The present invention relates to a fuel cell system, and more particularly, to a vacuum package type fuel cell system capable of improving thermal efficiency and output efficiency by integrally packing a high temperature stack and a fuel reformer.

A fuel cell is a power generation system that converts energy contained in a fuel into electrical energy directly by chemical reaction. For example, fuel cells generate electrical energy using a reaction in which water is generated from hydrogen and oxygen, that is, a combustion reaction of hydrogen. Such fuel cells are classified into phosphoric acid fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, polymer electrolyte fuel cells, alkaline fuel cells, and the like, depending on the type of electrolyte used. Each of these fuel cells basically operates on the same principle, but differs in the type of fuel used, operating temperature, catalyst, and electrolyte.

Among them, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEEMFC) or proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has much higher output characteristics than other fuel cells, low operating temperature, and fast start-up and response characteristics. A wide range of applications, such as transportable power sources such as portable electronic devices or transport power sources such as automotive power sources, as well as distributed power sources such as stationary power plants of houses and public buildings. On the other hand, a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) using liquid methanol fuel directly as a kind of polymer electrolyte fuel cell is more advantageous for miniaturization because it does not use a reformer unlike a polymer electrolyte fuel cell.

The polymer electrolyte fuel cell is usually manufactured in a stack structure to be suitable for high power. The stack is a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) that separates the cathode and the anode, passes the ionic material produced by the electrochemical reaction, and generates electricity by electromotive force generated at the cathode and the anode, It is coupled to the electrodes of the electrode assembly and has a structure in which a separator serving as a current collector of each electrode and a supply of fuel and an oxidant together with a function of transferring electrons between the electrodes, and exhausting a reaction product, are alternately stacked.

The membrane-electrode assembly of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell is composed of a polymer electrolyte membrane and porous anode electrodes and cathode electrodes located on both sides thereof. Currently used as polymer electrolyte membranes are perfluorosulfonic acid based ion exchange membranes with sulfonic acid groups (-SO ₃ H) and utilize the inherent proton conduction properties of sulfonated polymers. For example, Nafion membrane, Gore membrane, Flemion membrane, Aciplex membrane, etc. are mainly used. The equivalent weight (EW) per ion exchange equivalent is about 1,000 (g / weight), depending on the termination of the membrane. It absorbs up to about 10 moles of water per mole of sulfonic acid group and exhibits a high proton conductivity of about 0.1 Scm ⁻¹ . The polymer electrolyte fuel cell using the polymer electrolyte membrane generally has an operating temperature of 60 to 80 ° C. due to the nature of the sulfonic acid polymer, and can be exhibited only when humidified from the outside. However, in the polymer electrolyte fuel cell, a humidifier is required to supply adequate moisture to the polymer membrane during operation. Therefore, the polymer electrolyte fuel cell has a disadvantage in that the system becomes large and complicated because water management must be performed separately.

In order to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, recently, fuel cell systems that operate at high temperatures and do not require humidification from the outside have been newly studied. For example, it is reported that a fuel cell using a polymer such as polybenzimidazole (PBI), which is not a conventional sulfonated polymer, as an electrolyte can be operated without humidification from the outside at a high temperature of 120 to 200 ° C. .

On the other hand, since the polymer electrolyte fuel cell uses hydrogen as a fuel, a system for supplying hydrogen is required. However, hydrogen is most suitable as a fuel for fuel cells because it is most responsive to the electrochemical oxidation reaction occurring at the anode electrode of the fuel cell and does not generate pollutants by generating water after reacting with oxygen. However, hydrogen as a fuel contains other fuels that are relatively easy to store, such as gasoline, diesel, methanol, ethanol, natural gas, city gas, etc., because they are rarely present in nature and are expensive to store hydrogen. It is common to obtain one fuel by reforming. As such, the polymer electrolyte fuel cell requires a fuel reformer for reforming fuel to generate hydrogen. It has the problem of increasing the volume of the system and reducing the efficiency. In addition, since the fuel reformer operates at a high temperature, it is difficult to link with an existing stack in which the polymer electrolyte membrane may be damaged by the high temperature fuel.

An object of the present invention is to provide a package type fuel cell system that can improve thermal efficiency and output efficiency by integrally packing a high temperature stack and a fuel reformer operating at a temperature of about 120 to 200 ° C.

And an at least one opening through which a plurality of discharge pipes for passing unreacted fuel and reaction products of the stack pass. Here, the outlet for outflowing the reformed gas from the fuel reformer and the anode inlet of the stack are connected inside the housing. In addition, an inlet pipe for supplying reformed fuel to the fuel reformer is installed to pass between the stack and the fuel reformer for heating the reformed fuel.

In addition, the electrolyte membrane is made of phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI).

In addition, the electrolyte membrane is selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfonated polybenzimidazole, alkylphosphonated polybenzimidazole, phosphoric acid-containing acrylic monomer polymer, polybenzimidazole / strong acid complex, basic polymer / acid polymer complex and derivatives thereof Consists of at least one.

Next, the housing 130 will be described in more detail.

The housing 130 is a means for packaging the fuel cell stack 110 and the fuel reformer 120 in a single package so that the thermal energy generated in the stack 110 is used in the fuel reformer 120 without being discharged to the outside. As mentioned above, the housing 130 may be implemented by a vacuum packaging means or a molding member.

Here, the inlet pipe 129a for supplying the reformed fuel to the fuel reformer 120 is installed to pass between the stack 110 and the fuel reformer 120 for heating the reformed fuel. In this case, by preheating the reformed fuel introduced into the fuel reformer 120, the efficiency of the reforming reaction can be improved.

Of course, the oxidant supply can be replaced by other means such as a blower instead of an air pump. The oxidant includes air or pure oxygen.

The controller 150 receives a temperature detection signal from the temperature sensor 146 that measures the temperature of the reformed gas passing through the transfer pipe 129b, and controls the temperature of the reformed gas based on the temperature detection signal. For example, if the temperature of the reformed gas is higher than the operating temperature range of the stack 110, the controller 150 decreases the supply amount of the combustion fuel or the oxidant supplied to the heat source unit to lower the temperature of the heat source unit, or the stack. If it is lower than the operating temperature range of 110, the temperature of the reformed gas is controlled by increasing the temperature of the heat source part by increasing the supply amount of combustion fuel or oxidant supplied to the heat source part.

According to the above configuration, the stack 110 and the fuel reformer 120 are packaged in the housing 130 to block heat, and the temperature of the reformed gas supplied from the fuel reformer 120 to the fuel cell stack 110 is appropriately adjusted.
