Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to fuel cell pack, relate in particular to the fuel cell pack of a kind of suitable batch process and assembling.
Background technology
Electrochemical fuel cell is a kind of device that hydrogen fuel and oxidant can be changed into electric energy and product.The internal core parts of this device are membrane electrode (Membrane Electrode Assembly are called for short MEA), and membrane electrode (MEA) is made up of as carbon paper a proton exchange membrane, two porous conductive materials of film two sides folder.The catalyst that contains the initiation electrochemical reaction of even tiny dispersion on two boundary faces of film and carbon paper is as the metal platinum catalyst.The electronics that the membrane electrode both sides can will take place to generate in the electrochemical reaction process with conductive body is drawn by external circuit, constitutes current circuit.
At the anode tap of membrane electrode, fuel can pass porousness diffusion material (carbon paper) by infiltration, and electrochemical reaction takes place on catalyst surface, lose electronics, form cation, cation can pass proton exchange membrane by migration, arrives the other end cathode terminal of membrane electrode.At the cathode terminal of membrane electrode, contain the gas of oxidant (as oxygen), as air, pass porousness diffusion material (carbon paper), and the generation electrochemical reaction obtains electronics on catalyst surface, forms anion by infiltration.The cation of coming in the anion and the anode tap migration of cathode terminal formation reacts, and forms product.
Adopting hydrogen is fuel, and the air that contains oxygen is in the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells of oxidant (or pure oxygen is an oxidant), and fuel hydrogen has just produced hydrogen cation (or being proton) in the catalytic electrochemical reaction of anode region.Proton exchange membrane helps the hydrogen cation to move to the cathodic region from the anode region.In addition, proton exchange membrane is separated the air-flow and the oxygen containing air-flow of hydrogen fuel, they can not mixed mutually and produces explosion type reaction.
In the cathodic region, oxygen obtains electronics on catalyst surface, forms anion, and moves the hydrogen cation reaction of coming, reaction of formation product water with the anode region.In the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells that adopts hydrogen, air (oxygen), anode reaction and cathode reaction can be expressed in order to following equation:
Anode reaction: H
2→ 2H
++ 2e
Cathode reaction: 1/2O
2+ 2H
++ 2e → H
2O
In typical Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, membrane electrode (MEA) generally all is placed in the middle of the pole plate of two conductions, and quarter is milled by die casting, punching press or machinery in the surface that every block of flow guiding electrode plate contacts with membrane electrode, and formation is the guiding gutter of one or more at least.These flow guiding electrode plates can be the pole plates of metal material, also can be the pole plates of graphite material.Water conservancy diversion duct on these flow guiding electrode plates and guiding gutter import fuel and oxidant the anode region and the cathodic region on membrane electrode both sides respectively.In the structure of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells monocell, only there is a membrane electrode, the membrane electrode both sides are respectively the guide plate of anode fuel and the guide plate of cathode oxidant.These guide plates are both as the current collector motherboard, also as the mechanical support on membrane electrode both sides, guiding gutter on the guide plate acts as a fuel again and enters the passage of anode, cathode surface with oxidant, and as the passage of taking away the water that generates in the fuel cell operation process.
In order to increase the gross power of whole Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, two or more monocells can be connected into battery pack or be unified into battery pack by the mode that tiles usually by straight folded mode.In straight folded, in-line battery pack, can there be guiding gutter on the two sides of a pole plate, and wherein one side can be used as the anode guide face of a membrane electrode, and another side can be used as the cathode diversion face of another adjacent membranes electrode, and this pole plate is called bipolar plates.A series of monocell connects together by certain way and forms a battery pack.Battery pack tightens together by upper head plate, bottom plate and pull bar usually and becomes one.
A typical battery stack generally includes: the water conservancy diversion import and the flow-guiding channel of (1) fuel and oxidant gas are distributed to fuel (as hydrogen, methyl alcohol or the hydrogen-rich gas that obtained by methyl alcohol, natural gas, gasoline) and oxidant (mainly being oxygen or air) in the guiding gutter of each anode, cathode plane equably after reforming; (2) import and export and the flow-guiding channel of cooling fluid (as water) are evenly distributed to cooling fluid in each battery pack inner cooling channel, the heat absorption that hydrogen in the fuel cell, the exothermic reaction of oxygen electrochemistry are generated and take battery pack out of after dispel the heat; (3) outlet of fuel and oxidant gas and corresponding flow-guiding channel, fuel gas and oxidant gas are when discharging, and portability goes out the liquid that generates in the fuel cell, the water of steam state.Usually, the import and export of all fuel, oxidant, cooling fluid are all opened on the end plate of fuel battery or on two end plates.
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells can be used as the dynamical system of delivery vehicles such as all cars, ship, can make portable, portable, fixed Blast Furnace Top Gas Recovery Turbine Unit (TRT) again.The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells electricity generation system must comprise fuel cell pack, fuel hydrogen supply, air supply, cooling heat dissipation, various piece such as control and electric energy output automatically.
The key of the extensive commercial application of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells electricity generation system is to realize the large-scale production and the assembling of pem fuel cell stack, and the extensive industrialization of the auxiliary operation various piece of other fuel cell packs is to realize easily with assembling.
Pem fuel cell stack is assembled into a complete fuel cell pack by motherboard, front end-plate, end plate and securing member again by polylith guide plate and the superimposed fuel cell pack of forming of multi-disc " three-in-one " electrode at present.
As U.S.Patent 5,863, the typical fuel-cell single-cell structure of indication in 673, as shown in Figure 1, fuel cell pack is superimposed together by a plurality of this monocells and forms, as shown in Figure 2.
Baffler in the fuel cell pack and electric current motherboard, front and back ends and securing member etc. can dismounting, but wherein the parts of most critical " three-in-one " electrode is an integral body, and these parts are generally suppressed successfully by heat pressing process by the porousness diffusion layer material that proton exchange membrane and two inner layer sheets are worn catalyst.When large-scale fuel cell pack industrialization is produced, must realize the large-scale pipeline production of " three-in-one " electrode.At present, this porousness diffusion layer material of being worn catalyst by proton exchange membrane and two inner layer sheets causes huge difficulty with inconvenient for the production of " three-in-one " electrode large-scale pipeline by the production technology of hot pressing:
(1) streamline production needs the porousness diffusion layer material of coiled material type, and the internal layer surface must scribble catalyst.But the carbon paper material that the porousness diffusion layer material is more crisp often can fracture when forming the coiled material type, particularly coats when forming coiled material behind the catalyst, and catalyst easily drops.
(2) streamline production " three-in-one " electrode, the hot pressing cylinder that accurate control temperature, pressure must be arranged, to guarantee the consistency of performance of each sheet " three-in-one " electrode, temperature, the pressure controlled hot pressing cylinder of high-precision requirement are very difficult and implement so.
