Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for recirculating anode gas in an anode circuit of a fuel cell system.
  • a device for recirculating anode gas in an anode circuit of a fuel cell system is also proposed.
  • the device enables the method according to the invention to be carried out.
  • the invention relates to a fuel cell system with a device according to the invention.
  • a fuel cell system includes at least one fuel cell, which can be used to convert a fuel, for example hydrogen, and an oxidizing agent, for example oxygen, into electrical energy, heat and water.
  • the fuel cell has an anode and a cathode.
  • the anode is supplied with the fuel and the cathode with the oxidizing agent.
  • the fuel is therefore the anode gas.
  • both jet pumps can be activated depending on the load.
  • both jet pumps can also be used for the recirculation of anode gas. In this way, a consistently high recirculation performance can be achieved, both at high and at low loads.
  • a high-load jet pump can be provided for high loads, which is then operated instead of or together with the low-load jet pump.
  • a valve is used to control at least one jet pump, via which fresh anode gas is supplied to the jet pump.
  • the jet pump can thus be controlled separately from the at least one other jet pump; in particular, the jet pump can be switched on or off.
  • the valve for controlling the jet pump or supplying fresh anode gas is preferably arranged upstream of a driving nozzle of the jet pump. With the help of the driving nozzle, a fluid jet of fresh anode gas is generated, which generates the pumping effect required for recirculation Accordingly, anode gas serves as the propellant medium. If the supply of fresh anode gas is prevented, the jet pump remains deactivated, which means that no depleted anode gas is drawn in from a recirculation line connected to the jet pump.
  • a metering valve preferably a metering valve with an integrated propulsion nozzle
  • a separate driving nozzle can thus be omitted.
  • the dosing valve can then be integrated into the jet pump instead of the driving nozzle. In this way a compact arrangement is created.
  • the pressure loss can also be reduced and the efficiency of the jet pump increased.
  • two jet pumps are advantageously used for the recirculation of anode gas, namely a low-load jet pump and a high-load jet pump. These are preferably connected in series in such a way that the low-load jet pump is upstream of the high-load jet pump.
  • the fresh fuel or anode gas quantity metered into the high-load jet pump therefore does not have to flow through the low-load jet pump, so that the pressure loss can be kept comparatively low.
  • the arrangement of the two jet pumps in series has the advantage over a parallel arrangement or connection that there is no risk of anode gas flowing back through the respective inactive jet pump.
  • at least one additional blocking element for example a non-return valve, is therefore always required. This can be omitted with jet pumps connected in series.
  • the additionally proposed device for the recirculation of anode gas in an anode circuit of a fuel cell system comprises at least two jet pumps connected in series, which can be operated individually or together depending on the load.
  • the proposed device is therefore particularly suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention described above.
  • the same advantages can thus be achieved with the aid of the device as with the aid of the method according to the invention described above.
  • a consistently high recirculation capacity can be provided because the jet pumps can be controlled separately from each other. There is no risk of anode gas flowing back through the respective inactive jet pump.
  • the series-connected jet pumps include a first jet pump for low loads and a further jet pump for high loads.
  • the low-load jet pump can then be operated at low load, and the high-load jet pump at high load.
  • the high-load jet pump is preferably downstream of the low-load jet pump. In this way, the pressure loss occurring when the two jet pumps flow through can be reduced.
  • At least one jet pump preferably has a valve in the area of an inlet for fresh anode gas.
  • the valve can in particular be a metering valve that enables fresh anode gas to be metered in precisely.
  • the valve is preferably arranged upstream of a propulsion nozzle integrated into the jet pump, with the aid of which the desired pumping effect can be achieved.
  • a metering valve with an integrated motive nozzle can be used in the inlet area, so that a separate motive nozzle is not required.
  • the device can be made more compact in this way.
  • the integrated propulsion nozzle is controlled with the help of the dosing valve.
  • jet pumps connected in series be structurally coupled. They preferably form a structural unit.
  • the jet pumps connected in series are arranged coaxially, so that a flow path through the first jet pump opens into an intake chamber of the downstream jet pump.
  • the supply of recirculated anode gas to the downstream jet pump is therefore axial, which leads to a reduction in flow losses.
  • fresh anode gas is preferably fed in from the side or radially.
  • At least one valve, preferably metering valve, for controlling a jet pump is aligned radially to the main direction of flow through the respective jet pump.
  • this is preferably a downstream jet pump.
  • the valve of the first jet pump can be arranged or aligned both axially and radially.
  • the device is arranged in an anode circuit of the fuel cell system.
  • the anode circuit preferably comprises an inflow path, via which a fuel cell stack of the fuel cell system can be supplied with anode gas, and a recirculation path, via which depleted anode gas exiting the fuel cell stack is recirculated.
  • the device according to the invention connects the recirculation path to the inflow path of the anode circuit. This means that the device is connected both to the inflow path and to the recirculation path.
  • at least one connection of the device to a storage facility for fresh anode gas is provided.
  • the fresh anode gas is introduced into a jet pump upstream of a driving nozzle with the aid of a valve, preferably a metering valve, so that a fluid jet is generated which achieves the desired pumping effect.
  • a valve preferably a metering valve
  • a dosing valve with an integrated motive nozzle can be used.

  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic longitudinal section through a device according to the invention according to a second preferred embodiment
  • FIG 3 shows a schematic longitudinal section through a device according to the invention according to a third preferred embodiment.
  • the device 10 shown in FIG. 1 can be used for the recirculation of anode gas in an anode circuit of a fuel cell system (not shown).
  • the device 10 has a first jet pump 1 and a second jet pump 2 .
  • the two jet pumps 1, 2 are connected in series and arranged coaxially, so that a diffuser 15 of the first jet pump 1 opens directly into an intake chamber 12 of the jet pump 2 connected downstream.
  • Both jet pumps 1, 2 can be controlled separately via valves 3, 4, which are metering valves.
  • valves 3 , 4 used for activation are each integrated in the area of an inlet 8 in the jet pumps 1 , 2 , so that fresh anode gas can be supplied to the jet pumps 1 , 2 via the valves 3 , 4 .
  • a propulsion nozzle 7 is arranged downstream of the valves 3, 4 in order to generate the pumping action required for recirculation.
  • the fresh anode gas serves as the driving medium. Since the valves 3, 4 are arranged radially in the exemplary embodiment in FIG.

  • the inlet 6 is aligned axially.
  • the recirculated anode gas reaches an intake chamber 11 of the first jet pump 1, in which the driving nozzle 7 is also accommodated.
  • the intake chamber 11 is followed by a mixing tube 13 in which fresh anode gas and recirculated anode gas are mixed.
  • the mixing tube 13 opens into the diffuser 15.
  • the second jet pump 2 is constructed essentially identically, but has larger dimensions.
  • the second jet pump 2 is therefore designed for high loads, while the first jet pump 1 is only designed for low loads.

  • the diffuser 16 is followed by a common outlet 9 .
  • FIG. 2 shows a further preferred embodiment of a device 10 according to the invention.
  • This differs from that of Figure 1 essentially in that the valve 3 of the first jet pump 1 axially and the common inlet 6 for the recirculated anode gas are arranged radially. In this way, the flow losses can be further reduced since both jet pumps 1, 2 are flowed through axially.
  • the valve 3 is designed as a metering valve with an integrated driving nozzle 7, so that only a separate driving nozzle 7 is required.
  • the two jet pumps 1, 2 are not arranged coaxially but slightly offset from one another. This configuration creates space for an axial arrangement of the valve 4 analogous to that of the valve 3.
  • the jet pump 1 opens into an outlet 9 which is connected to the suction chamber 12 of the second jet pump 2 .
