Compared with prior art, the present invention has following beneficial effect:
1, directly utilize the aqueous water in the fuel cell pile discharge tail gas gas that gets into fuel cell pile to be carried out humidification through spray head; Simplified the auxiliary system of fuel cell pile; Reduce system energy consumption, further improved fuel cell system operating efficiency and stability.
2, in the humidifier vacuum heat-pipe is set, utilizes fuel cell pile discharge tail gas heat that the gas that gets into fuel cell pile is heated through heat exchange; Reduction through exhaust temperature simultaneously makes the moisture in the tail gas further liquefy, and makes to getting into the fuel cell pile Humidifying of gas more fully, effectively.
3, through aqua storage tank is set, it is more thorough to make in the fuel cell pile discharge tail gas that steam separates, better guarantee the humidification effect of system of the present invention.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment, the present invention is further specified.Should be understood that following examples only are used to the present invention is described but not are used to limit scope of the present invention.
Embodiment
Like Fig. 1, shown in Figure 2, the humidification air supply system of fuel cell comprises blower fan 1, also comprises humidifier 2, water pump 3, humiture probe 4 and the controller 5 that links to each other with said blower fan 1, water pump 3, humiture probe 4; Be provided with dividing plate 6 in the said humidifier 2 and be divided into the upper and lower part that does not communicate, said humidifier 2 tops constitute air inlet passage 7, one sides and said blower fan 1 and are connected through pipeline, and opposite side is connected with the air inlet pipeline of fuel cell pile 9; The bottom of said humidifier 2 constitutes exhaust emissions passage 8, one sides and is connected the direct emptying of opposite side with the gas outlet of fuel cell pile 9 through pipeline; Said humiture probe 4 is arranged on said humidifier 2 tops and the pipeline that the air inlet of fuel cell pile 9 is connected; The import of said water pump 3 links to each other with the exhaust emissions passage 8 that the bottom of said humidifier 2 constitutes; The outlet of said water pump 3 connects with the humidification pipeline 11 of air inlet passage 7 tops that are arranged on said humidifier 2 tops formation, and said humidification pipeline 11 is provided with spray head 12 towards humidifier 2 internal direction.During system works, the aqueous water in the tail gas in the exhaust emissions passage 8 is pumped to humidification pipeline 11, and passed through spray head 12 atomizing sprays, give the gas humidification that gets into fuel cell pile 9 to air inlet passage 7 through water pump 3.Simplifying humidification system, having reduced system energy consumption, realized effective recovery of moisture in the fuel cell pile tail gas when further having improved the fuel cell system operating efficiency.
In the present embodiment, temperature, humidity that controller 5 gets into the gas of fuel cell pile 9 through 4 detections of humiture probe when temperature, humidity are lower than the lower limit of setting, are opened water pump 3 and are extracted aqueous waters; When temperature, humidity were higher than the higher limit of setting, water pump 3 stopped pumping.Humiture probe 4 adopts the SHT75 digital temperature-humidity sensor; This Temperature Humidity Sensor possesses high accuracy and response time (moisture measurement precision: ± 1.8%RH rapidly; Temperature measurement accuracy: ± 0.3 ℃; Response time: 8s, low-power consumption (typ. 30 μ W)), thus the stability of system of the present invention ensured.
As shown in Figure 2; Said humidifier 2 also is provided with vertical vacuum heat-pipe 13 arranged side by side, utilizes fuel cell pile 9 discharge tail gas heats that the gas that gets into fuel cell pile 9 part of atomizing of heating in the atomized water that makes spray head 12 ejections is not fully further vaporized through heat exchange; The reduction of exhaust temperature simultaneously makes the moisture in the tail gas further liquefy, and produces more aqueous water, makes to getting into fuel cell pile 9 Humidifying of gas more fully, effectively.In addition; The heat that uses comes from the heat that fuel cell pack 9 is discharged because the gas of 13 pairs of entering of vacuum heat-pipe fuel cell pile 9 is heated; The temperature that assurance is heated is lower than the exhaust temperature that this fuel cell pack 9 is discharged; Thereby it is too high can not occur heating, and has ensured the fail safe of system works of the present invention.
In the present embodiment, the below of the exhaust emissions passage 8 that constitutes of said humidifier 2 bottoms is provided with aqua storage tank 14.Through the aqueous water that aqua storage tank 14 is collected in the exhaust emissions passage 8 is set; Make that steam separates more thorough in the fuel cell pile discharge tail gas; Further make water pump 3 pump to the aqueous water of humidification pipeline 11 and can not mix steam and other impurity; Better guarantee the spray effect, thereby better guarantee the humidification effect of system of the present invention.
In the present embodiment, be provided with filter 10 before the import of said blower fan 1, filter out the impurity such as dust in the gas, make the gas purity that reacts that gets into fuel cell pile 9 improve, thereby ensured the operating efficiency of fuel cell pile.
