摘要：Abruptly cutting off the power to a fuel cell test station during a trial may, insome instances, be necessary to prevent accidents that may damage equipment and/orharm nearby operators/technicians. Yet, abruptly shutting down a trial may leave the fuel
cell test station and fuel cell module under test in a potentially hazardous condition asresidual amounts of reactive fuel and oxidant may remain in various parts of the system.It is thus desirable to flush the systems with a purging gas to reduce the possibility ofdamage caused by residual amounts of fuel and oxidant remaining in the system.However, since the power in such circumstances is cut-off, delivering the purging gas in areliable way so as to prevent undesired side effects, such as the drying out of themembranes included in some fuel cells, has not previously been achieved. In someembodiments of the invention there is provided a gas-purge system and method, whichcan be advantageously employed immediately after a loss of power occurs, thatcontrollably delivers a purging gas to a fuel cell test station and fuel cell module undertest.
