Abstract

A cooling circuit for a fuel cell includes at least one channel, a mechanical support, a first sensor, and a second sensor. Each channel is formed in a bipolar plate of the fuel cell, and is adapted to permit a cooling fluid to flow. The first sensor senses a flow rate of the cooling fluid. The second sensor senses an electrical conductivity of the cooling fluid. Both the first sensor and the second sensor are installed on the mechanical support.
