Abstract

The invention provides a system for removing CO (carbon monoxide) in hydrogen gas of a proton exchange membrane fuel battery, and belongs to the technical field of purification of hydrogen gas. The system comprises a hydrogen storage tank, a CO adsorption purifier, a hydrogen gas heat exchanger and an anode of a fuel battery which are sequentially communicated, wherein the CO adsorption purifier comprises a hydrogen gas inlet pipeline, a control valve of the inlet pipeline, at least one adsorber, a purified hydrogen gas outlet pipeline, a control valve of the outlet pipeline, and a CO detection probe, and the CO detection probe is positioned on the purified hydrogen gas outlet pipeline; the hydrogen gas inlet pipeline is communicated with the hydrogen storage tank and an inlet of each adsorber, the purified hydrogen gas outlet pipeline is communicated with an outlet of each adsorber and the hydrogen gas heat exchanger, and each adsorber is internally filled with a CO adsorbent. The invention also provides a method for removing the CO by the removal system. After the CO is adsorbed by the system, the volume fraction of CO in the hydrogen gas entering the anode of the fuel battery iscontrolled to be lower than 0.2mumol / mol, and the CO in the hydrogen gas is prevented from entering the anode of the fuel battery and degrading the property and service life of the noble metal catalyst.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cell hydrogen purification, in particular to a system and method for removing CO from hydrogen used in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has the advantages of high power generation efficiency, environmental friendliness, and wide range of hydrogen fuel sources. It has broad application prospects in fixed power stations, vehicle power supplies, portable power supplies, aerospace and other fields, and has been highly valued by governments around the world. . At present, one of the important factors affecting the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is the poisoning and failure of catalysts. A small amount of CO impurities in hydrogen fuel can lead to a significant reduction in the activity of platinum, palladium and other noble metal catalysts, and even completely lose their activity in severe cases.
