The fuel cell power source of actual motion is fuel cell pack often, and a battery pile is made up of several monocells, faces two shared pole plates of monocell mutually, and this moment, pole plate contacted with the electrode of the monocell of its both sides, and such pole plate is called as bipolar plates.The both sides of each bipolar plates all are processed with the fluidized bed that is made of runner.Bipolar plates is except the discharge that enters electrode and product for reactant provides the passage, also has the reactant of separation, collected current, with effects such as each monocell are together in series, is the important component part of battery pile.Bipolar plates and runner design thereof have very significant effects to the overall performance of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells.
Runner on the bipolar plates can be divided into: polytypes such as serpentine flow path, parallel fluid channels, interlaced flow passage.Wherein interlaced flow passage proposes at the hydrogen Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells in middle 1990s at first, is used for the cathode side of fuel cell more, and the fluid of inlet is a gas.The runner that directly communicates with the bipolar plates intake header is called as inlet channel, and the runner that directly communicates with the bipolar plate exit house steward is called as outlet flow.Inlet channel and outlet flow constitute fluidized bed jointly.Inlet channel and outlet flow are staggered and arrange that not communicating each other, (see accompanying drawing 1, wherein white portion is a runner on bipolar plates; Black part is divided into the ridge between runner, and it also is the contact portion of bipolar plates and porous media electrode), its purpose be to force in the inlet channel fluid by with the contacted porous media electrode of pole plate, enter adjacent outlet flow then.Compare with serpentine flow path and parallel fluid channels, interlaced flow passage can be strengthened reacting gas, and also can reduce negative electrode floods phenomenon to the mass transfer of Catalytic Layer from runner, improves fuel battery performance.
Although compare with serpentine flow path and parallel fluid channels, interlaced flow passage has above-mentioned advantage, but, inlet channel and the wide symmetric design (seeing accompanying drawing 1) of outlet flow are all adopted in the design of existing interlaced flow passage fluidized bed, such design makes the low concentration region that still has a reactant in the porous media electrode part corresponding with outlet flow, the area of low concentration region still accounts for suitable ratio in the battery effective area, thereby reduced the utilance of electrode catalyst, the performance of fuel cell when high current density also is subjected to appreciable impact.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to further strengthen, reduce or delay concentration polarization, significantly do not increase the pressure loss between the bipolar plates import and export simultaneously from the mass transfer of runner to Catalytic Layer by the design of asymmetrical interlaced flow passage.Make when fuel cell discharges with high current density (concentration polarization district), compare that the fuel cell electric discharge voltage of equipping bipolar plates of the present invention has raising comparatively significantly with the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells of traditional interlaced flow passage; Under identical discharge voltage, the maximum current density that fuel battery energy provides significantly increases.Also make the peak power output density of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells be improved simultaneously.
The invention provides the asymmetric interlaced flow passage double pole plate of a proton exchanging film fuel battery, as shown in Figure 2, comprise dowel hole 1, the location of bipolar plates when dowel hole 1 is used for the fuel cell pack assembling; One group of outlet flow 2, one group of inlet channel 3, seal groove 4 are all processed on bipolar plates 5; Seal groove 4 is used to place sealing ring and leaks to prevent working fluid; One group of outlet flow 2 communicates with the outlet header of bipolar plates, and one group of inlet channel 3 communicates with the intake header of bipolar plates, it is characterized in that the width of inlet channel 3 is greater than the width of outlet flow 2.
Core of the present invention is runner section in bipolar plates to have adopted the inlet channel width, and (see accompanying drawing 3, white portion is a runner among the figure greater than the unsymmetric structure of outlet flow width; Black part is divided into the ridge between runner, and it also is the contact portion of bipolar plates and porous media electrode), the width of import and export runner is than between 1.5 to 2.5.
Experiment finds that the import and export width of flow path of asymmetric interlaced flow passage double pole plate of the present invention is bigger than more, and the power generation performance of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells is just good more.But excessive import and export width of flow path is than the increase that can cause the excessive and processing cost of the pressure loss between the bipolar plates import and export.Inventor's theory and experimental study show, importing and exporting width of flow path is suitable than between 1.5 to 2.5, this moment is not only owing to strengthen and to make to the mass transfer of Catalytic Layer from runner and the cell power generation performance boost significantly not increase the pressure loss and processing cost between the bipolar plates import and export simultaneously.
