Description
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to fuel cell systems, and particularly to an auxiliary fuel cell system.
Background
A fuel cell is a device capable of directly converting chemical energy stored in fuel into electric energy through an electrochemical reaction. As long as fuel (typically hydrogen) and oxidant (typically air) are continuously supplied on the anode side and the cathode side, it can continuously output electric energy to the outside through oxidation-reduction reaction. Unlike a typical rechargeable battery (e.g., a lithium battery), a single fuel cell or fuel cell stack unit is inoperable, and requires a complex auxiliary system to cooperate with it to form a fuel cell power generation system to generate electricity externally. Besides the fuel cell stack, a hydrogen system, an air system, a cooling system, a control system for assisting in multiparty coordination and the like are also generally included, and main components include an air compressor, a cooling water pump, a hydrogen circulating pump and the like.
The hydrogen system is one of the important subsystems of the fuel cell power generation system, and provides the required hydrogen with a certain pressure and flow rate for the fuel cell power generation. In order to ensure that hydrogen is uniformly distributed on the anode side of the electric pile, the phenomenon of undergassing of the fuel cell in the power generation process is prevented, the service life of the electric pile is influenced, and a hydrogen supply subsystem generally transmits more fuel than stoichiometric ratio into the electric pile to participate in the reaction. In order to improve the utilization rate of hydrogen and the operation safety of a cell stack, the residual hydrogen in the reaction is not directly discharged into the atmosphere, but the unreacted hydrogen in a hydrogen loop is directly pumped back to an anode side inlet from an anode side outlet of the fuel cell stack by using a hydrogen circulating pump, and the unreacted hydrogen is merged with the freshly injected reaction gas at the inlet and then enters the fuel cell to participate in the reaction again.
The cooling system is another important system of the fuel cell, the efficiency of the fuel cell is generally about 50%, the fuel cell cannot conduct and radiate outwards like an automobile engine, the sensitivity of the proton exchange membrane to temperature is added, the heat rejection temperature of the battery is low, the heat rejection requirement is about 2-3 times of that of the automobile engine, and the heat rejection requirement is very high. A larger flow rate of the cooling system is required. In addition, in order to balance the pressure balance of the hydrogen, the air and the cooling liquid, the cooling water pump in the cooling system has a larger pressure requirement.
The air system needs to ensure that the oxygen content in the air of the fuel cell stack is sufficient to support the oxyhydrogen reaction, and in order to obtain higher power energy density and better performance, the air supply pressure (i.e. the partial pressure of oxygen) of the air must be increased, so that the increase of the air supply pressure of the fuel cell can also reduce the size of the system, improve the efficiency of the cell stack and improve the water balance. In a proton exchange membrane fuel cell system for a vehicle, the typical operating pressure range of the system is 1-3 bar, and the flow rate range is 100-300 kg/h, which is realized by a high-efficiency air compressor.
The air compressor, the cooling water pump and the hydrogen circulating pump in the existing fuel cell system are all driven by independent motors and controllers, a plurality of sets of motors are used for driving, the system is complex, the cost is high, the space arrangement of the whole vehicle is not facilitated, and the system efficiency is low.
