Manufacturing And Designing An Oxygen Sensor In Fuel Cell Systems

Fuel Cell is a renewable energy source that has the potential to significantly reduce human dependency on fossil fuels. Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cells use hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the air to produceelectricity. The volume of oxygen will decrease in indoor location where the Fuel Cell is located. Lack ofoxygen is not only harmful for the Fuel Cell system but also causes life threatening problems for users.Therefore, one of the important issues of installation of every Fuel Cell system is consideration of safety issues. In this paper a new oxygen safety system is proposed for a 10 kW PEM Fuel Cell which contains designing of an oxygen sensor and also a monitoring and control software. The proposed safety system was designed andproduces in Isfahan Research Center under supervision of Iranian Space Agency. The novel safety system sends 10 kW PEM Fuel Cell to a safe mode under hazardous conditions
