FUEL TANK HEAT DISSIPATION SYSTEM FOR FUEL CELL COOLING
DRIVE
January 26, 2023
A fuel tank heat dissipation system for fuel cell (FC) cooling is disclosed. in one example, at least one FC is in thermal communication with an intermediary heat exchanger. A fuel tank is also in fluid communication with the intermediary heat exchanger. A fluid is used to receive heat from the intermediary heat exchanger and flow along a first fluid path to the fuel tank. A nozzle is used to spray the fluid about an interior surface of the fuel tank, where the spray of the fluid about the interior of the fuel tank allows the fluid to dissipate the heat. A second fluid path from the fuel tank to the intermediary heat exchanger, the second fluid path to return the fluid that has dissipated the heat to the intermediary heat exchanger.
