工作原理:working principle:
空气经空气滤清器6进入压气机1,在压气机1内增压后,从压气机1排出 的高温空气温度高达80-90℃,这些高温空气进入第一空空中冷器2进行热交换,经第一空空中冷器2降温后温度低于80℃进入燃料电池电堆3,从燃料电池电堆3排出的气体温度大约70℃且气体内含有大量水蒸气,这些气体进入第二空空中冷器4内进行热交换,经第二空空中冷器4将气体降温至约40℃使气体内的水蒸气凝结成水后排出,气体内的水蒸气含量大大降低,经第二空空中冷器4排出的气体再进入第一空空中冷器2进行热交换升温至约80℃,然后排出进入膨胀机5,进入膨胀机5的高温气体水蒸气含量很少,避免了膨胀机5水淹,而且高温气体给膨胀机5提供热源动力,膨胀机5将这些热源转化为动能经动力轴向外输出,膨胀机5的动力轴与压气机1的转轴相连用于给压气机1提供助力,从而减小了压气机1的功率,减小了能耗,膨胀机5排出的低温气体温度约0-10℃,一方面可进入第二空空中冷器4进行热交换,从第二空空中冷器4排出的30-40℃常温气体排至大气中;另一方面可进入水空中冷器7内与燃料电池电堆的循环水进行热交换,将燃料电池电堆的循环水出口排出的高温水进行降温,循环水的冷却速度大大加快,从水空中冷器7的空气出口排出的气体温度也比较低,可通向车内或其他需要低温气体的部件进行再利用;第三方面还可进入压气机1的电机壳体内,用于对压气机的电机进行降温。The air enters the
