Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel cell system with at least one fuel cell unit and a method for bedding the fuel cell system according to the preamble of the independent claims.
- WO 99/57335 AI is an arrangement; ;; -. known with fuel cells in which the use of explosion-protected components can be avoided.
- the corresponding area of the system is subjected to increased pressure, so that hydrogen infiltration is prevented.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a fuel cell system which is particularly suitable for mobile fuel cell systems.
- the fuel cell system is divided into different boxes, which are provided with their own housings.
- Components are arranged in a housing that operate at elevated operating temperatures, the housing being thermally insulated. All housings with components that contain or transport hydrogen are provided with a box ventilation agent.
- Box ventilation means are provided with a flushing gas supply line opening into a fuel cell box and a flushing gas outlet line opening out of the fuel cell box, an explosion-proof fan being located in the flushing gas supply line and / or in the flushing gas outlet line and / or there are ventilation means for a housing outside the fuel cell box with a Provided flushing gas supply line opening and a flushing gas outlet line opening out of the housing, in which housing components of the fuel cell system are combined, the ventilation means having an explosion-proof fan.
- the fuel cell system according to the invention has a fuel cell box and active ventilation, which can be operated independently of the fuel cell system.
- the operational safety of the fuel cell system is increased, and the accumulation of undesirable amounts of hydrogen and / or accumulations of fuel gases or fuel vapors in the system can be effectively avoided.
- an explosion-proof fan is specifically located in a flushing gas line, via which a flushing medium can be introduced into and removed from the fuel cell box in order to vent it.
- 1 is a schematic block diagram of a fuel cell system with ventilated fuel cell box and explosion-proof fan in the associated flushing medium line,
- FIG. 2 shows a preferred arrangement of a fuel cell box, a peripheral box and a gas generation system box
- Fig. 3 shows a further preferred arrangement of a fuel cell box, a ' peripheral box and a gas generation system box with hydrogen sensors and
- Fig. 4 shows another preferred arrangement of a gas generation system box with hydrogen sensors.
- 1 illustrates a fuel cell system with one or more fuel cell units or fuel cell modules, which are arranged in a surrounding, largely closed fuel cell box 1.
- This box 1 is assigned ventilation means by means of which it can be ventilated with a flushing medium, in particular for the purpose of avoiding accumulation in the box volume of hydrogen which may leak from a fuel cell module as a result of leakage. All boxes containing components from which hydrogen can escape are provided with such aeration means.
- a gas generation system box 7 is provided, as indicated in FIG.
- the gas generation system box 7 is thermally insulated so that the components can work under favorable conditions.
- the box ventilation means include, for example, the fuel cell box 1, a flushing medium supply line 2 opening into the box 1 and a flushing medium outlet line 3 opening out on the opposite side or at a suitable location 3.
- the flushing medium supply line 2 is preferably located in the flushing medium supply line 2 an explosion-proof fan 4.
- a fan has encapsulated components in the electrical drive part and at other critical points, so that no sparking can occur in a sucked-in medium, which could lead to ignition of the medium.
- fans 4 are used, which can convey not only dry gases but also hot gases loaded with steam. This ensures that the fan 4 continues to function even at a gas temperature of approx. Maintains 80 ° C and a water vapor load of 100% relative humidity. This is particularly favorable for fuel cell systems with PEM fuel cells.
- a favorable operating point of the fan 4 can be in the range between 25 and 400 liters / minute with a pressure difference of 1 to 6 mbar.
- fans 4 with a stable operating point is also particularly advantageous, the fan 4 being provided with voltage-stabilizing means, preferably an electronic controller. Fan operation is then also possible with strongly fluctuating operating voltages. For example, voltage fluctuations between 9 and 16 volts can occur in vehicles with 12-volt electrical systems. With fuel cell vehicles, voltage fluctuations in the fuel cells must also be expected.
- a further box 6 is provided in the flushing medium supply line 2 in front of the fan 4, in which peripheral components of the fuel cell system are accommodated and which is also aerated thereby.
- This box is also known as the peripheral box.
- the fan 4 preferably draws in air as the flushing medium through the peripheral box 6, as a result of which hydrogen present in the peripheral box 6 is entrained by leakages.
- the fan 4 presses the flushing medium into the fuel cell box 1.
- the hydrogen present there is also removed from the Fuel cell box 1 entrained and blown out of the purge outlet line 3.
- an explosion-protected fan 4 ' can be provided in the section of the purge gas supply line 2 upstream of the peripheral box 6 or an explosion-protected fan 4' 'in the purge gas outlet line 3 of the fuel cell box 1. as indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 1.
- an accumulation of leakage hydrogen in the fuel cell box 1 and thus in the fuel line modules arranged in it can be effectively prevented by flushing with a flushing medium which can be driven only by the explosion-proof fan 4, 4 ', 4' 'without that further electrical flow drive components are absolutely necessary.
- Air and / or exhaust gas from the fuel cell system is preferably used as the flushing medium.
- the use of explosion-proof fans 4, 4 ', 4' ' makes it possible to use ambient air as the flushing medium.
- the boxes 1 and 6 can also be interchanged so that the fan 4, 4 ', 4''the flushing medium through Sucks fuel cell box 1 and presses it into the peripheral box 6 and finally discharges it through a purge gas outlet line of the peripheral box 6.
- Fuel cell systems some of which are illustrated in the exemplary embodiment described above, show a surprisingly good effect.
- the power requirement of the explosion-proof fans 4, 4 ', 4' ' is low enough to be provided by a vehicle battery. When used in potentially explosive areas, this has the favorable effect that no complex protective measures are necessary.
- the risk of failure of explosion-proof fans 4, 4 ', 4' ' is extremely low.
- the supply of the fan with its own energy source ensures that active ventilation of the fuel cell system with fresh air or an inert flushing medium is possible even when the fuel cell system is switched off. It goes without saying that, as required, the fuel cell system can be equipped with a plurality of such explosion-protected fans 4, 4 ', 4' 'at the positions illustrated in FIG. 1.
- housings or boxes in which components of the fuel cell system are combined can also be provided in the fuel cell system.
- Such boxes can be heated components such as evaporators, reformers and / or devices for cleaning fuel cell exhaust gas such as catalytic burners, etc. included.
- Ventilation means can also be provided there, which advantageously have an explosion-protected fan 4, 4 ', 4' 'in order to flush out areas or boxes at risk of explosion.
- the fan 4, 4 ', 4' ' can also be used in the area of peripheral units of the fuel cell and / or in the area of exhaust gas purification of the fuel cell system outside the fuel cell box.
- FIG. 2 shows a favorable arrangement of such boxes for a fuel cell system with a gas generation system.
- hydrogen is obtained from starting materials by, for example, reforming and fed to the fuel cell.
- the gas generation system is combined in a gas generation system box 7.
- the gas generation system box 7 is arranged in a flow arrangement with a peripheral box 6 and a fuel cell box 1, the peripheral box 6 being arranged between the gas generation system box 7 and the fuel cell box 1.
- the boxes 1, 6, 7 preferably have a common flushing line.
- a box 8 for supplying air to the fuel cell system with reaction air can also be connected to the fuel cell box 1.
- Such an arrangement is preferably used in fuel cell vehicles.
- a practical arrangement of the boxes is in the underfloor area of such a vehicle.
- the gas generation system box 7 and the fuel cell box 1 can be arranged parallel to one another in terms of flow technology and in series with the peripheral box 6. It is advantageous that the fuel cell system can be divided into different areas, for example different temperature zones.
- Such a modular structure facilitates maintenance and assembly or replacement of system components. Thermal insulation of the various boxes 1, 6, 7, 8 for setting the respectively favorable temperature range simultaneously leads to favorable acoustic insulation of the system.
- acoustic insulation is only required for one box, in order to dampen, for example, a disturbing noise development of a compressor when supplying air to the fuel cell unit. The individual components are still well protected from damage in a compact box.
- a particularly preferred embodiment consists of the arrangement of at least one gas generation system box 7, a peripheral box 6 and a fuel cell box 1, the gas generation system box 7 being thermally insulated and all boxes having a common flushing medium line with at least one explosion-protected fan 4.
- the arrangement of the components of the fuel cell system in boxes can also advantageously be designed in such a way that the boxes are suitably arranged in terms of density, mass and volume in the event of a crash, so that leakage of hydrogen in the event of a crash can be avoided.
- inert exhaust gas from the fuel cell is used for purging or venting the boxes.
- Exhaust gas from burner units downstream of the fuel cell can also be used. It is advantageous that, in the presence of hydrogen accumulations in a volume, no additional oxygen is supplied and the hydrogen content in the volume is greatly diluted by the exhaust gas.
- the exhaust gas can be collected in operation in a storage container, so that exhaust gas can also be flushed during the time when the fuel cell system is not active. Alternatively, it is also possible to purge with ambient air during operation with the fuel cell system switched off or to use a mixture of exhaust gas and air as the flushing medium.
- Exhaust gas is particularly preferably used for purging the gas generation system box. This can reliably prevent a flammable gas mixture from forming in the gas generation system box during normal operation due to leakage rates in the gas generation system. The atmosphere inside the gas generation system box is interacted with by the exhaust gas.
- One or more hydrogen sensors are particularly advantageously provided in the area of the gas generation system box 7 and / or the fuel cell box 1.
- a fan which flushes one or more of the boxes, together with a hydrogen sensor, which is arranged at the ventilation outlet of the box or boxes, forms a hydrogen leakage monitoring system for the installations in the box or boxes.
- the system works in such a way that when a predetermined limit concentration of hydrogen is exceeded, a warning message is triggered by the sensor and / or that the fuel cell system is switched off safely, preferably the fuel cell system is switched off at a concentration higher than the limit concentration.
- a peripheral box 6 Adjacent to a gas generation system box 7 is a peripheral box 6 and a fuel cell box 1 is arranged on this peripheral box 6.
- the fuel cell box 1 is followed by a process media supply box 8 with compressors and compressors for compressing and conveying process media, in particular process air.
- An explosion-proof fan 4 is provided on the peripheral box 6 and sucks a flushing medium, preferably air, through a flushing medium inlet 9 into the peripheral box 6.
- the flushing medium is after flushing the Peripheral box 6 pressed into the fuel cell box 1 by the fan 4, flushes the volume there and leaves the fuel cell box 1 through a flushing medium outlet 10.
- a first hydrogen sensor H1 is arranged at the flushing medium outlet 10 and detects the content of hydrogen in the media stream at the flushing medium outlet 10 , An increased hydrogen level at the hydrogen sensor H1 indicates an increased hydrogen accumulation in the fuel cell box 1 and can be used to switch the system into an uncritical state or to carry out an emergency shutdown.
- Exhaust gas from the fuel cell is preferably used as the flushing medium in the gas generation system box 7.
- cathode and anode exhaust gas from the fuel cell is fed to an afterburner 11. Downstream of the afterburner 11, the fuel cell exhaust gas is then practically free of combustible media and is therefore largely inert.
- the afterburner 11 is preferably provided in the gas generation system box 7 for the aftertreatment of fuel cell exhaust gas, to which an exhaust gas heat exchanger 12 connects, which can be heated by the waste heat of the afterburner 11. The exhaust gas is removed from the heat exchanger 12 in an exhaust line 13 from the gas generation system box 7.
- the exhaust gas downstream of the afterburner 11 can also be removed before or after the heat exchanger 12.
- the exhaust line 13 can also be connected to a storage for the exhaust gas, which collects exhaust gas and makes it available for purging the system or parts of the system.
- the exhaust line 13 can also be connected to the flushing medium inlet 9, so that peripheral box 6 and fuel cell box 1 can also be flushed with exhaust gas.
- a branch 14 is provided in the interior of the gas generation system box 7, through which a partial flow of the exhaust gas as a purge medium is conducted into the interior of the gas generation system box 7. This exhaust gas flushes through the box 7 and entrains any hydrogen present.
- the temperature of the exhaust gas After passing through the exhaust gas heat exchanger 12, the temperature of the exhaust gas is lower than directly at the outlet of the afterburner.
- the cooled, essentially inert flushing medium passes through a flushing medium outlet 15 into a line 16 which has a second hydrogen sensor H2.
- the exhaust gas temperature is now uncritical for the hydrogen sensor H2, so that sensors can also be used whose operating temperature is below 100 ° C., preferably below 80 ° C.
- the flushing medium outlet line 16 can lead outside, preferably when the exhaust line 13 opens into a memory, or can be brought together with the exhaust line 13.
- the various boxes 1, 6, 7 and / or 8 with a common housing, the individual boxes then being able to form individual areas within the common housing.
- the areas can preferably be spatially separated from one another and / or can also be separated from one another by walls within the housing. This further increases crash safety and noise insulation.
