Systems and methods for validating detected leaks in a fuel cell system

摘要

Systems and methods for detecting and validating a leak in a fuel cell system are illustrated. In certain embodiments, different setpoints of the fuel cell stack may be adjusted so that appropriate H2 flow data may be obtained to identify and validate an H2 leak and / or location of such a leak. In some embodiments, H2 flow data may be obtained by adjusting certain operating parameters of the fuel cell system under a variety of operating conditions and / or modes and measuring flow data under such various operating conditions.
