Description

Method for measuring moisture flow of small-pipe-diameter hydrogen loop
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of wet gas flow measurement, and relates to an ultrasonic electricity bimodal small-pipe-diameter wet gas flow measurement method.
Background
Compared with the traditional automobile, the hydrogen fuel cell automobile has obvious advantages in energy conservation and environmental protection, however, hydrogen is not completely consumed in the process of generating electricity by the battery, and unreacted hydrogen needs to be recycled through a circulation loop. Water is an additional product of the power generation reaction, and it is difficult for the water to be completely emptied during operation of the battery, and to flow at high speed in the form of moisture in the circuit. When the liquid phase content is too high, safety problems such as blockage or water hammer can occur, so that the moisture flow in the circulation loop needs to be monitored in real time to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the hydrogen fuel cell.
The traditional wet gas flow measurement means mainly uses a single-phase flowmeter for measurement, and can also be combined with classical flow measurement means such as a differential pressure flowmeter for measurement. Since most single-phase flowmeters interfere with the normal flow of fluid and produce pressure losses, and the repeatability of measurement results is poor, it is difficult to meet the requirements for accurate measurement of hydrogen fuel cell loop moisture.
The moisture content measuring method mainly comprises a quick-closing valve method, a ray attenuation method, an optical method, an ultrasonic method and the like. The quick-closing valve method can interfere with fluid flow and cannot make real-time, on-line measurements of the content. The ray attenuation method has high cost and potential safety hazard. The optical method utilizes a high-speed camera to shoot the flowing state in the pipeline, utilizes a calibration means as a reference to determine the phase content of fluid in the pipeline, has higher requirements on the calibration precision and the calibration means, and is not suitable for a small-pipe-diameter hydrogen circulation loop because the pipeline is made of transparent materials. The ultrasonic method utilizes the attenuation degree of ultrasonic wave propagating in different fluids to measure the phase content, but has the defects of weak energy of received signals, low signal-to-noise ratio, poor measurement accuracy of the water content and the like.
In view of the foregoing, there is a need for a non-contact, disturbance-free, high-precision, and fast-response method for measuring the moisture flow rate of a small-diameter hydrogen circulation loop.
