Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a fuel cell hydrogen system, a control method and a fuel cell. BACKGROUND
[0002] The fuel cell engine system is a new type of fuel cell power generation system, which converts chemical energy generated by chemical reactions in the device into electrical energy through the electrochemical device. The hydrogen fuel cell engine system, as an important carrier for hydrogen fuel application, has the characteristics of no pollution and environmental friendliness. The fuel cell system is relatively complex and mainly consists of hydrogen, air, water, electricity, stack and other subsystems. The stability and advancement of the hydrogen subsystem, as the supply part of the fuel cell electrochemical reaction, directly determine the characteristics of the fuel cell engine system.
[0003] At present, the hydrogen subsystem architecture of the fuel cell engine system mainly has two types: one is the hydrogen circulating pump scheme. The hydrogen circulating pump is used to pressurize the unreacted gas of the fuel cell to enter the stack again, thereby improving the use efficiency of hydrogen. The other is the hydrogen ejector scheme. The ejector scheme works on the Venturi principle, which improves the reliability of the fuel cell engine system in application.
[0004] The inventors found the following problems in the prior art during the implementation of the technical solution.
[0005] 1. The design of the single hydrogen circulating pump needs to compress the hydrogen pressure at the outlet of the circulating path to the target pressure at the inlet of the stack, which has a high pressure increase and high power consumption.
[0006] 2. The single hydrogen circulating pump has high dependence and no fault tolerance, and the hydrogen circulating pump has a high failure rate, resulting in a high failure rate of the fuel cell system.
[0007] 3. During the low-temperature cold start process, the hydrogen circulating pump is prone to icing and cannot start, and the ice-breaking operation of the circulating pump reduces the service life.
[0008] 4. When the fuel cell engine is running at high power, the power consumption of the hydrogen circulating pump increases with the increase of the operating power of the stack, which reduces the net output power of the stack and reduces the net efficiency.
[0009] 5. The scheme of parallel connection of the ejector and the circulating pump has the problem of reduced inlet pressure caused by the operation of the circulating pump, thereby reducing the inlet flow of the ejector, and in severe cases, causing reverse flow of the ejector. SUMMARY
