The invention belongs to the technical field of
fuel cells, and particularly relates to a fuel
cell flow velocity field on-line test device and method, and the device comprises a separation plate and a flow
velocity measurement plate which are arranged in a stacked manner. Flow velocity sensors are assembled on the upper surface of the flow velocity measuring plate in an array mode. A
signal channel and a
current channel are formed in the flow velocity measuring plate, and the
signal channel is formed in the position of the flow velocity sensor; the lower surface of the flow velocity measuring plate is provided with a cooling
water flow field. A mounting hole for penetrating through the flow velocity sensor and an air hole are formed in the partition plate; the upper surface of the partition plate is provided with a
cathode gas flow field; the device is provided in place of a bipolar plate in a fuel
cell. Compared with the prior art, the problems that in the prior art, a
test structure is complex, and a test result highly depends on the precision of a calculation model are solved. According to the scheme, on-line measurement of flow velocity field distribution in the fuel
cell is achieved, the device can replace a bipolar plate to be assembled at any cell, and testing is flexible.
