[0002] A fuel cell is a chemical device that directly converts the chemical energy of fuel into electrical energy. It is not restricted by the Carnot cycle effect and has high efficiency. In addition, the fuel cell uses fuel and oxygen as raw materials, and at the same time has no mechanical transmission components, emits less harmful gases, and has a long service life. Therefore, from the perspective of energy conservation and ecological environment protection, fuel cells are the most promising power generation technologies.
[0003] A fuel cell stack is the main place where electrochemical reactions occur and is the core component of a fuel cell system. A stack test bench can comprehensively test the working state, stability and safety of the fuel cell stack. When using a stack test bench to test a fuel cell stack, it is necessary to control the flow rate of the gas flowing into the fuel cell stack.
[0004] However, in traditional fuel cell stack test technologies, from the flow control point for controlling the gas flow rate to the back pressure valve section, it is necessary to flow through a humidifier, a heater and corresponding pipelines in sequence, and the flowing path is relatively long. When the working condition changes rapidly, the actual flow rate and pressure at the fuel cell stack inlet cannot respond quickly, and there will be a large lag, which may cause the fuel cell stack to be under-gassed or the gas supply to fail to meet the requirements of the working condition, resulting in the inability of the fuel cell stack test bench to meet the simulation ability requirements under all working conditions.

[0037] In order to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the claims and the above drawings, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0039] As described in the background art, in traditional stack testing technologies, when the working conditions change, the actual flow rate and pressure at the stack inlet cannot respond quickly, resulting in a large lag, which may cause the stack to be under-gassed or the gas supply to fail to meet the requirements of the working conditions, making the stack testing device unable to meet the simulation ability requirements under all working conditions. The root cause of the above problems is that in traditional technologies, the mass flow controller is generally placed upstream of the humidifier, so that the gas needs to pass through the humidifier, heater and corresponding pipelines in sequence from the flow control point to the back pressure valve section, resulting in a long gas flow path. It is precisely because of the long gas flow path that when the working conditions change, the actual flow rate and pressure at the stack inlet cannot respond quickly.
[0040] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of the flow control system of the stack test bench provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0041] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a stack test bench flow control system 100, which includes a dry gas path 10 and a wet gas path 20. The wet gas path 20 is connected to the dry gas path 10 and has a first intersection point 30 and a second intersection point 40. The first intersection point 30 is connected to a gas source, and the second intersection point 40 is connected to a stack 200. A humidifier 50 is provided on the wet gas path 20. The dry gas introduced into the wet gas path 20 is humidified by the humidifier 50 to form a mixed gas of dry gas and wet gas, and intersects with the dry gas flowing from the dry gas path 10 to the stack 200 at the second intersection point 40 and is jointly introduced into the stack 200.
[0042] It should be noted here that the stack test bench flow control system 100 can be used to control the gas flow rate of the cathode gas or the anode gas. Specifically, when applied to a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, the cathode gas is air and the anode gas is hydrogen. In some other embodiments, the type of gas used for the anode is not limited.
[0043] Continue to refer to Figure 1, the flow control system 100 of the fuel cell test bench further includes a first mass flow controller 60. The first mass flow controller 60 is arranged on the dry gas path 10 and is used to control the first flow rate of the dry gas flow 10 according to the changes of the first temperature, the first pressure, the first humidity, the second temperature, the second pressure, the second humidity, and the total dry gas flow rate. Among them, the first temperature is the temperature at the outlet of the humidifier 50, the first pressure is the pressure at the outlet of the humidifier 50, and the first humidity is the humidity at the outlet of the humidifier 50. The second temperature is the temperature at the inlet of the fuel cell 200, the second pressure is the pressure at the inlet of the fuel cell 200, and the second humidity is the humidity at the inlet of the fuel cell 200. The total dry gas flow rate is the sum of the flow rate introduced into the dry gas path 10 from the gas source and the flow rate introduced into the wet gas path 20.
[0044] The flow control system 100 of the fuel cell test bench further includes a second mass flow controller 70, which is arranged on the wet gas path 20 and downstream of the humidifier 50, and is used to control the second flow rate in the wet gas path 20 according to the changes of the first temperature, the first pressure, the first humidity, the second temperature, the second pressure, the second humidity, and the total dry gas flow rate. The second flow rate is the total flow rate of the dry gas and the wet gas in the wet gas path 20.
[0045] It should also be noted here that the mass flow controller can precisely measure and control the mass flow rate of gases or liquids. The first mass flow controller 60 adopts a mass flow controller based on the laminar flow principle or the thermal principle, and the second mass flow controller 70 adopts a Coriolis type mass flow controller, that is, the flowmeter in the wet gas path 20 adopts a Coriolis type mass flowmeter, and the flow control valve adopts a proportional valve for high-temperature and high-humidity media. The two form a Coriolis type mass flow controller.
[0046] In the flow control system 100 of the fuel cell test bench provided by the embodiment of the present application, the second mass flow controller 70 is placed downstream of the humidifier 50. Compared with the prior art where the mass flow controller is placed upstream of the humidifier 50, the gas flow path from the flow control point to the back pressure valve 170 is shortened. And because the gas flow path is shortened, when the working condition changes, the actual flow rate and pressure at the inlet of the fuel cell 200 can respond quickly, so that the gas supply is sufficient or meets the requirements of the working condition, and the fuel cell test bench can meet the simulation ability requirements under all working conditions. At the same time, the first mass flow controller 60 and the second mass flow controller 70 cooperate to control the gas flow rate, which can ensure that the pressure in the fuel cell 200 is within the preset range.
[0047] In one embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 1, the flow control system 100 of the fuel cell test bench further includes a first temperature sensor 80, a first pressure sensor 90, and a first humidity sensor 110. The first temperature sensor 80, the first pressure sensor 90, and the first humidity sensor 110 are all disposed on the wet gas path 20 and located at the outlet of the humidifier 50. The first temperature sensor 80 is used to detect the first temperature at the outlet of the humidifier 50, the first pressure sensor 90 is used to detect the first pressure at the outlet of the humidifier 50, and the first humidity sensor 110 is used to detect the first humidity at the outlet of the humidifier 50.
[0048] The flow control system 100 of the fuel cell test bench further includes a second temperature sensor 120, a second pressure sensor 130, and a second humidity sensor 140. The second temperature sensor 120, the second pressure sensor 130, and the second humidity sensor 140 are all disposed between the second junction point 40 and the fuel cell 200. The second temperature sensor 120 is used to detect the second temperature at the inlet of the fuel cell 200, the second pressure sensor 130 is used to detect the second pressure at the inlet of the fuel cell 200, and the second humidity sensor 140 is used to detect the second humidity at the inlet of the fuel cell 200.
[0049] It should be noted here that the types of the first temperature sensor 80, the first pressure sensor 90, the first humidity sensor 110, the second temperature sensor 120, the second pressure sensor 130, and the second humidity sensor 140 are not limited, as long as the corresponding detection functions can be realized.
[0050] In one embodiment, the flow control system 100 of the fuel cell test bench further includes a first heater 150 and a second heater 160. The first heater 150 is disposed on the dry gas path 10 and located downstream of the first mass flow controller 60, and the second heater 160 is disposed between the second junction point 40 and the fuel cell 200. The first heater 150 is used to heat the dry air in the dry gas path 10, and the second heater 160 is used to heat the gas about to flow into the fuel cell 200. By cooperating the first heater 150 and the second heater 160, the temperature of the gas flowing into the fuel cell 200 is within a preset range.
[0051] Furthermore, the flow control system 100 of the fuel cell test bench further includes a back pressure valve 170. The back pressure valve 170 is disposed on the outlet side of the fuel cell 200 to control the pressure difference between both sides of the proton exchange membrane of the fuel cell 200 within a certain range.
[0052] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flowchart of the fuel cell test bench flow control method provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0053] Another embodiment of the present application further provides a fuel cell test bench flow control method, including the steps:
[0054] S110: Obtain the first temperature, first pressure, and first humidity at the outlet of the humidifier 50;
[0055] S12: Obtain the second temperature, second pressure, and second humidity at the inlet of the fuel cell stack 200;
[0056] Specifically, based on the membrane back pressure valve 170, control the gas pressure at the inlet of the fuel cell stack 200 to be the second pressure, and based on the heater, control the gas temperature at the inlet of the fuel cell stack 200 to be the second temperature.
[0057] S130: Obtain the total dry gas flow rate of the dry gas flowing into the dry gas path 10 and the wet gas path 20;
[0058] S140: Control the first flow rate of the gas in the dry gas path 10 and the second flow rate of the gas in the wet gas path 20 according to the changes in the first temperature, first pressure, first humidity, second temperature, second pressure, second humidity, and total dry gas flow rate;
[0059] Wherein, the second flow rate is the total flow rate of the dry gas and the wet gas in the wet gas path 20.
[0060] The fuel cell stack test bench flow control method provided by the embodiments of the present application controls the second flow rate of the gas in the wet gas path 20 according to the changes in the first temperature, first humidity, second temperature, second pressure, second humidity, and total dry gas flow rate. The second flow rate is the total flow rate of the dry gas and the wet gas in the wet gas path 20, that is, it controls the gas flow rate of the wet gas path 20 after being humidified by the humidifier 50. Compared with the prior art where the mass flow controller is placed upstream of the humidifier 50, the gas flow path from the flow control point to the back pressure valve 170 is shortened. And due to the shortening of the gas flow path, when the working condition changes, the actual flow rate and pressure at the inlet of the fuel cell stack 200 can respond quickly, so that the gas supply is sufficient or meets the working condition requirements, and the fuel cell stack test bench can meet the simulation ability requirements under all working conditions. At the same time, by controlling the first flow rate and the second flow rate simultaneously, the pressure inside the fuel cell stack 200 is ensured to be within the preset range.
[0061] Further, the first temperature, first pressure, and first humidity are respectively obtained by the first temperature sensor 80, the first pressure sensor 90, and the first humidity sensor 110. The second temperature, second pressure, and second humidity are respectively obtained by the second temperature sensor 120, the second pressure sensor 130, and the second humidity sensor 140. The first flow rate is controlled by the first mass flow controller 60, and the second flow rate is controlled by the second mass flow controller 70.
[0062] Define the first temperature as T1, the first pressure as P1, the first humidity as RH1, the second temperature as T2, the second pressure as P2, the second humidity as RH2, and the total dry gas flow rate as Qa. Qa = Qa1 + Qa2, where Qa1 is the dry gas flow rate of the dry gas path 10 and Qa2 is the dry gas flow rate of the wet gas path 20. Herein, the units of Qa, Qa1, and Qa2 are sLPM, and all of them are volume flow rates.
[0063] According to the required target state, the water vapor flow rate Qw can be calculated. Where Psat2 is the saturation vapor pressure at the inlet of the fuel cell stack 200, which can be calculated using the Antoine equation and is related to the temperature at this point, abbreviated as Psat2 = f(T2).
[0064] The water vapor flow rate obtained from the above formula is: Psat1 = f(T1), where Psat1 is the saturation vapor pressure at the outlet of the humidifier 50.
[0065] Similarly, the water vapor flow rate is calculated using the parameters at the outlet of the humidifier 50 as: Wherein, Psat1 = f(T1). In a specific embodiment, RH1 is 100%. Since the water vapor at the inlet of the fuel cell stack 200 comes from the wet gas path 20, then: It can be obtained that
[0066] The first flow rate controlled by the first mass flow controller 60 is:
[0067]
[0068] The second flow rate controlled by the second mass flow controller 70 is:
[0069]
[0070] Wherein, Mr is the relative molecular mass of the dry gas (including the dry gas path 10 and the wet gas path 20) introduced into the gas path, and 22.4 is the volume of one mole of gas under standard conditions.
[0071] It should be noted here that for the cathode side, when the gas introduced is air, Mr is 29. For the anode side, when the gas introduced is hydrogen, Mr is 2.
[0072] In one embodiment, the first flow rate of the dry gas path 10 is controlled as: The second flow rate of the wet gas path 20 is: In this way, the pressure inside the fuel cell stack 200 is always ensured to be within the preset range. Wherein, m is the mass flow rate.
[0073] In one embodiment, during operation, the temperature of the humidifier 50 is always kept constant, that is, the dew point temperature at the outlet of the humidifier 50 is maintained at a stable value.
[0074] In other embodiments, it is also possible to determine whether the humidifier 50 is in a normal state and perform flow correction on the mass flow controllers of the dry gas path 10 and the wet gas path 20 based on a mathematical model. Specifically, it further includes the steps of:
[0075] Determine the relationship between the second humidity and the target humidity required by the fuel cell stack 200;
[0076] Specifically, the target humidity is preset and is the humidity that meets the performance requirements of the fuel cell stack 200, and the second humidity is the humidity obtained by detection.
[0077] When the second humidity is not equal to the target humidity, obtain the actual dew point temperature at the outlet of the humidifier 50 based on the deviation, and correct the first flow rate and the second flow rate.
[0078] Specifically, when the second humidity is less than the target humidity or the second humidity is greater than the target humidity, obtain the actual dew point temperature at the outlet of the humidifier 50 based on the deviation between the second humidity and the target humidity, and correct the first flow rate and the second flow rate to always ensure that the pressure in the fuel cell stack 200 is within the preset range.
