Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, and more specifically, to a dual-pump type thermal management system for a high-power fuel cell engine. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, fuel cell engines have higher requirements for heat dissipation efficiency. During the operation of a fuel cell vehicle, a large amount of heat is generated by the core component of its engine, the fuel cell stack, which is usually twice that of a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle. Moreover, the fuel cell stack is highly sensitive to temperature, and the change in the cooling water temperature has a great impact on the efficiency of the fuel cell stack. Compared with fuel vehicles, the coolant temperature of fuel cell vehicles is closer to room temperature, and the heat dissipation requirement is greater. Therefore, higher requirements are put forward for the thermal management system of fuel cells. Under complex working conditions such as startup, load pulling, and load reduction, affected by factors such as the response time of components such as water pumps and radiator fans, there will be a certain lag in the system's control of the coolant temperature, increasing the fluctuation range of the coolant temperature at the inlet and outlet of the fuel cell stack, and further affecting the dynamic response performance of the fuel cell engine system and the service life of the fuel cell stack. In addition, in addition to factors such as increasing the heat dissipation area, reasonable intake grille design, optimizing the radiator layout and structure design, and improving the efficiency of the fuel cell stack, a fast, accurate, and efficient thermal management system control strategy is of great significance for the safe operation of the fuel cell engine system and the whole vehicle. And with the expansion of the fuel cell usage scenario to heavy commercial vehicles, a fuel cell engine with a higher power will inevitably bring higher heat dissipation requirements.

[0003] Technical Solution of the First Prior Art

[0004] Patent CN 112506250 A discloses a thermal management temperature control system for a fuel cell of a hydrogen energy vehicle and a hydrogen energy vehicle. Its technical solution is as follows: According to the vehicle performance parameters, after establishing a thermal management control model based on the whole vehicle thermal management control principle, by obtaining the road information in front of the vehicle and taking the road information in front as the input value and the thermal management control model as the operation model, the required output powers of the electric water pump, the electric thermostat, and the electric radiator fan can be calculated. The fuel cell system controller controls the electric water pump, the electric thermostat, and the electric radiator fan according to the required output powers.

[0005] Disadvantages of the First Prior Art

[0006] 1) The existing technical solution results in an overly complex control model, involving vehicle performance parameters including vehicle weight, drag coefficient, rolling resistance coefficient, tire diameter, etc., leading to a too large deviation between the actual output power of the fuel cell stack and the calculation model, and the model distortion.

[0007] 2) The fuel cell stack control system controls fewer components, and the controlled components are incomplete. When the system power is large or the design is complex, not all controlled components can be covered.
