MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517043998 A) filed by Robert Bosch Gmbh, Stuttgart, Germany, on May 6, for 'fuel cell system and method for monitoring a gas tank system.'
Inventor(s) include Kuhnert, Christian; Lenz, Birgit; Kieferle, Stefan; Strasser, Markus; Wussler, Nicolas; Schwab, Martin; Sommer, Dorothee; and Schugger, Christian.
The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method for monitoring a gas system comprises determining a fuel mass-flow-rate requirement of a consumer system (e.g. a fuel cell system comprising a fuel cell assembly), closing a first valve device in order to interrupt a gas feed from a tank into a high-pressure pipe system connecting the tank to the consumer system, capturing a pressure curve in the high-pressure pipe system while the first valve device is closed, in particular by means of a pressure sensor, determining a theoretical actual mass flow rate in the high-pressure pipe system on the basis of the captured pressure curve, comparing the theoretical actual mass flow rate in the high-pressure pipe system with the determined fuel mass-flow-rate requirement of the consumer system, and generating an error signal by means of a control device if the theoretical actual mass flow rate deviates from the fuel mass-flow-rate requirement by more than a threshold value."
The patent application was internationally filed on Oct. 16, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/078662.
