Volvo's contribution is to offer leading transport andinfrastructure solutions enabling societies to prosper in a sustainable way.Hydrogen based Fuel cell technology offers a sustainable solution for the off-roadsegment, but it comes with its own share of challenges.
A proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) convertshydrogen and oxygen into electricity from an electrochemical reaction,resulting in water as a by-product. Efficient management of the produced water(liquid form) is crucial in high power off-road machines as discharging it inworksites can be cumbersome.
Description of thesis work:
The target of the thesis is to prove aworking concept of a by-product water management solution for fuel cells,conceptually and practically. The proof of concept of the solution can beconcluded with the implementation of the concept on a demonstration vehicle.
Details:
• Get familiar with fuel cell technology andunderstand the water production conditions.
• Perform a literature study on available watermanagement solutions.
• Develop simulation model to understand exhaustcharacteristics.
• Understand the needs and challenges of implementinga solution for off-road machines.
• Propose and develop a novel solution or adaptexisting solutions for off-road machines.
• Analyse the possibilities to use the steam/waterfor other purposes at machine and site level.
