The startup behaviour of PEM fuel cells at subfreeze zero is one of the most challenging tasks to be solved before PEM fuel cell vehicle is commercialized. Automotive companies are trying to increase cold statup capability of fuel cell. In this study, we found out the design factor of the stack to increase cold startup capability using 4kW stack and then cold startup test was performed at the various shutdown condition and the various current. In order to test the cold startup possibility and capability in vehicle, we installed 80kW stack in the vehicle and this 80kW fuel cell vehicle was housed in an environmental chamber to investigate the characteristics of cold startup and driving. We found that it is possible for fuel cell vehicle with 80kW stack to self-heated cold startup and drive at $-15^{\circ}C$.

The sub-zero cold is a major environmental consideration for the operational readiness of FCEVs because fuel cells produce water and utilize wet air with varying water content to generate electricity. Typical fuel cells thus have a fatal flaw in freezing conditions at startup. This drawback becomes more serious with the outsourced fuel cell that is entirely water-based for its internal humidification. In this background, the HMC's self-designed fuel cell was developed as an alternative and was employed in the Tucson-based FCEV in 2006 demonstrating its good cold-startup characteristics. The cold-startup capacity of the vehicle was validated through tests in the cold chamber and on the road, resulting in 50% stack power achieved in 250 seconds at $-15^{\circ}C$.

The improvement of cold start capability is one of the most challenging tasks to be solved for commercialization of fuel cell vehicle. In this study, cold start test and ice blocking test(IBT) of fuel cell stack were carried out under various operating conditions. This fuel cell stack can be thawed from -20$^{\circ}$C within 25s and the voltage change was found to be comprised of 4 steps; the first step is the voltage decrease by overpotential, the second step is the voltage increase by the cell temperature increase, the third step is the voltage decrease by ice blocking, and the last step is the voltage increase by thawing. Bootstrap startup was failed after shutdown at temperature under 40$^{\circ}$C because of much condensed water in the fuel cell. Quantitative estimation of cold start capability have been demonstrated by ice blocking test(IBT). In the results, it was found that cold start capability was improved double every 10$^{\circ}$C from 30$^{\circ}$C to 65$^{\circ}$C and enhanced by 30% at the condition of SR 3/4 compared to SR 1.5/2.0 and enhanced by 20% with dry purge condition compared to with RH 50% purge condition.

본 연구에서는 고고도의 저압 환경을 모사하기 위한 CBD(Center Body Diffuser)의 시동특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. Center Body Diffuser의 형상을 다양하게 구성할 수 있도록 실험 장치를 설계/제작하여, 상온 유동 실험을 통해 CBD 형상에 따른 저압환경 구현 성능과 시동 특성을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과 센터바디의 수축각이 약 15도 일 때 시동압력이 가장 낮은 것을 확인하였다. 또한 디퓨저 입구부 길이($L_d/D_d$)가 감소할수록, 확산부 길이($L_s$)가 증가할수록 시동특성이 크게 향상되었다. 또한 디퓨저 입구부 길이($L_d/D_d$) 변화만을 통해 진공 챔버 압력을 조절할 수 있는 CBD만의 설비적 장점을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 다양한 기체를 사용한 액체로켓엔진의 시동특성 및 적합성, 그리고 호환성 등에 대해 고찰하였다. 엔진의 시동특성은 파이로 시동기 및 헬륨 기체 시동에 대해 고찰하였으며, 파이로 시동기 및 헬륨, 수소+질소 혼합기체 그리고 공기 등을 구동매질로 할 때의 시험 적합성과 호환성 등에 대해 고찰하였다. 대부분의 기체가 엔진의 시동특성과 호환성을 만족시키는 것을 알 수 있었으나, 공기의 경우 저추력의 경우에만 사용할 수 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In recent times, starting up polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells(PEMFC) in sub-zero condition is a great challenge of fuel cell electric vehicle(FCEV). The water produced in a cathode during PEMFCs operate. The water changes into the form of solid/ice in sub-zero temperatures and this makes trouble in PEMFC cells. Voltage of PEMFC drops and cold startup is failed. This paper describes an experimental study on the effect of thermal cycle to degradation of MEA in PEMFC.

Cell degradation when anode channels are blocked during cold start up was tested and measured. Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stacks with several configurations of channel blockages were operated and decay in performance was analyzed. When only channels near hydrogen inlet were blocked, performance was rarely changed. In contrast, significant cell reversal occurred and considerable amount of $CO_2$ was produced when all channels near inlet and outlet were blocked. In the case, it was also observed that performance was severely decreased in the area where hydrogen was not supplied sufficiently.
