Below with detailed reference example, the example of embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein same in the text Reference numeral is represented components identical.Below explanation embodiment is so that pass through with reference to description of drawings the present invention.
Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram of demonstration according to the structure of the fuel cell system of the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 2, according to the fuel cell system 10 of the first embodiment of the present invention comprise fuel processor 20, the battery pile 30 that produces electric power of carrying out reforming reaction, circulation heating circuit 71 between the coldplate 36 of the coolant reservoir 40, the heat exchanger 24 that is arranged on fuel processor 20 and the battery pile 30 that store cooling fluid and will arrive the coldplate fluid passage 72 of coldplate 36 by the hot water supply of heat exchanger 24 heating.
Fuel processor 20 converts CH base fuel 50 to mainly comprise hydrogen reformed gas by reforming reaction.Fuel processor 20 comprises burner 22, reformer 23, shift-converter 26, blender 27 and CO remover 29.
Burner 22 produces heat by the CH base fuel 50 of burning such as LNG, LPG or kerosene.The heat that is produced by burner 22 is fed into reformer 23 to promote reforming reaction.
Reformer 23 is heated to carry out reforming reaction by burner 22.When fuel cell system 10 initial operations, air and fuel 50 are supplied to burner 22 with ignition combustion device 22.The burner 22 heated reformate devices of lighting 23, the operation that makes the temperature of reformer 23 reach 300 ℃ begins temperature.In the case, for operating burner 22 with heated reformate device 23, except the valve of necessity, close great majority and be installed in valve in the fuel cell system 10.Therefore, the heat that is produced by burner 22 can be used for heated reformate device 23 fully.Begin if first operation (showing with dotted line) of initial operation begins temperature in the operation of reformer 23, then first valve 91 is opened, and makes (DI) water 64 that removes deionization by heat exchanger 24.DI water 64 is heated in by heat exchanger 24, and supplies to the coldplate 36 of battery pile 30 then by coldplate fluid passage 72, thus heating battery heap 30.Simultaneously, burner 22 continuous heated reformate devices 23 make the temperature of reformer 23 reach 500 ℃ operating limit temperature.Reformer 23 can show optimal performance in the temperature range between operating limit temperature and the operation beginning temperature.For reformer 23 is remained in the Optimal Temperature scope, if the temperature of reformer 23 surpasses the operating limit temperature, then the 4th valve 94 is opened so that water 64 is supplied to reformer 23.If the 4th valve 94 is opened, the water 64 that then has normal temperature is fed into reformer 23, the feasible increase that can limit the temperature of reformer 23.The water that supplies to reformer 23 by the 4th valve 94 converts the steam with high temperature to by the heat that absorbs from reformer 23.High-temperature steam is supplied to the temperature of shift-converter 26 with increase shift-converter 26, and then described high-temperature steam is discharged to the outside.For the temperature that keeps reformer 23 in predetermined scope, during the initial operation of fuel cell system 10, opening/closing the 4th valve 94 continually under the control of controller (not shown).
Shift-converter 26 receives the gas that mainly comprises hydrogen, and reduces the ratio of components that is included in the CO in the gas.Can comprise about 75% hydrogen, about 15% CO from reformer 23 gas supplied 2And about 5% CO.In shift-converter 26, carry out following reaction.
Figure A20091013319400121
If the temperature of shift-converter 26 then activates forward reaction in normal opereating specification, therefore, the content of CO reduces to about 0.5%.For normal running, shift-converter 26 because the hot accessory substance of the steam that high temperature reformer 23 produces receives heat, makes shift-converter 26 is heated to 100 ℃ that this temperature is the preset temperature of shift-converter 26 for 100 ℃ from comprising.If the temperature of shift-converter 26 is higher than the preset temperature of shift-converter 26, then water 64 and the fuel 50 handled by devulcanizer 62 are supplied to reformer 23 to carry out reforming reaction in reformer 23.When carrying out reforming reaction in reformer 23, the gas that is produced by reformer 23 supplies to shift-converter 26.Simultaneously, if even gas is produced by reformer 23 by reforming reaction, the temperature of battery pile 30 does not reach the proper handling temperature of battery pile 30 yet, then the 6th valve 96 open with by will be gas by shift-converter 26 supply to burner 22 and carry out second operation (representing) with chain-dotted line.The gas that produces in second operating period can comprise enough hydrogen, the temperature of shift-converter 26 is higher than the preset temperature of shift-converter 26 in this second operation, therefore, if gas supplies to burner 22, then can be used for the combustion reaction of heated reformate device 23.Because gas supplies to burner 22 from shift-converter 26 in second operation, therefore can reduce the amount of the fuel 50 that supplies to burner 22, or stop fuel 50 is supplied to burner 22, thereby save fuel 50.Simultaneously, if the temperature of shift-converter 26 is higher than the preset temperature of shift-converter 26, and the temperature of battery pile 30 surpasses the proper handling temperature of battery pile 30, and then the 6th valve 96 cuts out and operate normally by supplying gas to blender 27 (showing with solid line).
When operating normally, blender 27 receives the gas that is produced by shift-converter 26.According to the control signal of controller (not shown), blender 27 will be mixed with extraneous air 66 by shift-converter 26 gas supplied.When battery pile 30 was the low temperature type, the gas that mixes in blender 27 was fed into CO remover 29.
CO remover 29 reduces the amount of CO by preferential oxidation reaction, makes the amount of CO in allowed band.In CO remover 29, carry out following reaction.
Figure A20091013319400131
If carry out forward reaction in CO remover 29, then CO converts CO to 2, this means that the content of CO reduces.When CO passed through CO remover 29, the content of CO reduced to and is lower than 10ppm (PPM).If battery pile 30 is the low temperature type, then need CO remover 29, if but battery pile 30 is the high temperature type with durability of opposing CO, then can omit CO remover 29.The reformed gas of discharging from CO remover 29 supplies to battery pile 30.
Battery pile 30 makes carries out electrochemical reaction to reformed gas, thereby produces electric energy and heat energy.Battery pile 30 is carried out oxidation and reduction reaction, and is prepared from by piling up a plurality of single battery (not shown)s that can produce electric power.Though Fig. 2 has schematically shown anode 32, negative electrode 34 and coldplate for simplicity, anode 32 and negative electrode 34 are arranged on around the electrolyte layer (not shown) in the single battery, and coldplate 36 inserts between the single batteries.In addition, end plate 38 is arranged on the left side and the office, right side of battery pile 30.
Electric power is produced by anode 32 and negative electrode 34 by the oxidation and the reduction reaction of hydrogen.That is to say that anode 32 resolves into hydrogen ion and electronics by utilizing catalyst with hydrogen, thereby produce electric power, and negative electrode 34 makes hydrogen ion combine with electronics, thereby produce water.
Coldplate 36 is inserted between anode 32 and the negative electrode 34 to control the temperature of battery pile 30.That is to say that in first and second operating periods of initial operation, heat passes to coldplate 36 from the thermal medium of circulation heating circuit 71 and coldplate fluid passage 72, thus the temperature of rising battery pile 30.In addition, during normal running, the 9th valve and the tenth valve 99 and 100 that are installed in the coolant channels 73 frequently open and close under the control of controller, thereby keep the temperature of battery pile 30 consistently.
End plate 38 is arranged on the left side of battery pile 30 and the outermost part of right side part.End plate 38 forms porose, so that allow reformed gas by described hole when reformed gas is introduced in the battery pile 30.In addition, various types of hold-down screw (not shown)s can be screwed into end plate 38, so that fixed cell battery (not shown).End plate 38 support cells are piled 30 weight and are kept the structure of battery pile 30.For this reason, end plate 38 is made by the rigid metal such as duralumin.
Circulation heating circuit 71 is meant the circulatory system between the coldplate 36 that is arranged on heat exchanger 24 and battery pile 30.When fuel cell system 10 initial operations, because the thermal siphon phenomenon, water circulates by circulation heating circuit 71 naturally, thereby effectively and apace heats coldplate 36.Because the thermal siphon phenomenon is recycled water naturally, therefore need make and reduce energy consumption, and can prevent because the cost that attachment device causes increases such as the energy consumption circulating device of pump.The thermal siphon phenomenon is meant the two phase flow of the location that is subjected to gravity.Particularly, be filled in the circulation heating circuit 71, and liquid phase water absorbs the heat of supplying with as the burner 22 and the reformer 23 of heating unit by at heat exchanger 24 places, make liquid phase water convert to have the vapour phase water vapour of high temperature as the water of thermal medium.Along with liquid phase water converts the vapour phase water vapour to, the volumetric expansion of thermal medium and its density reduce.The vapour phase water vapour is transferred to the coldplate 36 that relatively is positioned the position higher than heat exchanger 24 by circulation heating circuit 71.Coldplate 36 is as condenser.By carrying out heat exchange with battery pile 30, the vapour phase water vapour with high temperature converts liquid phase water in by coldplate 36, makes volume reduce and the density increase.Have increase density liquid phase water since force of gravity to the heat exchanger 24 that is arranged on relatively low position.Liquid phase water passes by heating and cooling repeatedly and changes the vapour phase water vapour into, or vice versa, makes thermal medium not need forced circulation device by circulation heating circuit 71 natural circulation, thus heating battery heap 30.The 5th valve 95 is arranged in the circulation heating circuit 71.The 5th valve 95 is opened when second operation of carrying out fuel cell system 10.The circulation of the thermal medium that is caused by the thermal siphon phenomenon mainly appeared at for second operating period, and during this period, heat exchanger 24 is fully heated.When the temperature of battery pile 30 surpasses the proper handling temperature of battery pile 30, close the 5th valve 95.In the case, can stop the circulation of thermal medium by circulation heating circuit 71.
Coldplate fluid passage 72 will arrive coldplate 36 by the hot water supply of heat exchanger 24 heating.When the first operation beginning, open first valve 91 and second valve 92 that are arranged in the coldplate fluid passage 72.Water 64 with normal temperature supplies to heat exchanger 24 by first valve 91.In heat exchanger 24, the heat that water 64 absorbs from burner 22 and reformer 23 makes the temperature of water 64 increase.Then, water 64 supplies to coldplate 36 by second valve 92, makes heat pass to battery pile 30 from coldplate 36, thereby improves the temperature of battery pile 30.Simultaneously, before the water 64 with high temperature supplied to coldplate 36, the water that is stored in the coldplate 36 of battery pile 30 can be discharged in advance by the 3rd valve 93.If the water that is stored in the coldplate 36 of battery pile 30 is discharged in advance, then can reduce the thermal capacity of battery pile 30, make the heat energy of the hot water supply to battery pile 30 can be used to fully the to raise temperature of battery pile 30, thereby the temperature of battery pile 30 can raise fast.In addition, be elevated on the reference levels, also can discharge the water that is stored in the coldplate 36 even be present in the ionic conductivity of the water in the coldplate 36.In addition, even reached the temperature of the battery pile 30 that also raises continuously under the situation of target limit level for the water level in coldplate 36, new water can supply to coldplate 36 by controlling first to the 3rd valve 91,92 and 93 when discharge is stored in hot water in the coldplate 36.
Hereinafter, be presented at control method among Fig. 2 with reference to Fig. 3 A and 3B explanation according to the fuel cell system 10 of the first embodiment of the present invention.
When initial operation of fuel cells system 10, each parts of fuel cell system 10 are not producing by electrochemical reaction in the normal temperature range of electric energy, so by closing the various valve initialization fuel cell systems 10 (S10) that are installed in the fuel cell system 10, and operating burner 22 is with heated reformate device 23 (S20).
Then, whether the temperature of determining reformer 23 reaches 300 ℃ operation and begins temperature (S30).
If the temperature of reformer 23 surpasses operation beginning temperature, first and second valves 91 and 92 that then are arranged in the coldplate fluid passage 72 are opened, so that thermal medium (hot water) is supplied to coldplate 36 (S40).At this moment, before hot water supplied to coldplate 36 by first and second valves 91 and 92, the water that before had been stored in the coldplate 36 can be discharged by opening the 3rd valve 93.In addition, hot water can be discharged to the outside by coldplate 36 in new hot water supply in coldplate 36.That is to say, even reached the temperature of the battery pile 30 that also raises continuously under the situation of target limit level for the water level in coldplate 36, can when hot water in the coldplate 36 is discharged coldplate 36 be arrived in new hot water supply will before being stored in by controlling first to the 3rd valve 91,92 and 93.Because hot water supplies to coldplate 36 by coldplate fluid passage 72, the temperature of coldplate 36 raises, and makes the temperature of battery pile 30 also raise.
Because therefore burner 22 continuous heated reformate devices 23 determine whether the temperature of reformer 23 has reached 500 ℃ operating limit temperature (S50).
If the temperature of reformer 23 surpasses the operating limit temperature, then be used for that by control setting water 64 is supplied to the temperature (S60) that the 4th valve 94 of the fluid passage of reformer 23 is regulated reformers 23.When the water 64 with normal temperature supplied to reformer 23, the temperature of reformer 23 reduced.If stop water 64 is supplied to reformer 23, then since the temperature of the heat reformer 23 that burner 22 produces raise once more.
Then, the amount that is stored in the water in the coldplate 36 is compared with the target limit value of this coldplate (S70).
Surpass the target limit value if be stored in the amount of the water in the coldplate 36, then close first valve 91, so that keep being stored in the amount (S80) of the water in the coldplate 36 consistently.As mentioned above, even the water level in the coldplate 36 has reached the target limit value, also can in the hot water discharge that will before be stored in the coldplate 36, coldplate 36 be arrived in new hot water supply, so that the temperature of the battery pile 30 that raises continuously by controlling first to the 3rd valve 91,92 and 93.
Then, determine whether the temperature of shift-converter 26 is higher than the preset temperature of shift-converter 26 (S90).Because reformer 23 is directly by burner 22 heating, so the temperature of reformer 23 raises with high relatively speed.On the contrary, shift-converter 26 is by the heat that produced by reformer 23 or by the steam indirect of reformer 23 heating, makes the temperature of shift-converter 26 be lower than the temperature of reformer 23 and raises with low relatively speed.Owing to compare with the temperature of reformer 23, the temperature of shift-converter 26 raises with low relatively speed, so even the temperature of reformer 23 has been reached for 500 ℃ operating limit temperature of high relatively temperature, the temperature of shift-converter 26 may also not be reached for 100 ℃ preset temperature of low relatively temperature yet.
If the temperature of shift-converter 26 is higher than the preset temperature of shift-converter 26, then fuel cell system 10 is through second operation of initial operation.That is to say whether the temperature of determining battery pile 30 reaches the proper handling temperature (S100) that makes the battery pile 30 that battery pile 30 can normal running.The proper handling temperature of battery pile 30 can be according to the type (that is, high temperature type and low temperature type) of battery pile 30 and is changed.
If the temperature of battery pile 30 is lower than the proper handling temperature of battery pile 30, then first valve 91 cuts out, and the 5th valve 95 is opened.As mentioned above, the 5th valve 95 is arranged on (S110) in the circulation heating circuit 71.Though first operating period the 5th valve 95 can open, the internal temperature of circulation heating circuit 71 may be not enough to the activation heat siphonage.Yet if the temperature of shift-converter 26 surpasses the preset temperature of the shift-converter 26 that is suitable for second operation, the internal temperature of the heating circuit 71 that circulates can be elevated to more than the boiling point of the water that is suitable for the activation heat siphonage.Therefore, if the temperature of battery pile 30 is lower than the proper handling temperature of battery pile 30, then the 5th valve 95 is opened with the activation heat siphonage, thus heating battery heap 30.Because the thermal siphon phenomenon, heat can pass to battery pile 30 by free convection according to the temperature difference and need not to use extra pressurizing unit such as pump, makes the temperature of battery pile 30 effectively and apace to raise.In order to promote free convection, forced circulation device can be increased in the fuel cell system 10.In the case, compare, can reduce the size and the energy consumption of forced circulation device with the situation of not using the thermal siphon phenomenon.
After opening the 5th valve 95, fuel 50 supplies to reformer 23, and the temperature of reformer 23 is regulated (S120) by controlling the 5th valve 95.Fuel 50 desulfurization in by devulcanizer 62 also then is fed into reformer 23.In addition, water 64 supplies to reformer 23 by the 4th valve 94.If the fuel 50 of water 64 and desulfurization supplies to reformer 23, then when producing gas, in reformer 23, carry out reforming reaction.The gas that produces by reforming reaction is fed into shift-converter 26 by passing heat exchanger 24.At this moment, because the temperature of shift-converter 26 surpasses the preset temperature that is suitable for removing CO, therefore the gas by shift-converter 26 can have the CO that is lower than predeterminated level.
When producing gas by shift-converter 26, the 6th valve 96 is opened to supply gas to burner 22 (S130).At this moment, because the temperature of battery pile 30 is lower than the proper handling temperature of battery pile 30, so battery pile 30 may not suitably be operated.Therefore, the gas that is produced by shift-converter 26 does not supply to battery pile 30, but supplies to burner 22.Because the gas that is produced by shift-converter 26 supplies to burner 22, therefore can reduce the amount of fuel 50, perhaps can stop the supply of fuel 50, make fuel cell system 10 to manage economically.
If the temperature of battery pile 30 is lower than the proper handling temperature of battery pile 30, then fuel cell system 10 experience normal runnings.
The normal running of fuel cell system 10 can be by closing the 4th to the 6th valve 94,95 and 96 beginnings (S140).If the 5th valve 95 cuts out, then stop the fluid that in circulation heating circuit 71, flows, make the thermal siphon phenomenon to stop.Therefore, heat can not pass to battery pile 30 by circulation heating circuit 71.If the 4th valve 94 cuts out, then stop water 64 is directly supplied to reformer 23.Close owing to allow to have the 4th valve 94 that the water 64 of normal temperature directly supplies to reformer 23, so even have the water 64 of normal temperature and have between the reformer 23 of high temperature and have temperature difference, reformer 23 can not stand unexpected variations in temperature yet.If the 6th valve 96 cuts out, then produce gas and do not supply to burner 22 by shift-converter 26.
After closing the 4th to the 6th valve 94,95 and 96, second valve 92 cuts out, and the first, the 7th and the 8th valve 91,97 and 98 is opened (S150), so that reformed gas is supplied to battery pile.If first valve 91 is opened, then raise in temperature by water 64 in the heat exchanger 24.The 7th valve 97 is arranged on the fluid passage that the water 64 that is used for having the temperature of rising supplies to reformer 23.Because the first and the 7th valve 91 and 97 has been opened under the closing state at the second and the 4th valve 92 and 94, so reformer 23 receives heated water 64 rather than receives the water with normal temperature, the feasible unexpected variations in temperature that reformer 23 can not occur.If the 8th valve 98 is opened, then will be reformed gas by CO remover 29 supply to battery pile 30.The gas that is produced by shift-converter 26 mixes with extraneous air 66, makes mist supply to CO remover 29.When battery pile 30 is the low temperature type, need CO remover 29.
If reformed gas is supplied with by the 8th valve 98, then battery pile 30 operations (S160).
When battery pile 30 operations, the 9th and the tenth valve 99 and 100 control signals according to controller open and close, and remain on (S170) in the suitable scope with the temperature with battery pile 30.The the 9th and the tenth valve 99 and 100 is arranged in the coolant channels 73.In addition, battery pile 30 produces electric energy, and is attended by a large amount of heats.Therefore, if distribute heat effectively, then battery pile 30 can not normally be operated.For this reason, cooling fluid is supplied to coldplate 36 by the coolant channels 73 that is communicated with coolant reservoir 40, with the temperature of regulating cell heap 30.As mentioned above, the 9th and the tenth valve 99 and 100 is arranged in the coolant channels 73 to regulate the amount of cooling fluid, makes battery pile 30 to operate in suitable temperature range.
