CONTROL EQUIPMENT FOR INTENDING AN ACTUAL FUEL CONVERSION FOR A GAS CELL ARRANGEMENT PROCEDURE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF A FUEL CONVERSION OF A GAS CELL ARRANGEMENT AND GAS CELL ARRANGEMENT

摘要

The present invention describes a control device for determining an actual fuel turnover for a fuel cell arrangement comprising a voltage reception device for receiving values of a voltage applying over the fuel cell arrangement, a fuel flow setting device for setting a flow of fuel supplied or suppliable to a fuel cell arrangement and/or a current setting device for setting an electrical current output by the fuel cell arrangement, as well as a memory for storing calibration data describing a nominal relation between the fuel turnover of the fuel cell arrangement and a voltage applying over the fuel cell arrangement. The control device is adapted to receive a first voltage value; to control a variation of the flow of fuel supplied to the fuel cell arrangement and/or the current output by the fuel cell arrangement after receiving the first voltage value; and to receive a second voltage value after the variation. In addition, the control device is adapted to determine the actual fuel turnover of the fuel cell arrangement based on the first voltage value, the second voltage value and the calibration data. Moreover, the invention pertains to a corresponding method and a fuel cell arrangement.
