Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system that includes several cell stacks, enabling a liquid to flow through all the cell stacks.
- Fuel cells have been identified as a relatively clean and efficient source of electrical power. Alkaline fuel cells are of particular interest because they operate at relatively low temperatures, are efficient and suitable for operation in an industrial environment.
- Acid fuel cells and fuel cells employing other aqueous electrolytes are also of interest.
- Such fuel cells typically comprise an electrolyte chamber separated from a fuel gas chamber (containing a fuel gas, typically hydrogen) and a further gas chamber (containing an oxidant gas, usually air) .
- the electrolyte chamber is separated from the gas chambers using electrodes.
- Typical electrodes for alkaline fuel cells comprise a conductive metal mesh, typically nickel, that provides mechanical strength to the electrode. Onto the metal mesh is deposited a catalyst which may for example contain activated carbon and a catalyst metal such as platinum.
- a single fuel cell does not produce a large voltage, and it is usually desirable to assemble a number of fuel cells into a stack to provide a larger electrical power output .
- the electrodes are arranged in substantially horizontal planes in a stack and are fed from a common source there will be a significant pressure difference between electrolyte chambers at different heights in the stack. If the electrodes are arranged in substantially vertical planes in a stack, there will be a pressure difference between the top and bottom of each electrolyte chamber. For an aqueous electrolyte the pressure difference is about 15 mbar (1.5 kPa) over a height difference of 150 mm. In fuel cell, the electrical performance of the cell is sensitive to any such pressure variations, so the pressure variations within a cell stack and between different cell stacks should be minimised.
- the system of the present invention addresses or mitigates one or more problems of the prior art.
- a system for supplying a liquid electrolyte to cell stacks arranged at a plurality of different heights, with at least one cell stack at each different height comprising a plurality of supply tanks for containing liquid electrolyte, one for each of the different heights, each supply tank being adapted to ensure that the surface of the liquid electrolyte is at atmospheric pressure and adapted to feed electrolyte to at least one cell stack, an electrolyte storage tank, and means to supply electrolyte from the electrolyte storage tank to the highest supply tank, wherein each supply tank incorporates an overflow weir and an outlet duct
- the cell stacks are preferably cell stacks through which electrolyte flows continuously, and out flowing electrolyte from each cell stack may be supplied to the electrolyte storage tank. This may simply involve a passive drainage duct communicating with the electrolyte storage tank, although it may also comprise a pump.
- the outlet from each cell stack may include a flow
- restriction for example a restricting aperture through a plate, or an adjustable valve.
- all these cell stacks are preferably fed from the same supply tank by respective feed ducts .
- the pressure drop along each feed duct should be
- these may be feed ducts of equal lengths and widths; or a single feed duct may split into a plurality of feed ducts each of
- each of these feed ducts may again split into a plurality of feed ducts so as to form a tree structure of successive splits.
- the electrolyte storage tank is below the lowest supply tank, and the outlet duct from the lowest supply tank feeds into the electrolyte storage tank.
- the means to supply electrolyte to the highest supply tank comprises a pump.
- the system may comprise a sump below the lowest supply tank, in which the used electrolyte is collected, and a pump to supply electrolyte from the sump into an electrolyte storage tank that is above the highest supply tank.
- the electrolyte storage tank may itself incorporate a constant head overflow feeding back to the sump, so ensuring that electrolyte is fed into the uppermost supply tank at a constant rate.
- the electrolyte is arranged to flow through each cell stack in a generally upward direction, being fed into the cell stack near the bottom of the cell stack and flowing upwardly through the electrolyte chambers to emerge from the outlet, this outlet being near the top of the cell stack.
- the out-flowing electrolyte emerging from the outlet is at near atmospheric pressure.
- each cell stack may be surrounded by a tank or box into which the outflowing electrolyte flows, the electrolyte trickling out of the cell stack into the tank, and then trickling out of an outflow duct to return to the sump or to the electrolyte storage tank.
- the cell stacks are fuel cell stacks that are being fed with a through flow of air, and are also being provided with a fuel gas such as hydrogen
- the air is also collected in the tank or box surrounding the cell stack, and is extracted through the same outflow duct. If there is any leakage of the fuel gas from the fuel cell stack, it will be carried along with the air flow and thereby diluted.
- the system may incorporate a sensor to detect any hydrogen in the air flow.
- the adjustable valve that provides the flow restriction at the outlet of each cell stack may need to be adjusted during setup of the system, but should not subsequently require adjustment.
- the system is particularly suited to fuel cell stacks, but it may also be utilised with electrolysis cell stacks, for example for electrolysis of water to generate hydrogen and oxygen.
- electrolysis cell stacks for example for electrolysis of water to generate hydrogen and oxygen.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a system of the invention incorporating sixteen fuel cell stacks arranged at four different levels;
- Figure 2 shows a vertical sectional diagram showing the flow connections between the components of the system of figure 1.
- a fuel cell consists of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, separated by an electrolyte, and each
- the electrode is in contact with a respective gas stream. Chemical reactions that take place at the electrodes cause ions to migrate through the electrolyte, and generate an electric current in an external circuit. It is customary to arrange fuel cells in stacks, to obtain a larger voltage or power output than is available from a single fuel cell. Each such fuel cell stack must be supplied with appropriate fluids .
- the electrolyte may be an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH), and the gas streams may be hydrogen, and air or oxygen.
- KOH potassium hydroxide
- the gas streams may be hydrogen, and air or oxygen.
- a system 10 of the invention is shown in which sixteen fuel cell stack modules 11 are arranged at four different heights, with a set of four fuel cell stack modules 11 at each different height.
- the four modules 11 of each set are level with each other.
- the system also includes four different constant head tanks 12, one for each of the sets of modules 11. Considering each constant head tank 12, electrolyte is fed out through an outlet duct 14 which branches into two ducts 15 at a T-junction, and each of these ducts 15 branches into another two ducts 16 at another T-junction.
- the ducts 16 feed into the four modules 11.
- the lengths and diameters of the ducts 16 are all equal; and the lengths and diameters of the ducts 15 are all equal; so the flow paths from the constant head tank 12 to each module 11 are all hydraulically equivalent .
- Each cell stack module 11 has an inlet for
- Each module 11 also has an outlet 19a near its base for electrolyte, which connects with an outlet duct 44 (shown in figure 2) .
- Each module 11 also has an inlet port 19b for air (communicating with the inlet duct 34 shown in figure 2) and an outlet port 19c for air (communicating with the outlet exhaust pipe 38 shown in figure 2); and an inlet port 19d for hydrogen and an outlet port 19e for hydrogen.
- the ducts for carrying hydrogen and air are not shown in figure 1, for clarity.
- each constant head tank 12 has an overflow duct 18 that carries excess
- a pump 24 is connected to the electrolyte storage tank 20, and supplies electrolyte through a riser pipe 26 into the constant head tank 12 at the highest level.
- the riser pipe 26 is shown as feeding the electrolyte into the top of the constant head tank 12, but in a modification it may instead feed the electrolyte into the side or the bottom of the highest constant head tank 12.
- the electrolyte storage tank 20 contains electrolyte, aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH) in this example.
- each constant head tank 12 the overflow duct 18 extends upwardly to about 25 mm below the top of the tank 12.
- the overflow duct 18 is open at both ends, and is of sufficiently large diameter to ensure that the
- each of the constant head tanks 12 therefore contains aqueous potassium hydroxide electrolyte up to the level of the top of the overflow duct 18, and excess electrolyte flows through each of the overflow ducts 18 and back to the electrolyte storage tank 20.
- each module 11 consists of a box 30 that encloses a fuel cell stack 32 whose electrode plates (represented diagrammatically) extend in vertical planes .
- Air is fed under pressure from an air supply duct (not shown) into each fuel cell stack 32 through an inlet duct 34 (which communicates with the inlet port 19b shown in figure 1) .
- the air is fed into the stack 32 near the top at the left hand end (as shown), flowing downwardly through the appropriate electrode chambers and emerging from an exhaust port 36 near the bottom at the right-hand end, which may incorporate a restrictor valve.
- the air emerges into the box 30, and is then exhausted via the air outlet port 19c into an air exhaust duct 38 that extends upwardly and is open at its upper end.
- One such air exhaust duct 38 is provided for four modules 11 that are one above the other.
- the electrolyte supply duct 16 supplies electrolyte to the fuel cell stack 32 through a port 41 near the bottom at the left hand end (as shown) .
- the electrolyte flows upwardly through the electrolyte chambers, and emerges from an outlet port 42 near the top at the right- hand end, which may incorporate a restrictor valve.
- the electrolyte emerges into the box 30, typically as a trickle, and flows out of an electrolyte outlet duct 44 which returns the electrolyte to the electrolyte storage tank 20 through a return pipe (not shown for the top three modules 11) .
- Each module 11 is also provided with a fuel gas, such as hydrogen, through a fuel gas feed duct (not shown) and the hydrogen inlet port 19d. If there is any leakage of the fuel gas from the fuel cell stack 32, it will be carried along with the air flow through the air exhaust duct 38 and thereby diluted.
- the system 10 may incorporate a hydrogen sensor 48 at the air outlet from the box 30 to detect any hydrogen in the air flow.
- each module 11, and so each fuel cell stack 32 is provided with the requisite supplies of fuel gas, air and electrolyte.
- the pump 24 supplies more electrolyte to the highest constant head tank 12 than is required by all the modules 11 in the entire system 10. Within each constant head tank 12 there is therefore excess electrolyte. The excess electrolyte is returned to the electrolyte storage tank 20 through the overflow pipes 18, while used electrolyte is returned to the electrolyte storage tank 20 via the boxes 30 and the electrolyte outlet ducts 44.
- shut-off valves 40 enable the supply of electrolyte to an individual module 11 to be shut-off without affecting the supply of electrolyte to other modules 11 either at the same level or at different levels in the system 10. Opening the valve 46 allows the electrolyte within the fuel cell stack 32 to drain out, flowing back out of the port 41, and through the valve 46 and the drain pipe 45, and so returning to the electrolyte storage tank 20.
- an electrolyte supply system 10 may differ from that described above, while remaining within the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims .
- each overflow duct 18 is of the same diameter, but in a modification the overflow ducts 18 might be of smaller diameter at the lower levels, because the quantity of excess electrolyte is less.
- the system 10 may be used with electrolysis cell stacks, or with flow batteries .
