Description
Gas Flow Control System
The present invention relates to a gas flow control system and, particularly, but not exclusively, to an arrangement for controlling air flow through the cathode side of a fuel cell.
A known type of fuel cell utilises a polymer electrolyte membrane having an anode side over which a stream of fuel gas, such as hydrogen, is passed, and a cathode side over which a stream of oxidant, typically air, is passed. When an electric load is connected between the anode and cathode of the fuel cell hydrogen ions migrate through the membrane to react with the oxygen on the cathode side thereby creating electricity for the load and a process product, water. The two streams of gas, which are separate, are maintained at a predetermined pressure and humidity for efficient operation of the fuel cell. The humidity is also necessary to ensure that the membrane does not dry out which would not only reduce its efficiency but can cause damage and a reduction in service life. It is also necessary to maintain a predetermined flow of the gases through the fuel cell to ensure that a sufficient quantity of hydrogen and oxygen are passed over the membrane for the electrochemical reaction to be at its most efficient and to ensure that the
amount of water and water vapour passing through the fuel cell is at a sufficient level to ensure that the membrane does not dry out but not so large as to block the flow of hydrogen and oxygen over the membrane and thereby reducing the efficiency of the fuel cell.
Under static conditions, the pressure and flow rate of the gases through the fuel cell is easily controlled, but is much more difficult under transient conditions, particularly the rapidly changing load requirements imposed on the fuel cell in automotive applications. When the electric load being drawn from the fuel cell increases, the flow of hydrogen through the fuel cell also increases and, similarly, when the load reduces, the flow of hydrogen reduces. As the hydrogen flow changes, so it is necessary to control the flow of air through the fuel cell to maintain the appropriate gas flow and pressure balance between the two streams .
In automotive applications, not only does the load change rapidly which requires a rapid response from the fuel cell control systems, but the load drawn varies from a minimum when operating under idle conditions up to a maximum for high-speed operation. It is therefore necessary for the air control system to have compressor means which is sufficient to generate the required pressure and mass flow for maximum output. However, under low load conditions the compressor means generates an excessive amount of pressure and mass flow and, to solve this problem, it is known to vent the excess pressure directly to atmosphere. Thus, under a large proportion of the fuel cell operating time, that is, under
low and medium load conditions, a proportion of the energy- used to drive the compressor means is wasted, which reduces the overall efficiency of the fuel cell. Additionally, venting the excess directly to atmosphere causes unnecessary noise .
The present invention seeks to provide an improved gas control system with improved efficiency.
According to the present invention that is provided a gas flow control system for a fuel cell arrangement having an inlet passage and an exhaust passage, including in the inlet passage in the direction of flow, successively, first compressor means, an intercooler for cooling the gas flow, second compressor means, and an aftercooler for cooling the gas flow exiting the second compressor means, characterized in that a bypass passage leads from the inlet passage at a point where the gas is compressed to the exhaust passage bypassing the fuel cell, the flow of gas through the bypass passage being controlled by valve means.
In one embodiment of the invention, the second compressor means comprises a turbocharger driven by the exhaust gas, and the bypass passage is connected between the outlet of the compressor of the turbocharger and the inlet to the exhaust driven turbine of the turbocharger. In another embodiment of the invention, the bypass passage leads from a point in the inlet passage between the first compressor means and the intercooler to the exhaust passage.
Preferably, the valve means comprises a bypass valve located in the bypass passage and the valve is controlled in dependence upon the pressure in the air stream passing through the fuel cell. When the pressure reaches a predetermined maximum, the bypass valve is opened so that the compressed air in the inlet passage is vented directly to the exhaust, bypassing the fuel cell.
In a preferred embodiment, the control system controls the flow of air through a cathode side of a fuel cell stack.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of an air control system according to the invention, and
Figure 2 shows an air control system in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to Figure 1, there is shown, in schematic form, flow passages and related control system for supplying compressed air to a fuel cell stack 1 and venting excess air to atmosphere. The system has an inlet passage 2 having, successively in the direction of air flow to the fuel cell stack 1, an air intake 3 with a filter 4, an intake air muffler 5, a first compressor 6, an intercooler 7, a second compressor 8, and an aftercooler 9 from where the compressed and cooled air is passed to the inlet 10 of the fuel cell stack 1. The fuel cell stack consists of a number of fuel cells assembled in series and/or in parallel to give the required output.
The first compressor 6 comprises a mechanically driven screw compressor driven by the vehicle engine (not shown) . Thus, the output of the first compressor 6 is directly proportional to the speed of the vehicle engine. The second compressor 8 comprises a turbo-charger having its compressor 11 in the input passage 2 and a drive turbine 12 driven by the exhaust stream passing through the exhaust passage 13 from the fuel cell stack 1.
The exhaust passage 13 from the fuel cell stack passes through the drive turbine 12 of the turbocharger to a silencer 14 from where it is vented to atmosphere. A bypass passage 15 extends from the inlet passage 2 downstream of the second compressor 8 into the exhaust passage 13 just upstream of the drive turbine 12 of the turbocharger. The flow of air from the inlet passage 2 to the exhaust passage 13 through the bypass passage 15 is controlled by an air bypass valve 16, which is in the form of a butterfly valve.
In operation, when the pressure of the air passing through the fuel cell stack 1 reaches a predetermined maximum value, the air bypass valve 16 is opened so that compressed intake air is passed to directly to the exhaust passage 13 just upstream of the drive turbine 12 of the turbocharger, thus bypassing the fuel cell stack 1.
Referring now to Figure 2, there is shown an alternative control system in which like parts have like reference numerals. In this embodiment the bypass passage 15 extends from a point 17 on the inlet passage 2 downstream of the
first compressor 6 to a point 18 in the exhaust passage 13 downstream of the drive turbine 12 of the turbocharger .
The arrangement shown in Figure 2 has a number of advantages. Firstly, a smaller bypass valve can be used compared with the arrangement shown in Figure 1 because the pressure drop across the valve is higher. Also, since the excess mass flow and pressure is drawn off before the intercooler 7, the load on the cooling system is reduced. Furthermore, because hot, substantially dry, air is being injected into the exhaust stream, the tendency for the water vapour in the exhaust air to condense in the end of the exhaust passage or at its exit is reduced.
