Definitions
- the invention relates to fuel cells, such as those used in modern vehicles for traction purposes. Typically, groups of fuel cells are combined into so-called stacks.
- non-humidified or partially humidified fuel cells are often used at high operating temperatures and low pressures.
- the equipment required for gas / gas humidification devices is omitted or the cooler surface - necessary for the condensation - can be moved.
- the vehicle cooler can be reduced due to the high operating and thus cooling water temperatures of the fuel cell, and the compressor output can be reduced due to the low operating pressure.
- the oxygen or hydrogen partial pressure at the channel entrance is significantly (often 1.5 to 3 times) greater than at the exit.
- the result is inhomogeneous reaction distribution and the risk of local overheating (so-called hot spots).
- the distributor plate (A) of a fuel cell has a channel region (B) with a plurality of parallel gas channels (C). These gas channels (C) run from a port area (D), which is used for the gas supply, to a port area (E), via which the gas is discharged. Connection channels (F) run between the port area (D) and the gas channels (C). A local metering of fresh, unused gas from the port area (D) into the gas channels (C) is possible via these connecting channels (F).
- the connecting channels (F) Due to a reduced cross section of the connecting channels (F) compared to the gas channels (C), the volume flow of the fresh gas flow is metered in such a way that the local moisture present in the gas channel (C) is sufficient to prevent the MEA from drying out. Since the connecting channels (F) are connected to a common supply port (D), influencing the gas composition always affects the entire cell.
- the present invention is based on this arrangement as the closest prior art. It is based on the task of developing a fuel cell in which the gas composition can be influenced individually in different areas of a cell.
- the problems described are solved with the aid of an advantageous flow guidance over several fields within a fuel cell.
- a relatively small and unsaturated gas stream is added to the cell.
- this gas flow can be smaller than the gas flow consumed on the entire active cell area of the bipolar plate. Due to the small amount of gas, less moisture is extracted from the MEA in the entrance area. In addition, the gas flow is moistened faster by the product water production of the cell or saturated with water vapor.
- the partially depleted anode or cathode gas is led into a port outside the active cell area, mixed there with fresh gas and then into a further field of the anode or Forwarded cathode.
- the gas mixture is advantageously carried out separately between the anode and cathode gas stream and can be used several times along the gas channels of a bipolar plate. This allows the moisture content of the cathode or anode gases to be set and optimized locally.
- FIG. 2 shows a flow field structure according to the invention of a cell with two fields and the associated arrangement of the ports for the inlet and outlet of the reactants and the cooling medium.
- reaction substances are understood to mean all substances involved in the electrochemical reaction, that is to say both starting materials, such as, for example, H 2 and O 2 , and products, such as, for example, H0, and mixtures thereof.
- the active cell area (bipolar plate) is here - as the simplest variant - divided into only two fields (1, 2), each field having at least one gas distributor structure on the anode and cathode side (not shown).
- the fresh cathode gas enters the first field (1) through an input port (4a), is partially depleted there by the fuel cell process taking place and is conducted into the output port (4b) of field 1.
- the resulting gas mixture of depleted gas from the previous field and the fresh gas then enters the channel structure of the subsequent field (2), is partially depleted there by the fuel cell process taking place and is transferred to the output port (6b) of the
- the gas supply to the anode can be carried out analogously to the flow guidance and gas mixture described on the cathode side:
- the fresh anode gas enters the first field (1) through an input port (3a), is partially depleted there by the fuel cell process taking place and is passed into the output port (3b) of the field (1). Either there or in the subsequent input port (5a) of the following field (2) it is mixed with fresh gas via an adjustable inlet port (10). It is also possible to combine the two latter ports (3b, 5a) or to supply fresh gas in a separate room.
- the resulting gas mixture of depleted gas from the previous field (1) and the fresh gas then enters the channel structure of the following field (2), is again partially depleted there by the fuel cell process taking place and is fed into the output port (5b) of the field ( 2) headed. Either the anode gas then leaves the stack or fresh gas enrichment takes place in the manner described above for downstream fields. Several fields are therefore also conceivable on the anode side.
- the anode and / or cathode of field 2 or other fields can only be supplied directly with unused gas.
- the gas flows of the individual fields can also be combined in such a way that the emerging cathode or anode gas flows of several fields with or without fresh gas enrichment are passed completely or partially into further fields.
- fields at a lower temperature level can supply fields with their escaping moist gas flow which are at a higher temperature level and are therefore exposed to a greater risk of drying out.
- FIG. 1 only provides one output (8) and one input port (7) for all fields of a cell.
- fields can also be supplied with an additional input and output port for the cooling medium (not shown).
- the incoming and outgoing cooling media flows of the individual fields can be combined with each other.
- cooling medium flows of certain fields can either be merged or divided and then completely or partially introduced into another field.
- the schematically represented channel structures between the input and output ports represent only one possibility of designing the channel structure. Basically, serpentine, parallel, branched and / or nubbed structures are conceivable.
- the moisture and the oxygen or hydrogen content of the cathode and anode gases can be before being evenly distributed. Dehydration can thus be reduced or eliminated.
- targeted gas admixture can also influence the reaction distribution in the cell, so that local hot spots can be largely avoided.
- the various fields are each equipped with temperature sensors. The respective gas composition and / or the coolant flow can thus be set to the optimum operating values as a function of the respective field temperature.
