Description

Fuel cell tramcar waste heat recovery system based on thermoelectric generation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cell application, and particularly relates to a fuel cell tramcar waste heat recovery system based on thermoelectric generation.
Background
In an urban traffic system, modern tramcars have the characteristics of large transportation capacity, high speed, quasi-point operation, moderate investment and the like, and are rapidly developed in countries around the world, wherein a new stock building company has already built the largest domestic tramcar production base. In recent years, with the rapid development of fuel cells in the automobile field, especially with the successful marketing of the Toyota "Mirai" and Honda "Clarity" fuel cell automobiles, and with the coming production of the Barnade fuel cell production line in China, the cost of the fuel cells will further decrease, the fuel cells have been paid much attention in the rail transportation field, and the fuel cell tramcars are also the advanced generation and research hotspots of the tramcar power supply technology.
Under the fundation of the national science and technology support program (2014 BAG08B 01), after the southwest traffic university successfully develops the first fuel cell electric locomotive in China in 2013, the fuel cell hybrid power 100% low-floor tramcar is developed in the first place in China since 2014. The sample car has been developed successfully at present and passes a series of tests and finally rain tests. The main power supply of the vehicle is two sets of 150kW Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) systems (the electric pile is HD6 of Barnad, canada), and because the working efficiency of the fuel cell is between 40% and 60%, 40% to 60% of energy is dissipated into heat energy, namely, the 300kW fuel cell of the vehicle needs to dissipate heat of about 150kW so as to ensure that the fuel cell operates at a proper temperature. Since the sample car is a 100% low floor tram, all equipment must be placed on the roof, the space is extremely limited, and 150kW of heat must be released in a 1600mm 1900mm 630mm space. As a result, under the existing conditions, 150kW of heat cannot be utilized, and in extreme conditions, the sample car radiator fan itself needs to consume 22kW of power at the maximum, and brings about 100dB or more of noise at the maximum. Therefore, the research on new waste heat recycling technology of fuel cell tramcars is urgent.
A patent "fuel cell tramcar heat comprehensive utilization method and device" (CN 201410193795.2) discloses a fuel cell tramcar heat comprehensive utilization method and device, mainly aiming at the fuel cell-air conditioning system heat comprehensive management. Patent "automobile tail gas pipe temperature difference power generation device" (CN 201220318086.9) discloses a fuel oil type automobile tail gas pipe temperature difference power generation device. At present, no relevant patent in the aspect of waste heat recycling of the fuel cell tramcar based on thermoelectric power generation is seen at home and abroad.
The working temperature of the fuel cell stack is about 65 ℃, the fuel cell stack belongs to low-grade waste heat, the tramcar has no hot water requirement, and the added space is very tight, so the only probably adopted waste heat utilization technology is low-temperature semiconductor thermoelectric power generation. The thermoelectric power generation does not need chemical reaction or fluid medium, has the advantages of no noise, no abrasion, no medium leakage, small volume, light weight, convenient movement, long service life and the like in the power generation process, and has high attention in the recovery of the waste heat of the tail gas of the internal combustion engine and the automobile. Although the waste heat of the fuel cell automobile is difficult to utilize, the fuel cell tramcar adopts the thermoelectric generation and has two advantages: the tramcar has high power level and large total heat production amount, and over 95 percent of waste heat is taken away by cooling circulating water, so that the waste heat is conveniently and intensively utilized; and secondly, the tramcar air conditioning system has waste cold exhaust in summer, and the cold air can be used as a cold source for thermoelectric power generation, so that the cold and hot surfaces can keep larger temperature difference as far as possible (wherein the environment is used as the cold end in three seasons of spring, autumn and winter). Meanwhile, with the development of thermoelectric materials, thermoelectric semiconductor materials with higher figure of merit will gradually emerge. Therefore, the thermoelectric generation is utilized to carry out secondary power generation on the low-grade waste heat of the fuel cell tramcar, the utilization rate of energy can be effectively improved, and the thermoelectric generation has great development potential in the aspect of energy conservation and environmental protection of vehicles.
In the prior art, the two are not combined and utilized through the characteristics of the two, so that the low-grade waste heat of the fuel cell cannot be effectively subjected to secondary power generation, and the utilization rate of energy is extremely low.
