Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a fuel cell power system 10 including a stack 20, a stack heat exchanger 30, a motor 40, and a liquid hydrogen tank 50.

The liquid hydrogen tank 50 includes a liquid hydrogen outlet 501. The liquid hydrogen outlet 501 communicates with the first inlet 402. The first outlet 403 communicates with the coolant inlet 303. The coolant outlet 304 communicates with the hydrogen inlet 201.
In the fuel cell power system 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, liquid hydrogen directly enters the cooling shell 401 as a heat exchange medium, and absorbs heat of the motor 40, so that the temperature of the liquid hydrogen rises, and at the same time, the temperature of the motor 40 decreases, so that the temperature of the motor gradually decreases to below-150 ℃, and the motor enters a superconducting state. The liquid hydrogen enters the stack heat exchanger 30 as a heat exchange medium to absorb heat. The fuel cell power system 10 causes the liquid hydrogen to absorb heat twice. The liquid hydrogen has higher gasification efficiency. Further, the fuel cell power system 10 enables liquid hydrogen to directly participate in heat exchange as a heat exchange medium, and a heat exchanger is not required to be additionally arranged, so that a light weight design is realized.
The fuel cell power system 10 employs the liquid hydrogen tank 50 instead of a gaseous tank, so that the corresponding stored energy per unit mass of the whole system is increased. The hydrogen storage mass density of the system can be increased from 5% to a level of 10% to 15%.
In one embodiment, the motor 40 is used to drive the drone in flight.
In one embodiment, the motor 40 is an ultra-low temperature quasi-superconducting motor. The energy loss of the motor is mainly caused by internal copper loss, iron loss, mechanical loss and stray loss. For working scenes such as unmanned aerial vehicle flight, the motor rotating speed is relatively low, and energy loss mainly takes copper loss as a main factor. The motor works for a long time and the temperature rises. The temperature of the copper winding inside the motor rises and the internal resistance increases. The heat of the motor is lost, and the working efficiency is reduced. The fuel cell power system 10 directly uses liquid hydrogen as a heat exchange medium to cool the motor 40 to a superconducting temperature, so that the internal resistance of a copper winding is reduced, and the working efficiency of the motor 40 is improved.
In one embodiment, the fuel cell power system 10 further includes a first reservoir 310 and a first electronic pump 320. The first liquid storage device 310 is connected between the to-be-cooled liquid outlet 302 and the cold water inlet 203. The first reservoir 310 is used to store water entering the stack 20. The first electronic pump 320 is connected between the first reservoir 310 and the cold water inlet 203. The first electronic pump 320 provides power for the circulating water.
In one embodiment, the fuel cell power system 10 further includes a first pressure relief valve 80. The first pressure reducing valve 80 is disposed between the coolant outlet 304 and the hydrogen inlet 201. The first pressure reducing valve 80 prevents the pressure of the hydrogen gas from being excessively high, ensuring safe operation of the stack 20.
In the prior art, the liquid hydrogen storage tank adopts a double-layer storage tank to store liquid hydrogen so as to meet the heat insulation requirement and ensure the safety.
In one embodiment, the liquid hydrogen tank 50 is a single-layer housing structure. The fuel cell power system 10 is applied to an unmanned aerial vehicle. The liquid hydrogen tank 50 is replenished with liquid hydrogen prior to flight. The liquid hydrogen tank 50 is stored only when flying. When the drone is not flying, the liquid tank 50 does not store liquid hydrogen. Thus, the liquid tank 50 is not used for transportation. And in the flying process of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the liquid hydrogen which is gasified by absorbing heat in the environment is rapidly consumed. Liquid hydrogen tank 50 adopts individual layer shell structure can satisfy the heat dissipation demand, is applicable to this specific scene of unmanned aerial vehicle aircraft.
In one embodiment, the surface of the single-layer shell structure is provided with an insulating layer. The heat-insulating layer reduces heat exchange and slows down liquid hydrogen vaporization.
For the fuel cell power system 10, a feasibility analysis is performed:
in one embodiment, the overall efficiency of the fuel cell power system 10 is 50%, and the system generates 1 kW.h of electrical power, corresponding to 1 kW.h of waste heat.
The waste heat + electric energy consumes 2kW · h in total. Estimated as 33 kW.h electricity per 1kg of hydrogen, an energy of 2 kW.h corresponds to a chemical energy of about 61g of hydrogen.
Liquid hydrogen from the liquid hydrogen tank 50 to the stack 20 application needs to go through two processes, phase transition and temperature rise.
In the phase state transformation process, the phase change heat absorption is 3.93 kW.h/kg. 61g of hydrogen required about 0.240 kW.h of electrical energy.
During the temperature increase, 61g of hydrogen rose from 20K to 293K (20 ℃). The heat capacity of hydrogen was 14.3 kJ/(kg. K). The total energy required for 61g of gaseous hydrogen is 0.066 kW.h of electric energy.
As can be seen, when liquid hydrogen is used, 1 kW.h of external electric energy is supplied, and the total heat absorption capacity of hydrogen gas is about 0.30 kW.h.
For a typical motor + motor control system, the overall efficiency is about 90%. The waste heat generated per 1 kW.h input is about 0.1 kW.h.
Therefore, the fuel cell power system 10 outputs 1kW · h of energy per external pair, the fuel cell system generates 1kW · h of waste heat, the motor system generates 0.1kW · h of waste heat, and the liquid hydrogen system absorbs 0.3kW · h of heat in total. The total heat absorption capacity of the liquid hydrogen can cover the heat generation of the motor system and can also cover part of the heat generation of the fuel cell system.
The energy loss of the motor is mainly caused by internal copper loss, iron loss, mechanical loss and stray loss. For working scenes such as unmanned aerial vehicle flight, the motor rotating speed is relatively low, and energy loss mainly takes copper loss as a main factor. The motor works for a long time and the temperature rises. The temperature of the copper winding inside the motor rises and the internal resistance increases. The heat of the motor is lost, and the working efficiency is reduced. The fuel cell power system 10 cools the motor 40 to a superconducting working environment through liquid hydrogen, so that the internal resistance of a copper winding is reduced, and the working efficiency of the motor 40 is improved.
As soon as the system starts to work, the liquid hydrogen needs to absorb heat from the heat exchange system, while the motor temperature is reduced. The motor is in a superconducting state, and the output efficiency of the motor is improved. The fuel cell power system 10 reduces the heat dissipation burden of a high power system. Further, the fuel cell power system 10 absorbs heat from liquid hydrogen, so that the design requirement of the maximum heat dissipation capacity of heat dissipation parameters is lowered, heat exchange components are reduced, and the weight of the system is reduced.

The low-temperature heat exchange medium firstly passes through the second heat exchanger 730 is used for cooling the circulating water, and then the third heat exchanger 740 is used for cooling the motor 40, so that the motor 40 works efficiently.

The fourth heat exchanger 760 is used to reduce the cooling of the motor controller 410.
In one embodiment, the outlet of the second electronic pump 750 communicates with the inlet of the first heat exchanger 720. The heat exchange medium firstly enters the first heat exchanger 720 to absorb cold energy, and then sequentially enters the second heat exchanger 730, the fourth heat exchanger 760 and the third heat exchanger 740 to absorb heat.
The heat exchange medium absorbs the cold in the first heat exchanger 720. The heat exchange medium transfers heat to the buffer tank 60. The liquid hydrogen in the buffer tank 60 is vaporized by increasing the temperature. The temperature of the heat exchange medium decreases.
The low-temperature heat exchange medium firstly enters the second heat exchanger 730 and is used for cooling water in the electric pile heat exchanger 30. The temperature of the circulating water of the cell stack 20 is lower than the temperature of the motor 40. The low-temperature heat exchange medium firstly enters the second heat exchanger 730, so that the cooling effect on the circulating water of the cell stack 20 is better.
In application, the heat exchange medium may also cool the motor 40 or the motor controller 410 first, and then cool the circulating water of the cell stack 20.
The heat exchange medium may also be the circulating water of the motor 40, the motor controller 410, or the cell stack 20, and the heated heat exchange medium heats the liquid hydrogen.
In the prior art, a double-layer storage tank is adopted in a battery system to store liquid hydrogen so as to meet the requirement of heat insulation and ensure safety.
In one embodiment, the liquid hydrogen tank 50 is a single-layer housing structure.
The fuel cell power system 10 is applied to an unmanned aerial vehicle. The liquid hydrogen tank 50 is replenished with liquid hydrogen prior to flight. The liquid hydrogen tank 50 is stored only when flying. When the drone is not flying, the liquid tank 50 does not store liquid hydrogen. Thus, the liquid tank 50 is not used for transportation. And in the flight process of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the heat absorption of the liquid hydrogen is gradually reduced, and meanwhile, the liquid hydrogen is consumed by the system reaction in time. The liquid hydrogen tank 50 adopts the single-layer shell structure, and can meet the strength requirement.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above-described examples merely represent several embodiments of the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which falls within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
