Detailed Description
The present inventors have made extensive and intensive studies and, for the first time, have developed a fuel cell engine having a novel structure. The fuel cell engine is provided with the additional electric pile purging subsystem, and the electric pile purging subsystem is integrated on the intercooler and used for purging hydrogen in a cavity defined between the fuel cell electric pile shell and the electric pile body, so that potential safety hazards are further eliminated, and the safety of the fuel cell engine is improved. In addition, the safety of the fuel cell engine is further improved by further arranging a temperature and pressure sensor in the intercooler and monitoring the temperature and/or pressure of the intercooler, so that emergency exhaust is carried out through the emergency exhaust pipeline under the necessary condition. The present invention has been completed based on this finding.
Specifically, the inventor finds that in the research and development process, three cavities are formed in the stack body, and hydrogen and oxygen react in the stack body. Due to the strong diffusibility of hydrogen, a part of hydrogen can seep out in some cases in the reaction process, so that the hydrogen concentration of the cavity between the pile body and the pile shell is higher and higher. According to the description of the relevant standards, hydrogen is a flammable and explosive gas, and if the hydrogen is accumulated and the volume concentration reaches 4-75%, the danger of combustion and even explosion exists. Therefore, the inventor integrates the stack purging subsystem on the intercooler by arranging the additional stack purging subsystem and optimizing the design, so that the fuel cell engine with more excellent safety performance is obtained.
The fuel system engine according to the present invention has at least the following technical effects:
firstly, the stack purging subsystem enables the hydrogen concentration between the stack body and the stack shell to be managed, and when the leakage concentration reaches a threshold value, the stack is purged in time by utilizing air shunting in the intercooler, so that explosion danger caused by hydrogen accumulation is effectively prevented;
secondly, the temperature and pressure of air circulating in the intercooler can be managed by arranging the temperature and pressure sensor on the intercooler, when the pressure reaches a certain threshold value, the emergency discharge pier head can exhaust air timely, and the situation that parts are damaged due to overhigh pressure when the air passing through the air compressor flows into the intercooler is prevented;
the intercooler realizes multifunctional integration, integrates a temperature and pressure sensor, a pile blowing pier head and an emergency exhaust pier head, has compact structure, reduces the occupied space to the maximum extent, and is easy for the arrangement of a fuel cell system;
fourthly, because a plurality of pier heads and sensor joints do not need additional processing, the use of materials such as rubber tubes and the like is reduced, and the development cost is reduced;
and the sensor joint and the pier head are welded on the intercooler, so that the system is more stable when the system runs for a long time, and the fault probability is reduced.
In the following description, numerous technical details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present invention. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the claimed invention may be practiced without these specific details and with various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.
Partial concept description:
intercooler
In a fuel cell engine, oxygen is fed to the cathode, hydrogen is fed to the anode, and the hydrogen and oxygen react to produce electrical energy. A compressor is typically used to supply oxygen-containing air to the fuel cell. When oxygen-containing air is delivered to the fuel cell, the temperature of the air is raised by the compression force of the compressor. Fuel cells are capable of efficiently producing electrical energy over a specified temperature range. However, the temperature of the oxygen-containing air compressed by the compressor rises to 120 ℃. If air having such a high temperature is fed to the fuel cell, efficient power generation cannot be achieved. Therefore, before supplying air to the fuel cell, the air is cooled to a predetermined temperature by passing through an intercooler. An intercooler is a heat exchanger, i.e., a device that allows two or more fluids to be transferred to each other without direct contact. The cooled oxygen-containing air is passed through a humidifier for increasing the water content of the oxygen-containing air and into the fuel cell stack.
Purging
In the power generation process of the fuel cell, in order to remove reaction residual gas or leakage gas and prevent the damage to the cell, the smooth operation of the next start-up is ensured by adopting a mode of purging necessary components. Common purging scenarios include: blowing a large amount of accumulated water generated by the cathode due to reaction before shutdown so as to prevent the residual water from generating phase change, volume expansion and damage to the battery when the ambient temperature is lower than zero ℃; in the reaction process, a small amount of hydrogen continuously leaks between the galvanic pile body and the galvanic pile shell in a hydrogen cavity inside the galvanic pile body, and the hydrogen in the galvanic pile needs to be purged in order to prevent explosion danger caused by overhigh hydrogen concentration. At present, the purging mode mainly comprises the following steps: directly blowing by using air or externally blowing by using nitrogen. The invention adopts air purging.

The hydrogen concentration sensor is connected with the ECU subsystem through the CAN bus, and transmits the detected hydrogen concentration value to the ECU subsystem. After receiving the hydrogen concentration signal in the form of an electric signal, the ECU subsystem compares the hydrogen concentration signal in the form of an electric signal with a preset threshold value to judge whether hydrogen leakage occurs, namely when the hydrogen concentration signal in the form of an electric signal is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, the ECU subsystem judges that no hydrogen leakage occurs; when the hydrogen concentration signal in the form of the electrical signal is greater than the preset threshold, it is determined that hydrogen leakage occurs, and at this time, an enable signal in the form of an electrical signal is generated by an enable signal generation circuit or the like, and is sent to the first electromagnetic valve 311 on the stack purge pier 31. The ECU subsystem is provided with a switch to control the open and close states of the first solenoid valve 311.
The electric pile purging pier head 31 is arranged on an inclined plane of the intercooler 3 close to the air outlet, and a 90-degree bent angle structure is arranged at the position close to the air outlet, so that a shunted air flow path for purging is orthogonal to an air flow path in the intercooler 3, and the pipe orifice of the electric pile purging pier head 31 is arranged towards the direction of the air outlet and can be connected with the fuel cell electric pile.

In order to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following description is given with reference to a specific example, wherein the listed details are mainly for the convenience of understanding and are not to be taken as a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.
Example 1 Hydrogen concentration management and purging
The oxygen supply subsystem includes: an air filter (not shown), an air compressor 2, an intercooler 3, and a humidifier 4. When the fuel cell engine is started, external air flows into the fuel cell stack through the air filter and the air compressor 2, the intercooler 3 and the humidifier 4. The output end of the air filter is connected with the input end of the air compressor 2 through a pipeline, and compressed air enters the intercooler 3 to be cooled and enters the cathode of the fuel cell after the humidity of the air is increased through the humidifier 4 so as to meet the humidity requirement of the fuel cell on the air at the inlet of the cathode.
The oxygen supply subsystem further comprises a galvanic pile purging subsystem, which comprises a hydrogen concentration sensor, a galvanic pile purging pier head and a first electromagnetic valve 311 arranged on the galvanic pile purging pier head 31. And the stack purging subsystem is integrated on the intercooler 3.
The hydrogen concentration sensor is arranged at the ventilation outlet of the fuel cell stack.
The ECU subsystem is arranged on a galvanic pile of the fuel cell engine, and the hydrogen concentration sensor is connected with the ECU subsystem through a CAN bus and transmits the detected hydrogen concentration value to the ECU subsystem. The ECU subsystem stores a preset threshold value of hydrogen concentration: 3000ppm, i.e. the received hydrogen concentration signal in the form of a signal is compared with 3000ppm, and if the signal value is greater than 3000ppm, the first solenoid valve 311 is opened. Also stored within the ECU subsystem are 2 thresholds: 3000ppm, 6000ppm, corresponding to the first-stage purge speed execution command: half open state, two-stage purge speed execution command of the first solenoid valve 311: the first solenoid valve 311 is fully open.
After the ECU subsystem receives the hydrogen concentration signal of the electric signal form, the hydrogen concentration signal of the electric signal form is compared with a preset threshold value to judge whether hydrogen leakage occurs, when the hydrogen concentration signal of the electric signal form is larger than 3000ppm, the enabling signal of the electric signal form is generated, the enabling signal is sent to a first electromagnetic valve 311 on a pile purging pier head 31, the electromagnetic valve 311 is opened, an air flow path inside an intercooler is shunted, the air flow path flows into a pile through the pile pier head 31, and a purging function is executed.
The pile purging pier head 31 is arranged on an inclined plane of the intercooler 3 close to the air outlet, and a 90-degree bent angle structure is arranged at the position close to the air outlet. The inner diameter of the pile blowing pier head 31 is 5-7 mm, and preferably, the inner diameter is 6 mm.
