Description
The present invention relates to an indoor humidity control system for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.
When the air conditioner or the heater is operated with the window of the vehicle fully closed, a cold air or a warm air generated from the air conditioner or the heater absorbs or evaporates moisture in the vehicle space in a short time, thereby making the room dry.
For this reason, for example, when the car is operated for a long time with the air conditioner or heater running, the possibility of respiratory illness becomes very high and the nose is actually clogged, the skin becomes dry or a dry cough occurs.
Accordingly, in recent years, a humidifier which can be used in a vehicle has been popularly used. The humidifier for the vehicle maintains the humidity of the enclosed indoor space to some extent to protect the respirator and prevent the generation of static electricity when the vehicle is operated during the summer or winter season.
On the other hand, the most basic method of humidification in a vehicle is to use a humidifier disposed at an appropriate position in a vehicle interior. However, in this case, there is a disadvantage that the water inside the humidifier is dislocated severely depending on the vibration generated when the vehicle moves or the flow of the vehicle, and the power for operating the humidifier is supplied from the battery of the vehicle, It is not easy to fix the vehicle to the inside of the vehicle.
Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2007-062519 (a humidifying device for an air conditioner for a vehicle) discloses a technique of using moisture formed in a refrigerant pipe included in an air conditioner of a vehicle and a heat exchange fin.
As is known in the art, among the various components constituting the air conditioner, a refrigerant pipe through which the expanded low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant flows, and a heat-exchanging pin formed outside the refrigerant pipe through the expansion valve are included. The moisture due to the temperature difference between the outside air and the refrigerant is formed on the surface of the refrigerant pipe and the heat exchange fin.
The above-mentioned prior art has a principle of using moisture formed on the surfaces of the refrigerant pipe and the heat exchange fin. That is, the moisture formed on the surface of the refrigerant pipe and the heat exchange fin is supplied to the interior of the vehicle by using a blower or the like to humidify the indoor air.
However, when the surface of the refrigerant pipe and the heat exchanging fin are contaminated, the conventional humidification apparatus has a problem that impurities are contained in the moisture formed on the surface of the refrigerant pipe and the heat exchanging fin, . The internal environment of the vehicle is rather bad.
Moreover, since moisture is not formed when the air conditioner is not used, humidification itself is impossible. It is not possible to humidify the indoor space during winter when it is necessary.
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a hydrogen fuel cell which can recycle water generated as a result of a chemical reaction in the hydrogen fuel cell to humidify the interior of the vehicle, And an object of the present invention is to provide an indoor humidity control system for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle which can maintain the indoor humidity appropriately and enable more comfortable driving as long as the vehicle is running.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an indoor humidity control system for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, including: a hydrogen tank in which hydrogen is stored; a fuel cell stack that receives hydrogen from the hydrogen tank to produce electric power; A water tank installed in a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle including a motor for receiving the electric power and rotating the wheels to maintain indoor humidity of the vehicle within a set range and storing water generated in the fuel cell stack; A humidifier disposed in an interior space of the vehicle; A water pump for pumping water contained in the water tank and supplying the water to the humidifier; A sensor unit installed in a vehicle and sensing the humidity of the room; And a control unit connected to the sensor unit and controlling the water supply pump and the humidifier based on the humidity information sensed by the sensor unit.
In addition, the vehicle interior further includes a display unit connected to the sensor unit and informing the vehicle occupant of the sensed contents of the sensor unit.
The water tank may further include a first water level sensor for sensing the amount of water stored in the water tank and transmitting the information to the controller so as to allow the controller to determine whether to operate the water pump. do.
The humidifier may further include a second water level sensor for sensing a remaining amount of water in the humidifier and transmitting the information to the controller to determine whether the humidifier and the water supply pump operate.
Further, between the water supply pump and the humidifier, And a sterilizing unit for sterilizing the water that has passed through the filter unit is further provided.
The indoor humidity control system for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle according to the present invention as described above can recycle water generated as a result of a chemical reaction in a hydrogen fuel cell to humidify the interior of the vehicle, As long as the vehicle travels without needing to do so, the humidity of the room is appropriately maintained to enable more comfortable driving.
1 is a block diagram for explaining an overall configuration of an indoor humidity control system for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, one embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Basically, the basic concept of the indoor humidity control system for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle according to the present embodiment is that the water generated naturally during the operation of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is recycled and used for humidification of the room. In particular, since the indoor humidity of the vehicle is monitored in real time and the humidity is maintained within the set range, a more pleasant indoor environment can be realized.
