When the fuel cell works, the electrochemical reaction is generated in the fuel cell at any moment to generate moisture, and the larger the output power of the fuel cell is, the larger the electrochemical reaction amount is, the more moisture is generated, so that the working state of the latent heat exchange device can be controlled according to the moisture generated by the electrochemical reaction. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the above-mentioned collecting unit, the operating parameter information and the latent heat of vaporization condition are only examples, and other existing or future collecting units, operating parameter information and latent heat of vaporization conditions may be applied to this embodiment, and are included in the protection scope of this embodiment by reference. For example, the collection unit simultaneously contains temperature sensor, flowmeter, satisfies simultaneously fuel cell's operating temperature reaches the temperature threshold value, when fuel cell's water yield reaches preset water yield threshold value, heat transfer device passes through the control unit control is opened the storage water tank with at least one export check valve between latent heat of vaporization device, so that latent heat of vaporization device can make the storage water in the storage water tank vaporizes, utilizes the latent heat of vaporization of storage water cools down. In some embodiments, the control unit includes, but is not limited to, a single chip microcomputer. In some embodiments, the water storage tank 1 stores a small amount of water in advance for use when the water generated by the fuel cell 4 is too low to meet the requirement of temperature reduction. In this embodiment, at least one outlet check valve is arranged between the latent heat of vaporization device and the water storage tank 1, and the outlet check valve is controlled to be opened by a control unit only when the operating parameter information about the fuel cell, which is acquired by the acquisition unit, meets a latent heat of vaporization condition, so that the latent heat of vaporization device can vaporize the water stored in the water storage tank 1, and the latent heat of vaporization of the water stored is used for cooling; and when the working parameter information does not meet the latent heat of vaporization condition, an outlet one-way valve between the water storage tank 1 and the latent heat of vaporization device is in a closed state. On one hand, the stored water in the water storage tank 1 can be saved; on the other hand, the water generated by the fuel cell received by the water storage tank 1 can be given sufficient time, so that the water received by the water storage tank 1 can be sufficiently cooled to generate water, and the whole heat exchange device can be automatically switched to different working states (for example, a general heat dissipation state and a high-efficiency heat dissipation state).

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the water storage tank 1 includes a plurality of storage compartments (e.g., the storage compartment 11 and the storage compartment 11 'shown in fig. 4 and 5, although it will be understood by those skilled in the art that fig. 4 and 5 are only examples, and the water storage tank 1 may also include three, four or more storage compartments), and the outlet check valve (e.g., the outlet check valve 7 and the outlet check valve 7' shown in fig. 4 and 5) is respectively disposed between each of the plurality of storage compartments and the latent heat of vaporization device. In some embodiments, when the water storage tank 1 includes a plurality of water storage compartments, and the outlet check valve is disposed between each water storage compartment and the latent heat of vaporization device, the control unit of the heat exchange device may individually control the opening and closing states of the outlet check valve of one or more water storage compartments, so that the latent heat of vaporization device may utilize the water stored in one or more water storage compartments. For example, as shown in fig. 4, water generated by the fuel cell 4 during operation is shunted to the corresponding water storage compartments 11 and 11 'through different pipes, and when the operating parameter information of the fuel cell 4 satisfies the latent heat of vaporization condition, the control unit may randomly control the outlet check valve corresponding to one of the water storage compartments (e.g., the outlet check valve 7 corresponding to the water storage compartment 11), or may sequentially open the outlet check valve corresponding to a single water storage compartment from left to right (e.g., first open the outlet check valve 7, and then open the outlet check valve 7' after a certain time). For another example, as shown in fig. 5, water generated by the fuel cell 4 during operation flows into the water storage tank 1 through the same pipeline, the water storage tank 1 is partitioned by a partition 12 to form a plurality of water storage compartments (for example, the water storage compartment 11 and the water storage compartment 11 'shown in fig. 5, but it is understood by those skilled in the art that three, four or more water storage compartments may be included), the height of the partition 12 is smaller than the height of the water storage tank 1, so that a certain gap 13 is left between the top end of the partition 12 and the top plate of the water storage tank 1, and when water in one water storage compartment (for example, the water storage compartment 11) is full, the water can flow into another water storage compartment (for example, the water storage compartment 11') adjacent to the water storage compartment through the gap 13. In some embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 5, the water produced by the fuel cell 4 during operation flows through the same conduit to the water storage tank 1, which conduit may be disposed in the leftmost or rightmost storage compartment of the storage tank, so as to fill each storage compartment in sequence from left to right or from right to left. Of course, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the pipe may be disposed in any one of the water storage compartments, and the water in the water storage compartment will overflow into one or two adjacent water storage compartments. When the operating parameter information of the fuel cell 4 satisfies the latent heat of vaporization condition, the control unit may randomly control to open the outlet check valve 7 corresponding to one of the water storage compartments, may also control to open the outlet check valve 7 corresponding to the leftmost water storage compartment 11 (for example, as shown in fig. 5, when water generated by the fuel cell 4 during operation flows into the water storage tank 1 through the same pipe, the pipe is disposed in the leftmost water storage compartment of the water storage tank), or simultaneously control to open the outlet check valve 7 corresponding to the leftmost water storage compartment 11, and any other one, or the outlet check valves corresponding to any plurality of water storage compartments.

In some embodiments, a water level sensing unit (not shown) is installed in at least one of the water storage compartments, the water level sensing unit is electrically connected to the control unit, and the control unit is further configured to control an opening and closing state of an outlet check valve of the corresponding water storage compartment according to water level information detected by the water level sensing unit. For example, when the water storage tank includes a plurality of water storage compartments, and an outlet check valve is disposed between each water storage compartment and the latent heat of vaporization device, if it is detected that the operating parameter information of the fuel cell satisfies the latent heat of vaporization condition, the control unit may determine the outlet check valve of the corresponding water storage compartment according to the water level information detected by the water level sensing unit. In some embodiments, the water level sensing unit includes, but is not limited to, a water level sensor, a hydraulic pressure sensor, etc., and the water level sensing unit disposed in the water storage compartment 11 is used to detect water level information of the water storage compartment 11, so that the control unit controls the opening and closing state of the outlet check valve of the corresponding water storage compartment according to the water level information (e.g., opens or closes the outlet check valve). In some embodiments, the water level sensing unit is installed in at least one of the water storage compartments. For example, as shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5, the water storage tank may be configured such that the water level sensing unit is installed in each of the plurality of water storage compartments (e.g., the water storage compartment 11' …), and when the operating parameter information of the fuel cell 4 satisfies the latent heat of vaporization condition, the control unit determines at least one target water level information having water level information equal to or greater than a water level threshold according to the water level information detected by the plurality of water level sensing units, and uses the water storage compartment corresponding to the target water level information as the target water storage compartment, so as to control to open the outlet check valve of the target water storage compartment. In some embodiments, there may be a plurality of target water compartments having water level information equal to or greater than the water level threshold, and when there are a plurality of target water compartments, the control unit may randomly control to open the outlet check valve of at least one of the target water compartments, or sequentially open the outlet check valve of at least one of the target water compartments from left to right, or from right to left. In some embodiments, moisture is stored in one of the water storage compartments in advance so as to utilize the latent heat of vaporization of the pre-stored moisture when the latent heat of vaporization device is not sufficient to utilize the latent heat of vaporization of the moisture generated by the fuel cell. When the pre-stored moisture exists and a plurality of target water storage rooms with water level information reaching the water level threshold value are detected, the outlet one-way valve of the water storage room with the pre-stored moisture can be opened firstly. For another example, as shown in fig. 5, the water level sensing unit may be disposed in the right water storage compartment 11 '(in other words, in the water storage compartment for receiving and storing the water overflowing from the other water storage compartments adjacent thereto), and the water level sensing unit may not be disposed in the left water storage compartment 11, and when the operating parameter information of the fuel cell 4 satisfies the latent heat of vaporization condition, the control unit determines to open only the outlet check valve of the left water storage compartment 11, or to open the outlet check valves of the left and right water storage compartments 11' at the same time, according to the water level information detected by the water level sensing unit. For example, when the water level information detected by the water level sensing unit is equal to or greater than a first water level threshold and is less than a second water level threshold, the control unit controls to open only the outlet check valve of the left water storage compartment 11, and when the water level information detected by the water level sensing unit is equal to or greater than the second water level threshold, the control unit controls to open the outlet check valve of the left water storage compartment 11 and the outlet check valve 7 'of the right water storage compartment 11' at the same time. In other embodiments, if the water level information of the water storage room with the outlet check valve in the open state is smaller than the water level threshold in the process that the operating parameter information of the fuel cell 4 satisfies the latent heat of vaporization condition, the outlet check valve of the water storage room is controlled to be closed, and the outlet check valve of the next water storage room is controlled to be opened. In some embodiments, the water level information of the next water storage room is equal to or greater than the water level threshold.

In some embodiments, at least one inlet check valve 8 is disposed between the water storage compartments and the water discharge unit of the fuel cell 4, and when the inlet check valve 8 is opened, water generated during the operation of the fuel cell 4 flows into corresponding ones of the water storage compartments through the inlet check valve 8. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the plurality of water storage compartments share one inlet check valve 8, or, as shown in fig. 5, a drain unit of the fuel cell 4 and the plurality of water storage compartments are connected by one pipe, and the inlet check valve 8 is provided on the pipe. For another example, as shown in fig. 3 and 6, an inlet check valve (e.g., inlet check valve 8 ') is provided between each of the water storage compartments (e.g., water storage compartment 11') and the drain unit of the fuel cell 4. Of course, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the arrangement of the inlet check valve 8 shown in fig. 4 is equally applicable to the embodiments corresponding to fig. 3 and 6. The arrangement of the inlet non return valve 8 shown in figures 3 and 6 is equally applicable to the embodiment corresponding to figure 4. In some embodiments, when the water storage tank 1 includes a plurality of water storage compartments, and at least one inlet check valve 8 is disposed between the plurality of water storage compartments and the water discharge unit of the fuel cell 4, the control unit is electrically connected to each inlet check valve 8, so that the control unit automatically controls to open the corresponding inlet check valve. For example, the at least one inlet check valve is sequentially opened, so that water generated by the fuel cell sequentially collects all the water storage compartments, where when the operating parameter information of the fuel cell satisfies the latent heat of vaporization condition, the control unit may control the water storage compartment which is firstly opened or is firstly filled with water (for example, each water storage compartment corresponds to one inlet check valve and one outlet check valve, when water is stored, the control unit sequentially opens the at least one inlet check valve from left to right or from right to left to store water, and when the operating parameter information satisfies the latent heat of vaporization condition, the control unit sequentially opens the at least one outlet check valve from left to right or from right to left, so that the firstly stored and better cooled water first undergoes latent heat of vaporization). For another example, the at least one inlet check valve is opened simultaneously so that water produced by the fuel cell is collected in each storage compartment simultaneously. In this embodiment, by providing an inlet check valve between the drainage unit of the fuel cell 4 and the plurality of water storage compartments, it is possible to control the flow of water generated by the fuel cell during operation into the corresponding water storage compartment.

In some embodiments, the control unit is electrically connected to each inlet check valve, and the control unit is further configured to control an opening and closing state of the inlet check valve corresponding to the water storage compartment according to the water level information of the water storage compartment. For example, the control unit controls the opening of the inlet one-way valve of the corresponding water storage room according to the water level information detected by the water level sensing unit arranged in the water storage room (for example, the inlet one-way valve of at least one water storage room with the water level information smaller than a preset threshold value is opened randomly or in a certain sequence (for example, from left to right or from right to left), and the inlet one-way valve of the water storage room with the water level information within a certain range interval is opened randomly or in a certain sequence (for example, from left to right or from right to left) so as to intensively collect the water storage room).

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the acquisition unit comprises a temperature sensor 6 for acquiring the operating temperature of the fuel cell, and the latent heat of vaporization condition comprises that the operating temperature of the fuel cell reaches a temperature threshold; the control unit is electrically connected with the temperature sensor 6 and used for controlling the opening of the outlet one-way valve 7 when the working temperature of the fuel cell 4 collected by the temperature sensor 6 reaches a temperature threshold value, so that the latent heat of vaporization device enables the water storage in the water storage tank 1 to be vaporized when in work and the latent heat of vaporization of the water storage is utilized for cooling. In some embodiments, the control unit includes but is not limited to a single chip, for example, a temperature threshold is set in the control unit, and when the current working temperature of the fuel cell collected by the temperature sensor 6 reaches the temperature threshold, the control unit controls to open the outlet check valve of the water storage tank 1 (the opening manner is the same as or similar to that of the corresponding embodiment, and will not be described herein in detail), so that the latent heat of vaporization device can vaporize the stored water in the water storage tank 1, and the latent heat of vaporization is generated at the air inlet of the heat dissipation unit by the stored water to cool. In other embodiments, when the operating temperature of the fuel cell 4 does not reach the temperature threshold, the outlet check valves 7 are both in the closed state, and the heat exchanging device can realize heat exchanging and cooling of the fuel cell 4 through the cooperation between the cooling unit 3 and the heat dissipating unit 2. For example, the fuel cell 4 may require different heat dissipation requirements under different operating conditions. For example, under a general operation condition (for example, when the output power of the fuel cell 4 is within a certain power range), the fuel cell 4 is cooled by heat exchange through the cooperation of the heat dissipation unit 2 and the cooling unit 3, so that the heat dissipation requirement of the fuel cell under the general operation condition can be met, and at this time, the outlet check valve 7 can be closed. Under a high-power working condition (for example, when the output power of the fuel cell 4 is greater than a certain power threshold), the output power of the fuel cell 4 is increased, the heat dissipation capacity is also increased rapidly, the heat dissipation requirement of the fuel cell 4 cannot be met only through the matching between the heat dissipation unit 2 and the cooling unit 3, the internal heat dissipation of the fuel cell 4 is unbalanced, and at the moment, the heat exchange device automatically opens the outlet check valve 7 of the water storage tank 1 through the control unit, so that the latent heat of vaporization device vaporizes the water stored in the water storage tank 1, and the latent heat of vaporization of the water stored at the air inlet of the heat dissipation unit is used for cooling. In this embodiment, the heat exchange device controls to open the outlet check valve 7 of the water storage tank 1 only when the fuel cell 4 needs to increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation unit 2, so that on one hand, the water stored in the water storage tank 1 can be saved; on the other hand, the water storage tank 1 can be used for receiving the water generated by the fuel cell for sufficient time, so that the water received by the water storage tank 1 can be fully cooled to generate water, the whole heat exchange device can be automatically switched to different working states, and the heat dissipation requirements of the fuel cell 4 under different operating conditions can be automatically adapted.

In some embodiments, the latent heat of vaporization device includes a water distribution cooling unit 5 disposed at the air inlet of the heat dissipation unit, wherein the water distribution cooling unit 5 is connected to the water outlet of the water storage tank 1 and is configured to receive and release the stored water in the water storage tank 1 during operation, so as to utilize the latent heat of vaporization of the released moisture to reduce the air temperature of the heat dissipation unit 2 at the air inlet side by vaporizing the released moisture. In some embodiments, the water distribution cooling unit 5 includes, but is not limited to, a water distributor. In other embodiments, the water distribution cooling unit 5 includes, but is not limited to, a nozzle, for example, a water outlet of the water storage tank 1 is connected to the nozzle through a water pipe or a pipeline, and the stored water in the water storage tank 1 is received and released at an air inlet of the heat dissipation unit 2 through the nozzle. Of course, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above-mentioned cooling unit 3 is only an example, and other existing or future water distribution cooling units, such as may be applied to the present embodiment, are also within the scope of the present application and are included herein by reference.

In some embodiments, the heat exchange device further includes a pre-cooling device disposed at the air inlet of the heat dissipation unit. In some embodiments, the pre-cooling device includes, but is not limited to, a pre-cooling plate, a pre-cooling cloth. In some embodiments, the pre-cooling device is made using an organic wet film material. In other embodiments, the pre-cooling device is made of a foamed metal material. Of course, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the materials used in the above-described pre-cooling device are merely examples, and other materials that may be present or later come within the scope of the present application, such as those that can be adapted to the present embodiment, are also within the scope of the present application and are herein incorporated by reference. For example, other materials capable of providing adiabatic humidification and cooling of air. In some embodiments, the pre-cooling device is in the form of a plate; in other embodiments, the pre-cooling device is a shutter device or a roller shutter (e.g., the pre-cooling device may be deployed or stowed). In some embodiments, the pre-cooling device is disposed on the heat dissipation unit, for example, the heat dissipation unit includes a heat sink, and the pre-cooling device is disposed at an air inlet of the heat sink. In other embodiments, the pre-cooling device may be disposed on the base. For example, the heat exchanging device further includes a base 53, the pre-cooling device 52 is vertically disposed on the base 53, and the pre-cooling device 52 is perpendicular to the air inlet direction of the air inlet of the heat dissipating unit 2. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, and with further reference to fig. 8 and 9, the pre-cooling device 52 is vertically disposed on the base 53, and the pre-cooling device 52 is perpendicular to the air inlet direction of the air inlet of the heat dissipation unit 2, so as to maximize the evaporation area of water distributed on the pre-cooling device 52. In some embodiments, the pre-cooling device 52 is fixedly connected to the base 53. In other embodiments, the pre-cooling device 52 is rotatably disposed on the base 53, and for specific description of this portion, please refer to the following embodiments, which are not described herein. In this embodiment, the air inlet of the heat dissipation unit is provided with the pre-cooling device, so that the water released by the water distribution cooling unit is uniformly distributed on the pre-cooling device, thereby improving the efficiency of latent heat of vaporization and further improving the heat dissipation effect.

In some embodiments, the heat exchange device further includes a driving unit, the driving unit is respectively connected to the control unit and the pre-cooling device, the control unit is further configured to control the driving unit to drive the pre-cooling device to expand when the latent heat of vaporization device works, and control the driving unit to drive the pre-cooling device to retract when the latent heat of vaporization device does not work. In some embodiments, the driving unit includes, but is not limited to, a driving motor, for example, the pre-cooling device is a shutter or a roller shutter type pre-cooling device (e.g., a commercially available electric shutter, an electric roller shutter, etc.), and the shutter or the roller shutter type pre-cooling device is retracted or extended by the driving motor. In other embodiments, the pre-cooling device 52 is disposed on the base 53, and the pre-cooling device 52 is rotatably disposed on the base 53, in particular, the pre-cooling device 52 may be rotatably disposed on the base 53 through a hinge. For example, when the latent heat of vaporization device is operated (in some embodiments, the latent heat of vaporization device is operated when a latent heat of vaporization condition is satisfied), the control unit controls the driving unit to drive the pre-cooling device to a state perpendicular to the base (i.e., an "expanded" state). For example, as shown in fig. 10, the pre-cooling device 52 is driven by a driving device to rotate from the state of the pre-cooling device 52 to the state of the pre-cooling device 52 '(for example, when the latent heat of vaporization condition is not satisfied, the driving device is controlled to return the pre-cooling device to the initial state), or alternatively, to rotate from the state of the pre-cooling device 52' to the state of the pre-cooling device 52 (for example, when the latent heat of vaporization condition is satisfied, the driving device is controlled to drive the pre-cooling device to the state perpendicular to the base). In some embodiments, when the fuel cell meets the condition of latent heat of vaporization, the control unit controls the opening of the outlet one-way valve so that the latent heat of vaporization device can vaporize the water stored in the water storage tank 1, utilizes the latent heat of vaporization of the water stored for cooling, and controls the driving unit to drive the pre-cooling device to a state perpendicular to the base. In some embodiments, the drive unit includes, but is not limited to, a telescoping motor, and the control unit is electrically connected to the motor.

In this embodiment, the automation of the heat exchanging device described in the present application is further increased, and when the heat dissipation efficiency of the fuel cell 4 needs to be increased, the control unit automatically controls the driving unit to drive the pre-cooling device 52 to rotate to a state perpendicular to the base 53.

In some embodiments, the water distribution cooling unit comprises a water distributor 51 disposed at the air inlet of the heat dissipation unit, wherein the water distributor 51 is connected to the water outlet of the water storage tank 1 through a pipe, and a water pump 54 is disposed on the pipe and is configured to receive and release the stored water in the water storage tank during operation, so as to reduce the air temperature of the heat dissipation unit at the air inlet side by using the latent heat of vaporization of the released water by vaporizing the released water. For example, to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, the water distribution cooling unit includes a water distributor 51, so that the water in the water storage tank is uniformly distributed to the pre-cooling device 52 through the water distributor 51.

Here, the heat exchanger described in this embodiment is the same as or similar to the heat exchanger described in any of the above embodiments, and details thereof are not repeated herein.

Fig. 13 shows a method for exchanging heat of a fuel cell by a heat exchanging device according to another embodiment of the present application, the heat exchanging device includes a water storage tank, a heat dissipating unit, and a cooling unit, the water storage tank is connected to a water draining unit of the fuel cell, the water storage tank is used for receiving and storing water generated during the operation of the fuel cell, the heat dissipating unit and the cooling unit are used in cooperation to implement a heat exchanging and temperature reducing process for the fuel cell, and the heat exchanging device further includes: the method comprises the following steps of S11, S12, and in step S11, monitoring whether the fuel cell meets a latent heat of vaporization condition in real time during the operation process of the fuel cell; in step S12, if yes, controlling to open at least one outlet check valve to make the latent heat of vaporization device vaporize the water in the water storage tank, and utilizing the latent heat of vaporization of the stored water to cool. In some embodiments, the heat exchange device is the same as or similar to the heat exchange device of any of the embodiments, and the description of the heat exchange device is not repeated herein. In some embodiments, the latent heat of vaporization conditions include, but are not limited to, the water production of the fuel cell reaching a preset water production threshold, and the operating temperature of the fuel cell reaching a preset temperature threshold. In other embodiments, it may also be determined whether the latent heat of vaporization condition is satisfied based on the operating state of the usage carrier of the fuel cell, for example, when the driver operates the fuel cell power system, the magnitude of the output power of the fuel cell is changed at any time through a throttle (i.e., an accelerator) or the like. Therefore, the working state of the heat exchange device can be determined according to the operation mode of a driver, for example, when the fuel cell is required to output high power, the driver increases the opening of a throttle valve, if the opening is larger than a threshold value, a signal is sent to a control system to control the heat exchange device to work, and the heat dissipation requirement of the fuel cell at high power output is met; when the opening of the throttle valve is reduced by a driver, the fuel cell correspondingly outputs low power, a general heat dissipation system meets the heat dissipation capacity, and at the moment, a signal is sent to the control system, and the heat exchange device stops working. For example, when the operating temperature of the fuel cell reaches a temperature threshold, the heat exchange device controls to open an outlet one-way valve between the latent heat of vaporization device and the water storage tank, so that the latent heat of vaporization device can vaporize the water stored in the water storage tank, and the latent heat of vaporization of the water stored is utilized to cool the water; and when the working temperature of the fuel cell does not reach the temperature threshold value, the outlet one-way valve is in a closed state. Of course, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above-mentioned latent heat of vaporization conditions are merely exemplary, and other conditions of latent heat of vaporization that exist or may be later come into existence, such as being applicable to the present embodiment, are also within the scope of the present embodiment and are included herein by reference. The following description will be given mainly taking as an example that the latent heat of vaporization condition includes that the operating temperature of the fuel cell reaches a preset temperature threshold. For example, the fuel cell 4 may require different heat dissipation requirements under different operating conditions. For example, under a general operation condition, the heat dissipation unit and the cooling unit cooperate to operate to meet the heat dissipation requirement of the fuel cell, the inside of the fuel cell stack is in a state of heat dissipation balance, at this time, the temperature sensor displays that the temperature is within a normal range (for example, the working temperature of the fuel cell does not reach the temperature threshold), at this time, the latent heat of vaporization device does not work (for example, the outlet check valve 7 is in a closed state), and meanwhile, the fuel cell generates moisture and stores the moisture in the water storage tank 1, so that the fuel cell can be sufficiently cooled. Under the working condition of high power, the output power of the fuel cell system is increased, the heat dissipation capacity is increased rapidly, the heat dissipation unit and the cooling unit can not meet the heat dissipation requirement when in matched operation, the internal heat dissipation of the fuel cell is unbalanced, the temperature is increased, the current working temperature of the fuel cell, which is acquired by the temperature sensor, reaches the temperature threshold value, at least one outlet one-way valve is controlled to be opened, and the latent heat vaporization device starts to work to utilize the latent heat of vaporization of the water in the water storage tank to reduce the air temperature at the air inlet of the heat dissipation unit. In some embodiments, the latent heat of vaporization device includes, but is not limited to, a water distribution cooling unit, for example, when the operating temperature of the fuel cell reaches a temperature threshold, at least one outlet check valve is controlled to be opened, so that the water distribution cooling unit receives and releases the stored water in the water storage tank. In some embodiments, the heat dissipation unit includes a heat dissipation fan and a heat sink, the heat dissipation fan blows or sucks high-temperature dry air through a wet pre-cooling device, and since the air temperature at the inlet of the heat sink passes through the pre-cooling device and is subjected to heat insulation and humidification, the humidity rises, and the temperature greatly drops, so that the heat exchange temperature difference and the specific heat capacity of the air are increased, the heat dissipation efficiency can be improved, and the area (volume) of the heat sink required can be reduced on the premise of ensuring that the average temperature of the fuel cell is unchanged. Therefore, the volume occupied by the fuel cell system is reduced, or more reaction units are placed in a limited space, the volume power density of the fuel cell system can be correspondingly improved, heat on more radiators can be taken away through adiabatic humidification, cooling and heat exchange capacity enhancement, and the heat dissipation requirement of the fuel cell system under the high-power working condition operation is met.

In some embodiments, the heat exchange device further comprises a collection unit; the step S11 includes: and acquiring the working parameter information of the fuel cell through the acquisition unit, and monitoring whether the working parameter information meets the latent heat of vaporization condition in real time in the working process of the fuel cell. In some embodiments, the collecting unit includes, but is not limited to, a temperature sensor for collecting an operating temperature of the fuel cell, where the operating parameter information includes the operating temperature of the fuel cell, and the latent heat of vaporization condition includes the operating temperature of the fuel cell reaching a temperature threshold. For example, when the operating temperature of the fuel cell reaches a temperature threshold, the heat exchange device controls to open an outlet one-way valve between the latent heat of vaporization device and the water storage tank, so that the latent heat of vaporization device can vaporize the water stored in the water storage tank, and the latent heat of vaporization of the water stored is utilized to cool the water; and when the working temperature of the fuel cell does not reach the temperature threshold value, the outlet one-way valve is in a closed state. In other embodiments, the collecting unit includes, but is not limited to, a water level sensor or a hydraulic sensor for collecting water level information in the water storage tank, where the operating parameter information includes water level information of the water stored in the water storage tank, and the latent heat of vaporization condition includes that the water level information reaches a water level threshold.

In some embodiments, the water level sensing unit includes, but is not limited to, a water level sensor, a hydraulic pressure sensor, etc., and the water level sensing unit disposed in the water storage compartment 11 is used to detect water level information of the water storage compartment 11, so as to control the opening and closing state of the outlet check valve of the corresponding water storage compartment (e.g., open or close the outlet check valve) according to the water level information. In some embodiments, the water level sensing unit is installed in at least one of the water storage compartments. For example, as shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5, the water storage tank may be configured such that the water level sensing unit is installed in each of the multiple water storage compartments (e.g., the water storage compartment 11' …), for example, when the operating parameter information of the fuel cell 4 satisfies the latent heat of vaporization condition (e.g., when the operating temperature reaches the temperature threshold), at least one target water level information having water level information equal to or greater than the first water level threshold is determined according to the water level information detected by the multiple water level sensing units, and the water storage compartment corresponding to the target water level information is used as the target water storage compartment, so as to control to open the outlet check valve of the target water storage compartment. In some embodiments, there may be a plurality of target water compartments, and when there are a plurality of target water compartments, the opening of the outlet check valve of at least one of the target water compartments may be randomly controlled, or the opening of the outlet check valve of at least one of the target water compartments may be sequentially performed from left to right, or from right to left. In some embodiments, at least one inlet check valve is arranged between the plurality of water storage rooms and the drainage unit of the fuel cell, when water is stored, the heat exchange device can sequentially open the inlet check valves from left to right or from right to left according to a certain sequence to store water, at this time, the stored water in the water storage room with the first stored water has sufficient cooling time, the stored water is more, the water level information is higher, and the heat exchange device directly determines the stored water in the target water storage room according to the water level information to be more beneficial to participating in latent heat radiation work. For another example, as shown in fig. 5, the water level sensing unit may be disposed in the right water storage room 11 ' (in other words, in the water storage room for receiving and storing the water overflowing from the other water storage room adjacent thereto), and the water level sensing unit may not be disposed in the left water storage room 11, and when the operating parameter information of the fuel cell 4 satisfies the latent heat of vaporization condition, it may be determined to open only the outlet check valve of the left water storage room 11 (for example, determine the water storage room 11 as the target water storage room) or to open the outlet check valves of the left water storage room 11 and the right water storage room 11 ' at the same time (for example, determine the water storage room 11 and the water storage room 11 ' as the target water storage room) according to the water level information detected by the water level sensing unit. For example, when the water level information detected by the water level sensing unit is equal to or greater than a first water level threshold and is less than a third water level threshold, it is determined that the target storage room is the storage room 11, and only the outlet check valve of the left storage room 11 is controlled to be opened, and when the water level information detected by the water level sensing unit is equal to or greater than the third water level threshold, it is determined that the target storage room is the storage room 11, the storage room 11 ', and the outlet check valve 7' of the left storage room 11 and the outlet check valve 7 'of the right storage room 11' are controlled to be opened simultaneously.

For example, when the working temperature of the fuel cell reaches the temperature threshold value, the heat exchange device controls to open an outlet one-way valve of at least one target water storage room, and the latent heat of vaporization device starts to work; and in the process that the outlet one-way valve of the target water storage room is in an opening state, if the working temperature of the fuel cell is reduced to be lower than the working temperature of the temperature threshold, at the moment, the heat exchange device controls to close the outlet one-way valve of the target water storage room, and the latent heat of vaporization device stops working.

In some embodiments, the method further includes step S13 (not shown), and in step S13, if the water level information of the target water storage room is less than the second water level threshold during the process that the operating temperature of the fuel cell is equal to or greater than the temperature threshold, the heat exchanging device controls to close the outlet check valve of the target water storage room and controls to open the outlet check valve of the next water storage room. In some embodiments, the second water level threshold is less than the first water level threshold. For example, when the operating temperature of the fuel cell reaches the temperature threshold, the heat exchange device controls to open an outlet one-way valve of at least one target water storage room, the water distribution cooling unit starts to operate, and if the water level information of the target water storage room with the opened outlet one-way valve is smaller than the second water level threshold in the process that the operating temperature of the fuel cell 4 is equal to or greater than the temperature threshold, it indicates that the water storage room of the target water storage room is about to be used up, and at this time, the heat exchange device may control to close the outlet one-way valve of the water storage room and control to open an outlet one-way valve of the next water storage room.

For example, the heat exchange device controls to open the inlet one-way valve of the corresponding water storage room according to the water level information detected by the water level sensing unit arranged in the water storage room (for example, the inlet one-way valve of the water storage room with the water level information smaller than a preset threshold value is opened, and the inlet one-way valve of the water storage room is controlled to be closed after the water level information of the water storage room reaches the preset threshold value; for example, the inlet one-way valve of the water storage room with the water level information within a certain range interval is opened so as to intensively and fully collect the water storage room, and the inlet one-way valve of the water storage room is controlled to be closed after the water level information of the water storage room reaches the preset full water collection level threshold value).

For example, as shown in fig. 10, the pre-cooling device 52 is driven by a driving device to rotate from the state of the pre-cooling device 52 to the state of the pre-cooling device 52 '(for example, when the operating temperature of the fuel cell collected by the temperature sensor is less than the temperature threshold, the driving device is controlled to return the pre-cooling device to the initial state), or alternatively, the state of the pre-cooling device 52' is rotated to the state of the pre-cooling device 52 (for example, when the operating temperature of the fuel cell collected by the temperature sensor reaches the temperature threshold, the driving device is controlled to drive the pre-cooling device to the state perpendicular to the base). In some embodiments, when the operating temperature of the fuel cell reaches the temperature threshold, the heat exchange device controls the driving device to drive the pre-cooling device to a state perpendicular to the base while controlling to open the outlet check valve so that the water distribution cooling unit 5 can receive and release the stored water in the water storage tank 1.
