Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cell testing, and in particular to a fuel cell stack simulation device used in the development of a fuel cell cooling subsystem. Background Art
[0002] As a clean and efficient energy conversion technology, fuel cells have important application prospects in the fields of transportation and power generation. Fuel cells are one of the important technologies for the development of new energy due to their advantages such as high efficiency, cleanliness, silence, high energy density, renewability and flexibility, and are expected to become an important choice to replace traditional energy. Fuel cells generate a lot of heat during operation. If the heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, the fuel cell will overheat. The operating temperature of the fuel cell is crucial to its performance and life. The fuel cell cooling subsystem can effectively control the temperature of the fuel cell to ensure that it operates within a suitable operating temperature range and improve the efficiency and stability of the system. At the same time, a good thermal management system can effectively extend the service life of the fuel cell system, reduce the damage of thermal stress to the material, reduce the aging rate of the system, and improve the reliability and stability of the system. Therefore, the matching test of the fuel cell cooling subsystem is an important part of the integrated development of the fuel cell system. In the development process of the traditional fuel cell cooling subsystem, a fuel cell stack matching its power level needs to be used as the test object. The cost and working cost of the fuel cell stack itself are very high, and the operation of the stack requires the use of hydrogen. At present, it is difficult to apply for the qualifications of hydrogen-related laboratories. The high cost and instability of using hydrogen have greatly hindered the matching development of the fuel cell cooling subsystem. In the existing fuel cell stack simulation heat generation technology, most of them directly use heaters to simulate the heat generation of the stack, but the efficiency of the resistive heaters on the market is not high and the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling water through the heater is uncertain, so it is impossible to complete the accurate simulation of the heat generation. In addition, a single heater simulated heat generation will be difficult to cool down during actual operation, and it is impossible to complete the dynamic load reduction test of the cooling subsystem. The flow resistance of the water channel in the fuel cell stack is an important parameter that affects the flow rate of the fuel cell cooling water, and it is also an important parameter for calibrating the speed of the cooling subsystem water pump. Most of the existing fuel cell cooling subsystem stack simulation devices do not simulate the flow resistance inside the fuel cell stack. Summary of the invention
