[0081] All control parameters for the gas path include flow rate, temperature, humidity, and pressure. Here, the flow rate is controlled as mass flow rate (unit: NLPM, 0℃, 101.3kPa). Manifold losses vary at different flow rates. Different humidity levels (at dew point temperature) result in different amounts of water vapor in the gas; as the dew point temperature increases, the partial pressure and content of water vapor also increase, leading to varying manifold losses. Different temperatures affect gas density; at the same mass flow rate, higher temperatures result in larger gas volumes and faster flow rates, which also affects manifold resistance and distribution. At different pressures, the gas volume differs at the same mass flow rate, requiring simultaneous monitoring. The MFC controls the dry gas mass flow rate. After humidification and mixing, the total mass flow rate after mixing with water vapor can be measured using a mass flow meter, or it can be accumulated based on the flow rates of each manifold.

[0082] All control parameters of the water circuit include flow rate, temperature, and pressure. The manifold loss varies at different flow rates. The viscosity coefficient of the antifreeze (50% ethylene glycol and 50% deionized water) passing through the fuel cell stack varies at different temperatures, so analysis and testing are required. In addition to manifold analysis, pressure can also be used for three-chamber balancing.

[0083] All gas lines should be wrapped with heating tape and insulation cotton to prevent condensation.
