In a successful cold start, product water from electrochemical reaction in the cathode must be removed from the cell before it turns into ice and causing voltage drop and shutdown also leads to permanent damage to fuel cell components. Successful single PEM fuel cell start up was achieved from temperature as low as -30°C. Some researchers found that cold start of a 30 W stack from -20°C was possible only with aid of external energy. Successful self start up a 2 kW stack from temperature -5°C was reported but the time taken was unacceptably long and attempts to start up the stack at lower temperatures were failed. Based on the current state of research, further research is necessary to fully understand the operation and mechanism of PEM fuel cell cold start. 2014-04-08T07:40:01Z 2014-04-08T07:40:01Z 2013 Article Applied Mechanics and Materials vol. 315, 2013, pages 851-855 1660-9336 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/33533 http://www.scientific.net/AMM.315.851 http://www.scientific.net/AMM.315.851 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.315.851 en Trans Tech Publications
