In the description of the present invention, it is to be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on those shown in the drawings, and are only for convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, but do not indicate or imply that the position or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed in a specific orientation, and be operated, and thus, are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
As shown in fig. 1, the utility model provides a multi-range fuel cell tail-exhaust hydrogen concentration testing device, which can realize the application of a common hydrogen concentration sensor in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment and improve the detection precision of hydrogen concentration.
Specifically, the multi-range fuel cell tail-exhausted hydrogen concentration testing device comprises a tail gas pretreatment module 1 and a hydrogen concentration detection module 2.
The outlet of the fuel cell engine 5 is communicated with the gas sampling pipe 3, and the gas sampling pipe 3 is communicated with the inlet of the tail gas pretreatment module 1 at a preset distance from the outlet of the fuel cell engine 5. Specifically, the preset distance is 100mm to meet the national standard.
The outlet of the tail gas pretreatment module 1 is communicated with the inlet of the hydrogen concentration detection module 2, and is used for outputting the gas to be detected within the working temperature and humidity range of the hydrogen concentration detection module 2, so that the problem that a common sensor cannot be used in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment is solved.
The hydrogen concentration detection module 2 comprises at least 3 hydrogen concentration sensors with different measuring ranges, and in an initial state, all the hydrogen concentration sensors are in a working state, so that the accuracy of detecting the hydrogen concentration is improved through the hydrogen concentration sensors with different measuring ranges.
When the concentration of the gas to be detected is smaller than the preset range value of the hydrogen concentration sensor, the hydrogen concentration sensor is in a non-working state after delaying the preset time, so that the problem that detected hydrogen concentration data are unstable in the switching process of the hydrogen concentration sensors with different ranges is solved.
It should be noted that the operating state refers to that hydrogen can enter the hydrogen concentration sensor, and the hydrogen concentration sensor is in a state capable of detecting the hydrogen concentration; the non-operating state refers to a state in which the inlet end of the hydrogen concentration sensor is disconnected and hydrogen cannot pass through the hydrogen concentration sensor.
In some embodiments, the on-off valve 204 is disposed at the inlet and the outlet of the smaller range hydrogen concentration sensor, respectively, of the adjacent hydrogen concentration sensors, and the on-off valve 204 at the outlet of the smaller range hydrogen concentration sensor is communicated with the inlet of the larger range hydrogen concentration sensor, which is also communicated with the outlet of the hydrogen concentration detection module 2.
Taking the example that the hydrogen concentration detection module 2 includes 3 hydrogen concentration sensors with different measurement ranges, for convenience of description, the 3 hydrogen concentration sensors are respectively named as a first hydrogen concentration sensor 201, a second hydrogen concentration sensor 202, and a third hydrogen concentration sensor 203. The first hydrogen concentration sensor 201 is a hot-wire semiconductor type hydrogen concentration sensor, the second hydrogen concentration sensor 202 is a contact combustion type hydrogen concentration sensor, and the third hydrogen concentration sensor 203 is a gas heat conduction type hydrogen concentration sensor.
The preset time is 3s, namely when the concentration of the gas to be detected is smaller than the preset range value of the hydrogen concentration sensor, the hydrogen concentration sensor is delayed for 3s and enters a non-working state. It is understood that the preset time of 3s is only one preferred embodiment of the present invention, and in practical applications, the preset time may be set to be greater than or less than 3 s.
The preset range value is 98% of the range of the concentration sensor, and it should be noted that the preset range value is only one preferred embodiment of the present invention, and in practical applications, the preset range value may be set to be greater than or less than 98% of the range of the concentration sensor.
Specifically, the utility model discloses that the hydrogen concentration sensor is a pump-suction type hydrogen concentration sensor, and the outlet pressure of the fuel cell engine 5 is one atmospheric pressure or micro negative pressure, so that automatic air extraction and sampling are realized by adopting the pump-suction type hydrogen concentration sensor. Specifically, the pumping type hydrogen concentration sensor is a hydrogen concentration sensor with a built-in micro air pump.
Further, the utility model discloses that the outlet of the tail gas pretreatment module 1 is communicated with the inlet of the hydrogen concentration detection module 2 through a hose 6, and the hose 6 is adopted to facilitate the communication between the outlet and the inlet.

It is understood that the outside of the operating temperature range of the hydrogen concentration detection module 2 herein refers to a temperature greater than the maximum temperature value at which the hydrogen concentration detection module 2 can perform normal detection.
