Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a fuel cell water separator test device and a test method thereof. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell engine is a device that directly converts the chemical energy in hydrogen fuel into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction. It has the advantages of high efficiency, low emissions, simple installation and maintenance, good reliability, low pollution, and strong adaptability. The reactants of the hydrogen fuel cell are hydrogen and oxygen, and the product is only water, where the water is mainly produced on the air side; however, due to the influence of the concentration gradient of water on both sides of the hydrogen space, the liquid water on the air side will pass through the proton exchange membrane Permeate to the hydrogen side; on the hydrogen side of the fuel cell engine, the hydrogen gas at the outlet of the hydrogen chamber is generally recirculat...

Problems solved by technology

The reactants of the hydrogen fuel cell are hydrogen and oxygen, and the product is only water, where the water is mainly produced on the air side; however, due to the influence of the concentration gradient of water on both sides of the hydrogen space, the liquid water on the air side will pass through the proton exchange membrane Permeate to the hydrogen side; on the hydrogen side of the fuel cell engine, the hydrogen gas at the outlet of the hydrogen chamber is generally returned to use by a circulation pump or an ejector. The liquid water brought in enters the stack, which causes a single low problem; therefore, it is generally necessary to install a water separator at the hydrogen outlet of the stack to separate the steam and water from the hydrogen, and discharge the liquid water through the tail valve, while the returning gas does not contain liquid water

However, it takes a long time to design and verify the water distribution parts. Secondly, when verifying the water separation efficiency of the water distribution parts, it is generally verified after being installed with the electric stack. Different electric stack models need to be matched differently. It is impossible to
