[0034] Figure 1 The structure diagram of an altitude simulation test system according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in the figure, an altitude simulation test system 100 suitable for testing a fuel cell engine 103 mainly includes a fresh air processing unit 101, an environmental chamber pressure-resistant cabin 102, a hydrogen exhaust circuit 104, an air exhaust circuit 108, a cabin exhaust circuit 112 and a negative pressure equalization water tank 115.
[0035] The fuel cell engine 103 to be tested is arranged in the environmental chamber pressure cabin 102, and the environmental chamber pressure cabin 102 provides a negative pressure environment for testing the fuel cell engine 103. The environmental chamber pressure cabin 102 is connected to the fresh air processing unit 101, and the fresh air processing unit 101 provides the fresh air required for the operation of the fuel cell engine 103 into the environmental chamber pressure cabin 102.
[0036] The hydrogen exhaust circuit 104 includes a hydrogen exhaust buffer tank 105, a hydrogen exhaust air flow regulating valve 106 and a hydrogen exhaust air pressure centrifuge 107. The two ends of the hydrogen exhaust air flow regulating valve 106 are respectively connected to the hydrogen exhaust buffer tank 105 and the hydrogen exhaust air pressure centrifuge 107. The hydrogen exhaust buffer tank 105 is connected to the fuel cell engine 103. It is easy to understand that the hydrogen exhaust air pressure centrifuge 107 is used to extract hydrogen generated during the operation of the fuel cell engine 103, and the hydrogen is discharged to the outside through the hydrogen exhaust buffer tank 105, the hydrogen exhaust air flow regulating valve 106 and the hydrogen exhaust air pressure centrifuge 107. The hydrogen exhaust air flow regulating valve 106 is used to control the amount of gas extracted by the hydrogen exhaust air pressure centrifuge 107.
[0037] The air exhaust circuit 108 includes an empty exhaust buffer tank 109, an empty exhaust air flow regulating valve 110 and an empty exhaust pressure centrifuge 111. The two ends of the empty exhaust air flow regulating valve 110 are respectively connected to the empty exhaust buffer tank 109 and the empty exhaust pressure centrifuge 111, and the empty exhaust buffer tank 109 is connected to the fuel cell engine 103. The empty exhaust pressure centrifuge 111 is used to extract other gases generated during the operation of the fuel cell engine 103, and these gases are discharged to the outside through the empty exhaust buffer tank 109, the empty exhaust air flow regulating valve 110 and the empty exhaust pressure centrifuge 111. The empty exhaust air flow regulating valve 110 is used to control the amount of gas extracted by the empty exhaust pressure centrifuge 111.
[0038] The cabin exhaust circuit 112 includes a cabin exhaust flow regulating valve 113 and a cabin exhaust pressure centrifuge 114. The two ends of the cabin exhaust flow regulating valve 113 are respectively connected to the environmental cabin pressure cabin 102 and the cabin exhaust pressure centrifuge 114. The gas in the environmental cabin pressure cabin 102 is discharged to the outside through the cabin exhaust flow regulating valve 113 and the cabin exhaust pressure centrifuge 114. The cabin exhaust flow regulating valve 113 is used to control the amount of gas extracted by the cabin exhaust pressure centrifuge 114.
[0039] The negative pressure equalization water tank 115 is connected to the hydrogen exhaust pressure centrifuge 107, the air exhaust pressure centrifuge 111 and the cabin pressure centrifuge 114. The pressure in the negative pressure equalization water tank 115 is the same, so that the hydrogen exhaust circuit 104, the air exhaust circuit 108 and the cabin exhaust circuit 112 form the same back pressure.
[0040] The altitude simulation test system 100 provided by the present invention can provide an altitude simulation environment for a fuel cell engine 103 to perform altitude simulation test and verification on the fuel cell engine 103 .
[0041] Preferably, the altitude simulation test system 100 also includes a first control unit (not shown). A cabin pressure sensor is provided in the pressure-resistant cabin 102 of the environmental cabin, a hydrogen exhaust sensor is provided in the hydrogen exhaust buffer tank 105, and an air exhaust sensor is provided in the air exhaust buffer tank 109. The first control unit is connected to the fresh air processing unit 101, the cabin pressure sensor, the hydrogen exhaust sensor, the air exhaust sensor, the hydrogen exhaust air extraction flow regulating valve 106, the air exhaust air extraction flow regulating valve 110 and the cabin exhaust air extraction flow regulating valve 113. The first control unit adjusts the air intake opening of the fresh air processing unit according to the test requirements, and integrates the exhaust openings of the hydrogen exhaust air extraction flow regulating valve 106, the air exhaust air extraction flow regulating valve 110 and the cabin exhaust air extraction flow regulating valve 113 according to the pressure signals obtained by the cabin pressure sensor, the hydrogen exhaust sensor and the air exhaust sensor, so that the mutual pressure difference in the pressure-resistant cabin 102 of the environmental cabin, the hydrogen exhaust buffer tank 105 and the air exhaust buffer tank 109 is within 2KPA (kilopascals). Conventionally, the mutual pressure difference range is within 1KPA to 2KPA, which meets the test conditions of the fuel cell engine 103. It should be noted that the first control unit usually includes a data receiving module, a processing module and a control module. The data receiving module is used to receive external data, including pressure data from various sensors. The processing module calculates the action requirements of the hydrogen exhaust air flow regulating valve 106, the air exhaust air flow regulating valve 110 and the cabin exhaust air flow regulating valve 113 according to the operating time and real-time operating requirements of the fuel cell engine 103. The control module adjusts the opening of each regulating valve according to the calculation results of the processing module to keep the mutual pressure difference in the environmental cabin pressure-resistant cabin 102, the hydrogen exhaust buffer tank 105 and the air exhaust buffer tank 109 within a reasonable range to prevent atmospheric volume shock and cause excessive pressure fluctuations. The software running on the data receiving module, the processing module and the control module in the first control unit is easily obtained by those skilled in the art.
[0042] Preferably, the altitude simulation test system 100 also includes a main air inlet valve 116 and a bypass air inlet regulating valve 117. The fresh air processing unit 101 is connected to the environmental chamber pressure-resistant cabin 102 through the air inlet valve and the bypass air inlet regulating valve 117 connected in parallel. The first control unit adjusts the air output (fresh air volume) of the fresh air processing unit 101 through the air inlet valve and the bypass air inlet regulating valve 117. In one embodiment, the first control unit more accurately adjusts the air output of the fresh air processing unit 101, that is, the air intake of the environmental chamber pressure-resistant cabin 102, through rough adjustment of the main air inlet valve 116 and fine adjustment of the bypass air inlet regulating valve 117. More preferably, the maximum air intake volume adjusted by the main air inlet valve 116 and the bypass air inlet regulating valve 117 is 120% to 130% of the air intake volume required by the working condition of the fuel cell engine 103. When the hydrogen exhaust circuit 104, the air exhaust circuit 108 and the cabin exhaust circuit 112 are working simultaneously, the exhaust volume of the three is equivalent to 89% to 100% of the air intake volume of the environmental cabin pressure cabin 102, plus saturated water vapor.
[0043] Preferably, the altitude simulation test system 100 also includes a second control unit (not shown) connected to the first control unit. The second control unit is used to control the fuel cell engine 103 to perform the test condition according to the provisions of the test conditions. The first control unit adjusts the exhaust opening of the hydrogen exhaust air flow regulating valve 106, the air exhaust air flow regulating valve 110 and the cabin exhaust air flow regulating valve 113 according to the real-time working condition loading timing of the fuel cell engine 103 fed back by the second control unit, as well as the cabin pressure sensor, the hydrogen exhaust sensor and the air exhaust sensor. Specifically, the test condition fits a synchronous gas consumption condition curve, and the first control unit synchronously assigns it to the environmental cabin pressure-resistant cabin 102, and the environmental cabin pressure-resistant cabin 102 controls the reading of the working condition action time axis and the real-time working condition gas demand. The first control unit judges the action demand of the air exhaust air flow regulating valve 110 in real time to prevent the atmospheric volume from impacting the pressure control, over-calling the gas demand, and preventing excessive pressure fluctuations, and synchronously couples the negative pressure control of the pressure sensor of the empty exhaust buffer tank 109, and corrects the pressure control when it is greater than a certain pressure difference. Here, the first control unit can make a first-level assignment and a second-level sensor pressure control logic in order to more accurately control the pressure fluctuation. The hydrogen exhaust volume is relatively small, and the hydrogen exhaust buffer tank 105 of the hydrogen exhaust circuit 104 can be used for general buffer tank pressure control, and a pulse exhaust volume (pulse exhaust time) correction can be considered accordingly. The most important function of the cabin exhaust circuit 112 is to fill the change in gas consumption caused by the load change of the working condition, and to extract the excess gas from the pressure-resistant cabin 102 of the environmental cabin. The change in gas consumption of the air exhaust circuit 108 due to the load change is synchronously compensated by the cabin exhaust circuit 112. The total number of the cabin exhaust circuit 112 and the air exhaust circuit 108 should be coupled with the maximum power demand and basically stable to maintain the altitude environment. In one embodiment, the first control unit real-time links the various actuators connected to the first control unit, and controls them through the CAN bus linkage to improve the control efficiency.
[0044] The cabin pressure sensor is coupled to the cabin control, and the position cabin pressure is stable. Here, a primary assignment and a secondary sensor pressure control logic are made to more accurately control pressure fluctuations.
[0045] Preferably, the cabin pressure sensor, hydrogen exhaust pressure sensor and air exhaust pressure sensor are used to adjust the exhaust opening of the hydrogen exhaust air flow regulating valve, air exhaust air flow regulating valve and cabin exhaust air flow regulating valve. And, when the test fresh air demand is met, it is used to adjust the fresh air volume of the fresh air processing unit.
[0046] Preferably, the altitude simulation test system 100 also includes a design of the ratio of the intake air volume to the exhaust air volume (hydrogen exhaust, air exhaust, and cabin exhaust). Generally speaking, the fresh air volume of the fresh air processing unit 101 is greater than the fresh air volume required for the test. The excess part is discharged out of the cabin through the cabin exhaust circuit 112. The air exhaust circuit 108 works in real time to follow the test working condition requirements. The part of the air demand that changes due to the variable load of the working condition is discharged in real time by the cabin exhaust circuit 112.
[0047] Preferably, the altitude simulation test system 100 further includes a first equalizing connecting pipe 118. The first equalizing connecting pipe 118 is used to connect the environmental chamber pressure hull 102 and the hydrogen discharge buffer tank 105 to prevent the environmental chamber pressure hull 102 from being impacted by atmospheric air and causing excessive pressure fluctuations.
[0048] Preferably, the altitude simulation test system 100 further includes a second balancing connecting pipe 119. The second balancing connecting pipe 119 is used to connect the environmental chamber pressure hull 102 and the emptying buffer tank 109 to prevent the environmental chamber pressure hull 102 from being impacted by atmospheric air and causing excessive pressure fluctuations.
[0049] Preferably, the negative pressure equalization water tank 115 is provided with a drain valve 120 at the top and a drain valve 121 at the bottom, which are used to discharge gas and water respectively, in compliance with the regulatory requirements that direct discharge into the environment is prohibited.
[0050] Preferably, during the test of the fuel cell engine 103, the empty exhaust pressure centrifuge 111 is always open. The exhaust volume of the empty exhaust pressure centrifuge 111 is adjusted by the empty exhaust flow regulating valve 110. When the fuel cell engine 103 is tested at 90KPA or 95KPA, the air exhaust circuit 108 maintains the exhaust capacity to prevent the empty exhaust pressure centrifuge 111 from being frequently started and stopped at low load, thereby affecting the exhaust test.
[0051] The altitude simulation test system provided by the present invention has the following characteristics:
[0052] 1. Effectively realize the pressure difference control of the environmental chamber pressure cabin, hydrogen discharge buffer tank and air discharge buffer tank to simulate the plateau altitude test conditions;
[0053] 2. Air intake control of the pressure-resistant cabin of the environmental cabin, and synchronous linkage control of hydrogen exhaust, air exhaust and cabin exhaust according to working conditions;
[0054] 3. Reduce the impact of environmental negative pressure under dynamic load changes, which is better than pipeline negative pressure solutions. The negative pressure effect is really good under constant load, and the negative pressure effect is also really good under dynamic load changes;
[0055] 4. The exhaust effect is good, and the back pressure of the hydrogen exhaust circuit and the air exhaust circuit is small.
[0056] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made to the above exemplary embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention covers modifications and variations of the present invention that fall within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalent technical solutions.
