Abstract

The invention relates to a device and method for testing the fuel cell stack leakage rate. The device comprises a helium tank and an intake manifold and further comprises eleven electromagnetic valves, a precise pressure sensor, a proportional pressure regulating valve, a safety valve, a fixed container, a corresponding pressure meter and pipelines. Compared with the prior art, a gas pressure maintaining test can be conducted, the leakage rates can be automatically and accurately measured in the inner leakage and outer leakage processes of an electric stack, and safety interlocking and automatic discharging are achieved. The volumes of a hydrogen cavity, an air cavity and a cooling liquid cavity of any electric stack are calibrated respectively, and eight types of common gas leakage rates of total leakage of the air cavity, total leakage of the hydrogen cavity, outer leakage of the air cavity, outer leakage of the hydrogen cavity, outer leakage of the cooling liquid cavity, leakage between the hydrogen cavity and the air cavity, leakage between the hydrogen cavity and the cooling liquid cavity and leakage between the air cavity and the cooling liquid cavity can be automatically calculated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel cell, in particular to a method and device for testing the leakage rate of a fuel cell stack. Background technique [0002] Due to the increasingly prominent problems of energy shortage and environmental pollution, as an energy conversion device, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has become more and more popular due to its high energy conversion efficiency, clean and pollution-free, low operating temperature, and high power density. With the attention of governments, energy companies and automobile manufacturers, PEMFC-based mobile power supplies, power generation devices, various types of power stations and vehicle engines have been developed. [0003] PEMFC is an electrochemical power generation device that can convert chemical energy stored in fuel (hydrogen) into electrical energy efficiently and without pollution by reacting with oxygen. Its basic principle is as follows: hydrogen at a certain pressure...
