Fuel cartridge fill level sensing |
abstract |
A fuel supply 1 for a fuel cell (33, fig 3) comprises a reaction chamber 2 configured to generate fluid fuel from a fuel source 10. A temperature sensor 8 is configured to detect a thermal profile of the reaction chamber 2 and to determine a remaining fuel capacity of the fuel supply 1 from the thermal profile. The fuel supply 1 may include a second reactant and/or catalytic material 11 which interacts with the fuel source 10 to produce the fuel, e.g. hydrogen. The thermal profile may be a spatial thermal profile of the reaction chamber 2 which is indicative of a location of a reaction within the reaction chamber that varies as a function of fuel source 10 remaining unspent. A fill level of the cartridge may therefore be ascertained without requiring pressure sensing or flow sensing within the cartridge. Further aspects relate to a fuel consuming device in which the amount of remaining fuel is determined from the measurement of the temperature sensor 8, and a related method, and also a reactor and method in which the temperature sensor 8 measures an endothermic or exothermic reaction taking place within the reactor, in order to determine the amount of reactant remaining. |
