Appl. No.:

12/458355

Inventors:

Arne Ballantine - Palo Alto CA, US
Kirsten Burpee - San Jose CA, US
Brent Cheldelin - San Carlos CA, US
David Trevisan - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

H01M 8/04
H01M 2/00
G01M 3/28
H01M 10/46

US Classification:

429410, 73 407, 429443, 429452, 320101

Abstract:

Embodiments relate to a fuel cell system. In an embodiment, the fuel cell system includes advanced leak test capabilities. In another embodiment, the fuel cell system includes a system to bypass one or more separation units while permitting the fuel cell system to continue to produce electricity. In another embodiment, the fuel cell system includes an alignment system that permits ease of alignment when a fuel cell module is installed proximate a fuel processing module. In another embodiment, the fuel cell system includes a system of supplying auxiliary fuel from a mobile auxiliary fuel supply. In an embodiment, one or more or all of these embodiments may be practiced together in combination.
