Title: Cortney R Kreller: Innovator in Hydrogen Fuel Quality Analysis
Introduction
Cortney R Kreller is a notable inventor based in Los Alamos, NM (US). She has made significant contributions to the field of fuel quality analysis, particularly in the development of innovative technologies for hydrogen fuel.
Latest Patents
Kreller holds a patent for a "Hydrogen fuel quality analyzer with self-humidifying electrochemical cell and methods of testing fuel quality." This invention is designed to detect contaminants in a fuel supply. The analyzer includes an anode flow field plate that defines a first fuel flow field channel and a fuel inlet port. It also features a cathode flow field plate that defines a second fuel flow field channel and a fuel outlet port. A polymer electrolyte membrane is situated between the anode and cathode flow field plates. The invention incorporates a first electrode between the anode flow field plate and the polymer electrolyte membrane, and a second electrode between the cathode flow field plate and the polymer electrolyte membrane. Notably, the second electrode has a higher platinum loading than the first electrode. The design includes a reservoir volume defined by the anode and cathode flow field plates, which retains water to humidify the polymer electrolyte membrane.
