本発明の燃料電池システムによれば、凝縮水タンクの構造を簡素化でき、そのためコスト低減が図れ、かつメンテナンスも容易にすることができる。   According to the fuel cell system of the present invention, the structure of the condensed water tank can be simplified, so that the cost can be reduced and the maintenance can be facilitated.

第1の発明は、燃料ガスと酸化剤ガスを用いて発電を行う固体高分子形の燃料電池と、この燃料電池を冷却する冷却水を貯める冷却水タンクと、燃料電池より排出される排気燃料ガスおよび排気酸化剤ガスを凝縮した凝縮水を貯める大気に開放された凝縮水タンクと、この凝縮水タンク内の水位を一定に保持するフロートスイッチと、凝縮水タンク内の水を冷却水タンクに供給する水供給ポンプを設けた水供給路とを具備し、フロートスイッチの外周を囲むように筒形フイルタを設け、この筒形フイルタの下方の出口部と水供給路の入口部とを連通させ、前記筒形フィルタをメンテナンスする場合は前記筒形フィルタと前記フロートスイッチとを一体にして上方に取り外せるように構成されているものである。 According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a polymer electrolyte fuel cell that generates power using a fuel gas and an oxidant gas, a cooling water tank that stores cooling water for cooling the fuel cell, and exhaust fuel discharged from the fuel cell.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明するが、この実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。
(実施の形態1)
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1における固体高分子形の燃料電池システムの構成図である。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a solid polymer fuel cell system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

本実施の形態1における燃料電池システムには、燃料ガスと酸化剤ガスを用いて発電を行う固体高分子形の燃料電池11と、この燃料電池11を冷却する冷却水を貯める冷却水タンク12と、冷却水を循環させる冷却水路13と、冷却水を冷却水路13に循環させる手段としての冷却水ポンプ14と、冷却水を冷却する熱交換器15を有する。   The fuel cell system according to Embodiment 1 includes a solid polymer fuel cell 11 that generates power using fuel gas and an oxidant gas, and a cooling water tank 12 that stores cooling water for cooling the fuel cell 11. The cooling water passage 13 for circulating the cooling water, the cooling water pump 14 as means for circulating the cooling water to the cooling water passage 13, and the heat exchanger 15 for cooling the cooling water are provided.

また、この燃料電池システムは、燃料電池11より排出される排気燃料ガスを冷却し含まれる水蒸気を凝縮させる燃料側凝縮器16と、燃料電池11より排出される排気酸化剤ガスを冷却し含まれる水蒸気を凝縮させる空気側凝縮器17と、燃料側凝縮器16および空気側凝縮器17で凝縮した凝縮水を貯めるとともに大気に開放された凝縮水タンク18を有する。   In addition, the fuel cell system includes a fuel side condenser 16 that cools the exhaust fuel gas discharged from the fuel cell 11 and condenses the water vapor contained therein, and an exhaust oxidant gas that is discharged from the fuel cell 11. An air side condenser 17 that condenses water vapor, and a condensed water tank 18 that stores condensed water condensed by the fuel side condenser 16 and the air side condenser 17 and that is open to the atmosphere.

さらに、この燃料電池システムは、凝縮水タンク18内の水位を一定に保持するフロートスイッチ19と、凝縮水タンク18内の水を冷却水タンク12に供給する水供給ポンプ20を設けた水供給路21と、冷却水タンク12内部の余剰冷却水を排出する水排出路22とフロートスイッチ19の外周を囲むように設けた筒形フイルタ23と、この筒形フイルタ23の下方の出口部24と、出口部24と水供給路21の入口部25とを漏れなく連通させるパッキン26とを備えている。なお、フロートスイッチ19と水供給路21の入口部25の位置関係は同軸上である。   Further, this fuel cell system has a water supply path provided with a float switch 19 that keeps the water level in the condensed water tank 18 constant, and a water supply pump 20 that supplies the water in the condensed water tank 18 to the cooling water tank 12. 21, a water discharge path 22 for discharging excess cooling water inside the cooling water tank 12, a cylindrical filter 23 provided so as to surround the outer periphery of the float switch 19, an outlet portion 24 below the cylindrical filter 23, A packing 26 is provided that allows the outlet 24 and the inlet 25 of the water supply path 21 to communicate with each other without leakage. The positional relationship between the float switch 19 and the inlet portion 25 of the water supply path 21 is coaxial.

次に、本実施の形態における燃料電池システムの凝縮水タンク18の運転動作を説明する。   Next, the operation of the condensed water tank 18 of the fuel cell system in the present embodiment will be described.

燃料ガスと酸化剤ガスを燃料電池11に供給する。燃料電池11の電気化学反応によって酸化剤ガス側に水が生成される。燃料電池11から排出された酸化剤ガスは空気側凝縮器17に導かれ外気と熱交換することにより温度が低下し、排気燃料ガスに含まれる水蒸気は凝縮し水として凝縮水タンク18に回収される。   Fuel gas and oxidant gas are supplied to the fuel cell 11. Water is generated on the oxidant gas side by the electrochemical reaction of the fuel cell 11. The oxidant gas discharged from the fuel cell 11 is led to the air-side condenser 17 and the temperature is lowered by exchanging heat with the outside air, and the water vapor contained in the exhaust fuel gas is condensed and collected as water in the condensed water tank 18. The

一方、燃料電池11から排出された排気燃料ガスは燃料側凝縮器16に導かれ外気と熱交換することにより温度が低下し、排気燃料ガスに含まれる水蒸気は凝縮し水として凝縮水タンク18に回収される。   On the other hand, the exhaust fuel gas discharged from the fuel cell 11 is led to the fuel-side condenser 16 to exchange heat with the outside air, so that the temperature is lowered, and the water vapor contained in the exhaust fuel gas is condensed to the condensed water tank 18 as water. Collected.

さらに発電を行う燃料電池11の温度を70℃以上で一定に保つために冷却水路13を通して冷却水ポンプ14で水を循環させ熱交換器15において燃料電池11で発生した熱を外部へ放出する。また冷却水タンク12内部の冷却水が減少したときは水供給路21の水供給ポンプ20を作動させることにより冷却水タンク12に凝縮水タンク18の水を供給する。このとき水が過剰に入ったとしても水排出路22により余剰冷却水は凝縮水タンク18に排出される。   Further, in order to keep the temperature of the fuel cell 11 that generates power constant at 70 ° C. or higher, water is circulated by the cooling water pump 14 through the cooling water passage 13, and the heat generated in the fuel cell 11 in the heat exchanger 15 is released to the outside. When the cooling water in the cooling water tank 12 decreases, the water supply pump 20 in the water supply path 21 is operated to supply the water in the condensed water tank 18 to the cooling water tank 12. Even if water enters excessively at this time, the excess cooling water is discharged to the condensed water tank 18 through the water discharge path 22.

さらに冷却水タンク12の上方にある気体は水排出路22を通じて大気開放された凝縮水タンク18と接続されているため、冷却水タンク12内部の圧力は常に大気開放された状態と同等である。   Further, since the gas above the cooling water tank 12 is connected to the condensed water tank 18 opened to the atmosphere through the water discharge path 22, the pressure inside the cooling water tank 12 is always equivalent to the state opened to the atmosphere.

一方筒形フイルタ23により筒形フイルタ23内部は細菌などの侵入が極力無い状態が得られ、よってフロートスイッチ19の誤動作も防止できる。筒形フイルタ23の下方の出口部24と水供給路21の入口部25とはパッキン26を介して連通されており水供給ポンプ20も細菌などの侵入が極力無い状態が得られるため水供給ポンプ20の故障も防止できる。   On the other hand, the cylindrical filter 23 provides a state in which bacteria and the like are hardly invaded inside the cylindrical filter 23, so that the malfunction of the float switch 19 can be prevented. The outlet part 24 below the cylindrical filter 23 and the inlet part 25 of the water supply passage 21 are communicated with each other through a packing 26, and the water supply pump 20 is also in a state in which bacteria and the like do not enter as much as possible. Twenty failures can be prevented.

さらにはフロートスイッチ19と水供給路21の入口部25は同軸上であるため水供給ポンプ20動作時はフロートスイッチ19の回りは流水状態が得られることになり細菌がフロートスイッチ19に付着しにくくなる。   Furthermore, since the float switch 19 and the inlet 25 of the water supply path 21 are coaxial, when the water supply pump 20 is operated, a flowing water state is obtained around the float switch 19 and bacteria are less likely to adhere to the float switch 19. Become.

その効果はフロートスイッチ19と筒形フイルタ23との間隔を狭くする程顕著であり同時に全体構成のコンパクト化も図れる。万一、筒形フイルタ23のメンテナンス時は筒形フイルタ23とフロートスイッチ19が合体状態で上方に外せるためメンテナンスが容易で外した状態でも凝縮水タンク18の水が漏れることも無い。   The effect becomes more prominent as the distance between the float switch 19 and the cylindrical filter 23 is reduced, and at the same time, the overall configuration can be made compact. In the case of maintenance of the cylindrical filter 23, the cylindrical filter 23 and the float switch 19 can be removed upward in the combined state, so that maintenance is easy and the water in the condensed water tank 18 does not leak even when the cylindrical filter 23 is removed.

本発明の燃料電池システムは、凝縮水タンクの構造を簡素化できるためコスト低減を図ることができ、かつメンテナンスも容易にすることができるなど極めて有用である。   The fuel cell system of the present invention is extremely useful in that the structure of the condensed water tank can be simplified and the cost can be reduced and maintenance can be facilitated.
