Description

A kind of fuel battery membrane electrode leak detector
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of leak locator, especially relates to a kind of leak locator of fuel cell membrane electrode.
Background technology
Fuel cell is the device that a kind of chemical energy that produces can be with fuel and oxygenant generation electrochemical reaction the time is transformed into electric energy.The core component of this device is membrane electrode (Membrane Electrode Assembly, be called for short MEA), membrane electrode can be made up of by conductive porous property diffusion material (as carbon paper) with two that are clipped in the film both sides a PEM, is evenly distributed with the catalyzer (as metal platinum) of the caused electrochemical reaction of tiny dispersion on two boundary surfaces that PEM contacts with conductive material.Draw by external circuit with the electronics that conductive body will take place to produce in the electrochemical reaction process on the membrane electrode both sides, has just constituted current return.
Anode tap at membrane electrode, fuel can pass poriness diffusion material (as carbon paper) by infiltration, and in catalyst surface generation electrochemical reaction, loses electronics and form positive ion, positive ion can pass PEM by migration, arrives the other end cathode terminal of membrane electrode.Cathode terminal at membrane electrode, the gas (as air) that contains oxygenant (as oxygen), pass poriness diffusion material (as carbon paper) by infiltration, and in catalyst surface generation electrochemical reaction, obtain electronics and form negative ion, this negative ion further combines with the positive ion of coming from the anode tap migration, forms reaction product.
Be fuel with hydrogen, be in the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells of oxygenant (or be oxygenant with the pure oxygen) with the air that contains oxygen, fuel hydrogen loses the catalytic electrochemical reaction of electronics in the anodic site, form hydrogen positive ion (proton), its electro-chemical reaction equations is:
H 2=2H ++2e -
Oxygen obtains the catalytic electrochemical reaction of electronics in the cathodic area, form negative ion, and this negative ion further combines with the hydrogen positive ion of coming from the anode tap migration, forms reaction product water.Its electro-chemical reaction equations is:
2H ++1/2O 2+2e -=H 2O
PEM in the fuel cell is except the proton that is used for taking place electrochemical reaction and migration exchange reaction and produces, its effect comprises that also air-flow that will contain fuel hydrogen and the air-flow that contains oxygenant (oxygen) separate, and they can not mixed mutually and produces the explosion type reaction.
In typical Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, membrane electrode generally is placed between the pole plate of two conductions, all offers diversion trench on the two-plate, therefore is called guide plate again.On the surface that diversion trench is opened in membrane electrode contacts, mill formation at quarter by die casting, punching press or machinery, its quantity is at one or more.Guide plate can be made by metal material, also can be made by graphite material.The effect of the diversion trench on the guide plate is anodic site or the cathodic area that fuel or oxygenant is imported the membrane electrode both sides respectively.In the structure of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells monocell, only there are a membrane electrode and two guide plates, two guide plate branches are located at the membrane electrode both sides, a guide plate as anode fuel, another is as the guide plate of cathode oxidant.These two guide plates also are the mechanical support on membrane electrode both sides both as current collector plate.Diversion trench on the guide plate is the passage that fuel or oxygenant enter the male or female surface, also is the exhalant canal that the water that generates in the battery operation process is taken away.
In order to increase the power of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, the composition electric battery that usually mode of two or more monocells by straight folded mode or tiling connected together, or be called battery pile.This electric battery tightens together by front end-plate, end plate and pull bar usually and becomes one.In electric battery, the two sides of the pole plate between two PEMs all is provided with diversion trench, is called bipolar plates.The wherein one side of bipolar plates is as the anode guide face of a membrane electrode, and another side is then as the cathode diversion face of another adjacent membranes electrode.1), the import and the flow-guiding channel of fuel and oxidant gas a typical electric battery also comprises usually:.2), the import and export and the flow-guiding channel of cooling fluid (as water) its effect is that fuel (as hydrogen, methyl alcohol or the hydrogen-rich gas that obtained after reforming by methyl alcohol, rock gas, gasoline) and oxygenant (mainly being oxygen or air) are distributed in the diversion trench of each anode, cathode plane equably:.3), the outlet and the flow-guiding channel of fuel and oxidant gas its effect is that cooling fluid is distributed in the cooling duct in each electric battery equably, absorbs the reaction heat that produces in the fuel cell and takes it out of electric battery and dispel the heat:.Its effect is that the unnecessary fuel gas and the oxygenant that do not participate in reaction are discharged, and will react the liquid state of generation or the water of gaseous state simultaneously and take out of.Above-mentioned fuel is imported and exported, oxygenant is imported and exported and the import and export of cooling fluid all are opened on the end plate of fuel cell group usually or be opened in respectively on two end plates.Membrane electrode is the core component of fuel cell, the quality of its quality is the key of the whole fuel battery performance of decision, the proton that membrane electrode produces in transportable exchange reaction, can not allow the fuel hydrogen and the air of membrane electrode both sides intersect, in order to avoid they mix mutually and blast.That is to say that membrane electrode definitely can not leak gas, whether the detection membrane electrode leaks gas is that membrane electrode is carried out the important ring that quality is checked on.In production reality, the quality testing that must all whether leak gas to each membrane electrode is rigid in checking up, and therefore, must design a kind of device that can hunt leak to membrane electrode exactly again fast, with quality and the production efficiency of guaranteeing membrane electrode.
Vacuum leak detector is used in the leak detection of membrane electrode at present more.Publication number is the vacuum leak detector that the Chinese patent of CN1789944 discloses a kind of fuel cell membrane electrode, it comprises frame, mobile intermediate plate, cylinder, the fixed test plate, the motion detection plate, vacuum meter and stopcock, during detection membrane electrode is fixed in the motion detection plate with the corresponding O RunddichtringO of the peripheral nonactive sealing area shape of membrane electrode on, make membrane electrode on the motion detection plate just in time be positioned at the corresponding O RunddichtringO of the peripheral nonactive sealing area shape of membrane electrode below on the fixed test plate by detent mechanism, to move on the motion detection plate then, corresponding the coincideing of the O-ring seal of check-out console is clipped in the middle membrane electrode up and down, take out the air between striping electrode and the fixed test plate then, and make vacuum tightness reach the 1mm mercury column, again stopcock cuts out, whether change by the pressure of observing on the vacuum meter, judge whether membrane electrode leaks gas.The membrane electrode disrepair phenomenon that causes because of vacuum tightness is excessive can appear in this device in use, and upper-lower seal circle butt joint degree of agreement has deviation will cause flase drop slightly.
