Abstract

The invention provides a fuel cell stack device, which belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and solves the problems that an existing fuel cell stack is easy to be flooded and is not obvious in heat insulation. The device comprises a front plastic end plate, a positive collector plate, a fuel cell stack, a negative collector plate, a rear plastic end plate, alternating-current impedance measuring equipment and a controller. The front plastic end plate and the positive collector plate are sequentially arranged on the positive side of the fuel cell stack, and the negative collector plate and the rear plastic end plate are sequentially arranged on the negative side of the fuel cell stack. The controller is used for judging whether the fuel cell is flooded or not in real time according to the alternating-current impedance of each single fuel cell; and if the flooding phenomenon occurs, the gas flow, the gas humidity and the exhaust gas emission period entering the fuel cell stack are further adjusted according to the alternating current impedance and the output current of the fuel cell stack device until the flooding phenomenon does not occur. The anti-flooding function is achieved, and the effects of being light in weight and low in machining cost are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a fuel cell stack device with an anti-flooding function and a control method. Background technique [0002] During the operation of the fuel cell stack, the monolithic fuel cells at the head or tail of the stack are prone to single low voltage phenomenon, which will cause shutdown and cause irreversible damage to the stack when the single low phenomenon is serious. [0003] Under normal circumstances, the existing fuel cell stacks generally use metal end plates, and the single low end plate is likely to be caused by flooding, which causes blockage of the flow channels in the local area of ​​the stack, and liquid water covers the surface of the catalyst, causing Hydrogen and air cannot react effectively with the catalyst, leading to hydrogen starvation and air starvation, which gradually deteriorates the performance of the monolithic fuel cell and corrodes the catalyst, which h...
