Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for cooling a hydrogen fuel cell assembly. A vehicle system, in one example, includes a hydrogen fuel cell assembly electrically coupled to a traction motor, positioned behind a cab, and including a plurality of hydrogen storage tanks and hydrogen fuel cells. The vehicle system further includes a fuel cell cooling assembly including an inlet manifold in a deflector, where the deflector is fixedly coupled to and positioned vertically above the cab and designed to direct airflow to a fan array that is coupled to a fuel cell assembly heat exchanger, where the fan array is positioned behind inlet manifold and longitudinally offset therefrom.
