Problems solved by technology

[0003] The product of hydrogen fuel cells is only water. However, as far as the current fuel cell technology is concerned, the utilization rate of hydrogen fuel is difficult to reach 100%, so the anode tail gas inevitably contains hydrogen that has not participated in the reaction.
If the hydrogen in the anode tail gas is directly discharged into the atmosphere without any treatment, it will bring serious safety hazards

Abstract

The invention discloses a tail gas hydrogen elimination system for a hydrogen fuel cell. The tail gas hydrogen elimination system comprises a hydrogen fuel cell stack, a water collecting tank, a condenser, a drier and a hydrogen storage alloy tank which are sequentially communicated through a connecting tube, a steam-water separator is arranged in the water collecting tank, the water discharging tube of the water collecting tank is provided with a fourth solenoid valve, the connecting tube between the drier and the hydrogen storage alloy tank is provided with a gas discharging tube, and the gas discharging tube is provided with a third solenoid valve. The system has the advantages of low power consumption, realization of high hydrogen utilization rate and low cost due to collection of hydrogen in tail gas by the hydrogen storage alloy tank, simple, safe and reliable structure, convenience in operation, and low manufacturing and maintaining cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a tail gas dehydrogenation system for hydrogen fuel cells. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a power generation device that directly converts the chemical energy present in fuel and oxidant into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction. The difference from conventional batteries is that the chemical energy stored in fuels and oxidants is directly converted into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. It has high capacity conversion efficiency, high reliability, and low environmental pollution, and has broad development and application prospects. In particular, hydrogen fuel cells are a new, efficient, clean, and adaptable power generation system that has been developed in applications such as automobiles, distributed power generation, backup power supplies, portable power supplies, aircraft, ships, space stations, and submarines...
