is connected via an electromagnetic valve to nylon tubes that feed into two fuel cells. Each fuel cell is equipped with a fan, an air filter, and a control board connected to a buffer battery through a solid-state relay. The outputs from these control boards are then routed to the voltage converter via a master control board. This comprehensive arrangement is further connected to both a traction battery and an electric motor, facilitating the vehicle’s movement.
Potential Applications
The primary application of this patented power supply system is in the automotive industry. Specifically, it is designed for integration into vehicles that utilize hydrogen fuel cells as their main power source. The sophisticated design allows for greater reliability and efficiency, making it suitable for various types of vehicles, including passenger cars, commercial trucks, and potentially even public transportation systems.
