Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a fuel cell gas circulation system including a working fluid source 100, a fuel cell 200, a condenser 300, and an ejector 400. The ejector 400 is disposed between the working fluid source 100 and the anode inlet of the fuel cell 200; the condenser 300 is disposed between the anode outlet 210 of the fuel cell 200 and the ejector 400.
Specifically, fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of an ejector according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Referring to fig. 2, the ejector 400 includes a suction chamber 410, and the working fluid source 100, the condenser 300, and the anode outlet 210 are respectively connected to the suction chamber 410. The working fluid, condensed water in the condenser 300, and a portion of the anode exhaust gas of the anode outlet 210 can enter the suction chamber 410. The condensed water in the condenser 300 and a portion of the anode exhaust gas from the anode outlet 210 are two pilot streams from the ejector 400. The addition of the condensed water can increase the water content in the mixed gas sprayed out of the outlet of the ejector 400, meet the required water-carbon ratio requirement, effectively meet the high water-carbon ratio requirement of the fuel cell 200, prevent carbon deposition and prolong the service life of the fuel cell.
More specifically, the intake chamber 410 is provided with a working fluid inlet duct 420, a first jet inlet 430, and a second jet inlet 440. The working fluid inlet pipe 420 communicates with the working fluid source 100, is coaxially disposed in the suction chamber 410, and is inserted from the head end of the suction chamber 410. The first jet stream inlet 430 communicates with the anode outlet 210 and the second jet stream inlet 440 communicates with the condenser 300 outlet. Preferably, the first injection inflow port 430 and the second injection inflow port 440 are respectively provided at the upper and lower sides of the suction chamber 410 and are disposed opposite to each other, so that the condensed water and a part of the anode exhaust gas are mixed at the moment of entering the suction chamber 410, and the efficiency of fluid mixing is improved.

The working fluid nozzle 421 is designed to be variable in diameter, and the inner diameter of the working fluid nozzle 421 is gradually decreased and then gradually increased in a direction away from the inlet end of the working fluid inlet pipe 420. By the above arrangement, when the working fluid is sprayed from the working fluid nozzle 421 to the suction chamber 410, supersonic flow can be formed, and suction effect is formed on the anode exhaust gas of the first injection inlet 430 and the condensed water in the second injection inlet 440, so that mixing efficiency of the working fluid, the condensed water and the anode exhaust gas in the suction chamber 410 is increased, and suction speed of the anode exhaust gas in the first injection inlet 430 and the condensed water in the second injection inlet 440 is increased.
More specifically, the eductor 400 also includes a mixing chamber 450. The mixing chamber 450 communicates with the suction chamber 410 and has a smaller inner diameter relative to the suction chamber 410, downstream of the suction chamber 410. The working stream, the condensed water in the second jet stream inlet 440, and the anode exhaust in the first jet stream inlet 430 can be mixed in the mixing chamber 450 to form a mixed fluid.
More specifically, the ejector 400 also includes a diffuser chamber 460. The diffuser 460 is in communication with the mixing chamber 450 and downstream of the mixing chamber 450, with the diffuser 460 having an inner diameter that gradually increases in a direction away from the inlet of the diffuser 460 and toward the outlet of the diffuser 460. That is, the mixed fluid mixed in the mixing chamber 450 can complete the pressurizing and decelerating process in the diffuser chamber 460 and then be discharged from the outlet of the diffuser chamber 460.
With continued reference to fig. 1, a reformer 500 is disposed between the outlet of the diffusion chamber 460 and the anode inlet of the fuel cell 200. The reformer 500 is used for performing a reforming reaction on the mixed fluid to produce hydrogen, which is the anode gas of the fuel cell 200, and enters the fuel cell 200 from the anode inlet thereof to participate in an electrochemical reaction. The reformer 500 is a prior art, and the structure and principle of this embodiment are not described herein.
Specifically, the fuel cell 200 is a solid oxide fuel cell in which an anode gas and a cathode gas can electrochemically react to generate electric power. The anode gas is hydrogen and the cathode gas is air. The fuel cell gas circulation system further comprises an air source 900, the air source 900 being in communication with the cathode inlet of the fuel cell 200, the air source 900 being adapted to provide a cathode oxidant, i.e. oxygen, to the fuel cell 200.
More specifically, the fuel cell 200 is further provided with a cathode outlet 220. The cathode outlet 220 is used to discharge cathode exhaust gas after electrochemical reaction of the fuel cell 200. The anode outlet 210 is used to discharge anode off-gas after electrochemical reaction of the fuel cell 200.
More specifically, the anode outlet 210 is for discharging anode exhaust gas in the reaction of the fuel cell 200, and is provided with two branches, a first anode outlet branch 211 and a second anode outlet branch 212, respectively. The anode off-gas discharged from the anode outlet 210 flows partially to the first anode outlet branch pipe 211 and partially to the second anode outlet branch pipe 212.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the condenser 300 is disposed in the second anode outlet manifold 212 and is capable of condensing a portion of the anode exhaust gas from the anode outlet 210 to produce condensed water. A gas-liquid separator 600 is disposed between the outlet of the condenser 300 and the second jet stream inlet 440. The gas-liquid separator 600 serves to separate the condensed water and the anode gas discharged from the outlet of the condenser 300. The gas-liquid separator 600 is provided with a liquid outlet communicating with the second ejector inflow port 440 and a gas outlet 610 communicating with the external environment for discharging gaseous substances in the fluid discharged from the outlet of the condenser 300.
Specifically, the working fluid source 100 is a fuel tank capable of providing high pressure fuel as a working fluid to the ejector 400 according to the requirements of the fuel cell gas circulation system. A heat exchanger 700 is provided in a communication line between the working fluid inlet pipe 420 and the working fluid source 100. And the first injection flow inlet 430 is in communication with the heat exchanger 700, the working stream being capable of exchanging heat in the heat exchanger 700 with the anode exhaust gas that is about to enter the first injection flow inlet 430. Since the anode exhaust gas exiting through the anode outlet 210 itself has some heat, the working stream is able to achieve a temperature rise in the heat exchanger 700, facilitating subsequent mixing of the working stream with the two induced streams.
Preferably, the fuel cell gas circulation system further comprises a regulating valve assembly provided at the anode outlet 210, capable of regulating the flow rate of the anode exhaust gas entering the first ejector inflow port 430; and, the regulator valve assembly is also capable of regulating the flow of anode exhaust gas into the condenser 300.
Specifically, the regulator valve assembly includes a first regulator valve 810, the first regulator valve 810 disposed between the anode outlet 210 and the first jet stream inlet 430, capable of regulating the flow of anode exhaust gas into the first jet stream inlet 430. Likewise, the fuel cell gas circulation system further includes a second regulating valve 820, the second regulating valve 820 being disposed between the anode outlet 210 and the condenser 300, capable of regulating the flow rate of anode off-gas entering the condenser 300. Through the first regulating valve 810 and the second regulating valve 820, component regulation of the mixed fluid can be realized, so that decoupling of injection ratio and water-carbon ratio can be realized, and wider working condition operation can be satisfied. Alternatively, the regulator valve assembly may be a three-way valve of the prior art, and the present embodiment is not limited in the type of regulator valve assembly.
Preferably, the fuel cell gas circulation system further includes a workflow regulating valve 830, the workflow regulating valve 830 being disposed between the workflow inflow pipe 420 and the outlet of the workflow source 100, and being capable of regulating the flow rate of the workflow entering the suction chamber 410 according to the need.
The working process of the fuel cell gas circulation system provided in this embodiment is as follows:
the high-pressure fuel in the working fluid source 100 passes through the working fluid regulating valve 830, enters the heat exchanger 700, exchanges heat with the high-temperature anode exhaust gas of the fuel cell 200 to raise temperature, then enters the suction chamber 410 through the working fluid inlet pipe 420, forms supersonic flow at the outlet of the working fluid nozzle 421, and sucks two diversion flows. The two pilot streams and the working stream mix in the mixing chamber 450 and complete the pressurization and deceleration process in the diffuser chamber 460. The mixed fluid enters the reformer 500 to undergo a reforming reaction, and the reaction product enters the fuel cell 200 to undergo an electrochemical reaction with a cathode oxidant from the air source 900 to generate electric power. The cathode exhaust of the fuel cell 200 exits through the cathode outlet 220 and the anode exhaust enters the two diversion flow loops, namely the first anode outlet leg 211 and the second anode outlet leg 212, through the anode outlet 210.
Downstream of the first anode outlet leg 211, a portion of the anode exhaust gas enters the heat exchanger 700 through the first regulator valve 810 to exchange heat with the working stream and is then drawn into the suction chamber 410 through the first jet stream inlet 430. Downstream of the second anode outlet leg 212, another portion of the anode exhaust gas passes through a second regulator valve 820 to the condenser 300 to condense water vapor in this portion of the anode exhaust gas to liquid water before entering the gas-liquid separator 600. The gaseous materials in the portion of the anode exhaust are discharged through the gas outlet 610, and the condensed water flows into the suction chamber 410 through the second injection flow inlet 440. The anode exhaust and condensed water entering the suction chamber 410 through the first jet inlet 430 are thoroughly mixed with the supersonic working stream in the mixing chamber 450, completing the jet process.
The control strategy of the fuel cell gas circulation system is as follows:
the flow rate of the workflow is first determined according to the required power of the fuel cell 200, and is adjusted to meet the demand by the workflow adjusting valve 830. For example, when the actual flow rate of the working fluid is higher than the demand of the fuel cell 200, the opening degree of the working fluid regulating valve 830 is decreased; conversely, when the actual flow rate of the working fluid is lower than the demand of the fuel cell 200, the opening degree of the working fluid regulating valve 830 needs to be increased.
Then, calculating the corresponding water-carbon ratio requirement, and if the water-carbon ratio is higher than the required water-carbon ratio, adjusting the opening of the second regulating valve 820 or increasing the opening of the first regulating valve 810 to reduce the water content of the induced flow; if the water to carbon ratio is lower than the desired water to carbon ratio, the opening of the second regulator valve 820 may be increased or the opening of the first regulator valve 810 may be decreased to increase the draw stream water content.
