Title:
CONTROL DEVICE OF VEHICULAR FUEL CELL SYSTEM AND RELATED METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004086545
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A control device (10) for a vehicular fuel cell system (S) is provided with a warm-up output control section (8) operative, when a fuel cell system is started up under a low temperature condition and in case that a fuel cell stack of the fuel cell system is warmed up, causing the fuel cell stack to generate electric power to allow predetermined warm-up electric power to be taken out, and a run permission section (7) operative, during a period wherein the warm-up electric power is taken out by the warm-up output control section, to discriminate whether the fuel cell stack assumes a predetermined warm-up condition on the basis of one of a voltage value and an electric current value of the fuel cell stack. And, when discrimination is made that the fuel cell stack assumes the predetermined warm-up condition, the run permission section provides a vehicle with run permission.
