Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of proton exchange membrane fuel cell systems, in particular to a high-efficiency membrane humidifier for a fuel cell.
Background
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) have the advantages of environmental protection, high efficiency, high starting speed, high power density and the like, are one of the main competitors of future traffic power systems, and the fuel cells can obtain good working performance under the condition of proper humidity. Both fuel cell air and hydrogen feed gases need to be humidified to prevent dehydration of the proton exchange membrane from degrading cell performance and operating life, allowing efficient operation of the fuel cell. In many humidification technical routes, wet waste gas put by the membrane humidifier through the PEMFC is recycled for humidifying and heating reactants, and the membrane humidifier becomes a mainstream external humidification technical scheme at present due to the advantages of stable humidification, strong controllability, large humidification amount, no extra power consumption and the like. In particular, membrane humidifiers utilize the principle of membrane diffusion, with dry and wet gas streams flowing in parallel across the membrane, while water vapor and thermal energy are diffused from one side of the membrane to the other. Among them, the water diffusivity depends mainly on the water flow rate (humidity difference convection), membrane pressure difference (diffusion), membrane thickness, fluid temperature characteristics. Under the condition that the performance of the membrane material and the condition of the use environment are the same, the humidifying performance of the membrane humidifier also depends on a humidifying medium flow field structure formed by a membrane tube arrangement structure of a humidifying module, particularly a hollow fiber tubular membrane humidifier, no matter the structure is a cross flow type structure or a counter flow type structure, the arrangement structure of the humidifying membrane tubes has very important influence on the humidifying efficiency.
The humidifying membrane tubes of current humidifying modules are generally placed in several arrangements as shown in fig. 1-3:
wherein, fig. 1 is a random arrangement in the same direction, in this form, because the humidifying membrane tube 20 is soft, the state of the humidifying membrane tube 20 in the humidifying module is curved and in a loose state, the curve increases the flow resistance of the dry gas flow field, and the bending causes the vibration of the humidifying membrane tube 20 due to the coanda effect, thereby causing the increase of the flow resistance and affecting the service life of the humidifying membrane tube 20; the randomness of randomly placing the tube bundle distribution can lead the velocity distribution of the outer flow field of the tube bundle to be seriously deteriorated, the nonuniformity of the flow distribution can lead the randomly arranged tube bundle to cause the heat and mass transfer performance to be obviously reduced, the conjugate boundary of the membrane surface of the humidifying membrane tube 20 has larger deterioration effect, and the corresponding convection heat and mass transfer coefficient is lower than that under the ideal boundary condition; the comprehensive membrane tube filling rate of the whole humidifier is low, and the humidifying efficiency is influenced;
wherein, fig. 2 is a bundling and random arrangement form in the same direction, in which, even though the bundling is performed, the transverse bending is improved, the random arrangement is still a disadvantage because the humidifying membrane tubes 20 are soft; the humidifying membrane tubes 20 in the bundled tube bundle are still randomly placed, and the deterioration of the velocity distribution of the external flow field is still serious; the comprehensive membrane tube filling rate of the whole humidifier is low, and the humidifying efficiency is influenced;
in the form, the tube bundle states of the humidifying membrane tubes 20 in the integration cage 3 are equivalent to larger bundled tube bundles after being bundled more tightly, although the humidifying membrane tubes 20 are transversely placed straighter, the humidifying membrane tubes 20 in the integration cage 3 are closer to each other, and the anti-seismic performance of the humidifying membrane tubes is improved, but the problem that the humidifying membrane tubes 20 are randomly placed still exists; the tighter state of the humidifying membrane tubes 20 makes it difficult for the humidifying medium to enter the tube bundle, resulting in too low local speed or flow dead zone inside the assembly, and still having the deteriorating effect of flow distribution non-uniformity on the cooling efficiency and the humidifying efficiency of the assembly; in order to reduce the humidifying medium flow resistance, sufficient space must be left when the humidifying unit is placed in the housing, which affects the overall membrane tube fill rate.
