[0002] In addition to being used for work, most of the power of the hydrogen fuel heavy truck hydrogen stack system is converted into heat and removed by the cooling system (≥95%). Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a hydrogen fuel cell with a rated power of 115kW needs to remove 158kW of heat from the radiator, which is similar to the heat dissipation at the torque point of a 510-horsepower diesel engine. However, the water temperature limit of a hydrogen fuel cell is generally 85°C, and the liquid-to-air temperature difference is much smaller than that of a diesel engine (water temperature limit 105°C-108°C).

[0152] After the droplets atomized by the atomizing nozzle enter the air, without considering the influence of the liquid cooling system, the droplets mix with the air, and the vaporized droplets take away a large amount of latent heat of vaporization. The moisture content of the air increases, the relative humidity increases, the sensible heat decreases, and the temperature decreases. In theory, this process is similar to an adiabatic isenthalpic humidification process. Figure 5 shown. Figure 5 Psychrometric diagram of an air adiabatic isenthalpic humidification process in some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0153] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, point 1 is the state of air before spraying, and point 2 is the state of air after spraying. The comparison before and after spraying can be carried out according to the following calculation process.
[0154] Determine the water vapor partial pressure according to formula (1): , where water vapor partial pressure refers to the pressure formed by water vapor in humid air.
[0155] (1)
[0156] In formula (1), is the relative humidity of air, in %; is the water vapor saturation pressure, in kPa.
[0157] Determine the air humidity before spraying according to formula (2): .
[0158] (2)
[0159] In formula (2), is the air pressure in kPa.
[0160] Determine the air enthalpy before spraying according to formula (3): .
[0161] (3)
[0162] In formula (3), , It is the air temperature before and after spraying, in °C.
[0163] Determine the air enthalpy after spraying according to formula (4): .
[0164] (4)
[0165] Determine the air humidity after spraying according to formula (5): .
[0166] (5)
[0167] According to the psychrometric diagram, in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present disclosure, when the enthalpy value of the system remains unchanged, the moisture content of the air increases and the temperature decreases after spraying, and the temperature difference between the liquid and air around the radiator increases, which is extremely beneficial to the heat dissipation of the radiator of the liquid cooling system.
[0168] Second, liquid film evaporation and forced convection.
[0169] The present disclosure takes a tube-belt radiator as an example to discuss in detail the heat dissipation process of a hydrogen fuel cell liquid cooling system enhanced by spray cooling.
[0170] Figure 6 Schematic diagrams of some other embodiments of the battery cooling system disclosed in the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the array atomizing nozzle 231 of the injection system 23 is arranged on the first side of the radiator, and the electronic fan 12 is arranged on the second side of the radiator, and the second side is the opposite side of the first side. Figure 6 The first side shown is the front side, and the second side is the rear side. The radiator 11 is a tube-belt radiator 111, and the tube-belt radiator 111 includes heat pipes 112 and heat belts 113 arranged at intervals. For ease of description, Figure 6 The radiator in the middle is a partial enlarged view.
[0171] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the spray system includes components such as an atomizing nozzle, a spray seat, a three-way joint, and a four-way joint.
[0172] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the distance between the atomizing nozzle and the radiator surface is a predetermined height, and the atomizing nozzle sprays on the surface of the tube-belt radiator at a first predetermined angle, wherein the first predetermined angle is the angle between the spraying direction and the wind direction of the electronic fan.
[0173] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the coolant flows in the heat pipe and conducts the heat out through the heat dissipation belt. The air-suction electronic fan is placed on the rear side of the radiator to transfer the heat on the heat dissipation belt to the surrounding environment by enhancing the air flow. Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the heat dissipation and heat exchange mechanism of the spray cooling enhanced liquid cooling system disclosed in the present invention is shown in FIG. The spray system atomizing nozzle is at a certain height H from the radiator surface and sprays at a certain angle α onto the surface of the tube-belt radiator (such as Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the spray direction forms an angle α (α<45°) along the wind direction of the electronic fan. When there is no electronic fan, the droplets sprayed onto the heat pipe rebound at a certain angle, and the droplets sprayed onto the heat dissipation belt partially rebound and partially move between the heat dissipation belts. After adding the influence of the electronic fan, the atomized droplets move between the heat dissipation belts.
[0174] like Figure 7As shown in the figure, the droplets move between the heat dissipation belts and hit the heat dissipation pipe and the surface of the heat dissipation belt. The liquid that has no time to evaporate and drain forms a thin liquid film on its surface. The shape of the liquid film is affected by the random movement of the spray droplets and presents an irregular state. However, due to the influence of the forced air cooling system, the liquid film moves along the air flow direction as a whole. The irregularly moving droplets impact the liquid film to produce additional disturbances, which reduces the thickness of the local liquid film, that is, the thermal resistance, and greatly improves the evaporation efficiency of the liquid film. From a microscopic perspective, the forced air cooling system caused by the electronic fan enables the molecules on the surface of the liquid to have enough kinetic energy to overcome the attraction between the molecules in the liquid. The molecules break away from the liquid surface and fly outward, and evaporation occurs. The faster the air flows, the smaller the chance of the molecules returning to the liquid, and the faster the evaporation.
[0175] like Figure 7 As shown, after the atomizing nozzle sprays onto the radiator surface at a certain angle α, the droplets will cause strong disturbances in the liquid film, and due to the existence of the atomizing cone angle θ, the path of the droplets sprayed on the heat dissipation belt has an angle with the liquid film, and the spray droplets have a significant pushing and flushing effect on the liquid film. At the same time, the accelerated movement of the droplets caused by the air cooling system leads to a stronger impact force and a stronger heat exchange capacity.
[0176] like Figure 3 As shown, the battery heat dissipation system disclosed in the present invention is mainly composed of a liquid cooling system and a spray cooling system. The liquid cooling system includes a radiator, an electronic fan, an electronic thermostat, a hydrogen fuel cell body water jacket, etc.; the spray cooling system includes a water collection system, a pumping system and an array injection system. The water collection system is mainly a water collection tank, the pumping system mainly includes a small flow electronic water pump and its control module, and the array injection system mainly includes a plurality of low-pressure nozzles arranged in an array; the heat dissipation mechanism after the two systems are coupled is realized by isenthalpic humidification, liquid film evaporation and forced convection.
[0177] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the controller 222 can also be configured to determine the hydrogen consumption based on the hydrogen stack power, Faraday coefficient, hydrogen fuel cell cell voltage and the molar mass of hydrogen when the hydrogen stack of the whole vehicle is output at rated power; determine the amount of water generated at the corresponding vehicle speed based on the hydrogen consumption as a flow injection limit; and determine the model parameters of the first electronic water pump, the number of nozzles of the array injection system, the injection angle and the injection height based on the flow injection limit.
[0178] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the controller 222 can also be configured to calculate the hydrogen consumption of the vehicle when the hydrogen stack is at rated power output according to formula (7), and calculate the amount of generated water at the corresponding vehicle speed according to formula (8) as the flow injection limit; and determine the model parameters of the first electronic water pump 221, the number of nozzles of the array injection system 23, the injection angle and the injection height according to the flow injection limit.
[0179] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the injection system 23 includes a plurality of injection heads arranged in an array.
[0180] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the controller 222 may also be configured to determine a nozzle arrangement rule according to a flow injection limit and a CHF (Critical Heat Flux) conclusion.
[0181] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, the water collecting tank 211 of the spray cooling system is installed at the rear end of the exhaust pipe, and a cyclonic gas-liquid separation structure is used inside to separate the collected water vapor (including hydrogen and gas-liquid phase water). The separated liquid flows along the wall of the water tank to the lower water storage area, and the hydrogen that is extremely insoluble in water is discharged from the exhaust port; the pumping system 22 uses the first electronic water pump 221 to pump the reaction water collected in the water collecting tank to the injection system. The first electronic water pump must follow the principle of small flow and high pressure, and try to increase the pressure as much as possible while meeting the flow demand, so as to improve the atomization quality of the atomizing nozzle; the array injection system determines the nozzle arrangement rules according to the flow injection limit and CHF conclusion.
[0182] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the determination of the flow injection limit may include the following steps.
[0183] First, the hydrogen consumption is determined.
[0184] According to Faraday's first law, the hydrogen consumption rate can be determined according to formula (6).
[0185] (6)
[0186] In formula (6), is the hydrogen consumption (g / s); is the molar mass of hydrogen; n is the number of cells in the stack; I is the stack flow rate (A, i.e., C / s, indicating the number of electron charges passing through per second); F is the Faraday coefficient (C / mol, indicating the amount of charge carried by each mole of electrons), which is taken as 9.65×10 4 ; 2 means that 1 mol of hydrogen reacts to produce 2 mol of electrons.
[0187] Typically, the hydrogen stack power P is a known term, which is defined as the hydrogen fuel cell cell voltage which is generally 0.7 V, so formula (6) is converted into formula (7) in the present disclosure.
[0188] (7)
[0189] The hydrogen consumption under different hydrogen stack powers can be calculated by formula (7).
[0190] Second, calculation of water generation.
[0191] According to the internal chemical reaction formula of the fuel cell: , the consumption rate of hydrogen (mol / s) is the generation rate of water (mol / s), the mass of 1 mol of hydrogen is 2 g, and the mass of 1 mol of water is 18 g, so the generation rate of water is as shown in formula (8).
[0192] (8)
[0193] The amount of generated water calculated in formula (8) is the injection flow limit, and the actual injection flow should be less than the injection limit.
[0194] The present disclosure is based on the theoretical calculation of hydrogen consumption (Formula (7)) when the vehicle hydrogen stack is at rated power output. According to the hydrogen fuel cell chemical reaction formula (Formula (8)), the generated water volume at the corresponding vehicle speed is calculated as the injection limit, and the water pump model, the number of nozzles of the array injection system, the injection angle, the injection height, etc. are determined; the spray cooling water collection system collects the hydrogen fuel cell reaction water and cools it down appropriately. After being pressurized by the electronic water pump, the atomized droplets are evenly sprayed on the surface of the liquid cooling system radiator through the nozzle, realizing the coupling of the two systems, and achieving the purpose of strengthening heat exchange and recycling the fuel cell generated water.
[0195] The present disclosure relates to the field of new technology development and control of a battery cooling system for a new energy heavy truck, and specifically to a cooling technology and system for a hydrogen fuel cell of a new energy heavy truck coupled with a spray cooling and liquid cooling system.
[0196] The present disclosure mainly discusses adding a spray cooling system to the hydrogen fuel cell liquid cooling system, and achieving the purpose of strengthening the heat dissipation of the liquid cooling system by recycling the hydrogen fuel cell reaction water and spraying it on the radiator surface, and calibrating to form a MAP diagram of hydrogen fuel cell water temperature-electronic fan speed-injection flow rate. During actual operation, the hydrogen stack heat dissipation control module realizes accurate matching of the injection flow rate by collecting the hydrogen fuel cell outlet water temperature and fan speed based on the MAP diagram, thereby reducing the vehicle layout space, reducing the number of parts used, reducing the energy consumption of the battery cooling system, reducing the user's operating costs, solving the technical bottleneck of hydrogen fuel cell power increase and heat dissipation difficulties, and promoting the promotion and application of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell heavy trucks.
[0197] The present invention solves the bottleneck problem of heat dissipation of high-power hydrogen fuel cells. An embodiment proposes a method of adding a spray cooling technology for heat dissipation of high-power electronic devices to the existing hydrogen fuel cell liquid cooling system. By collecting hydrogen fuel cell reaction water, using an electronic water pump to increase the pressure, and using an atomizing nozzle to spray the atomized droplets onto the surface of the radiator in the forced circulation water cooling system, the two systems are coupled to achieve the purpose of enhancing heat exchange and recycling the hydrogen fuel cell reaction water.

Figure 8 The embodiments may be executed by the controller of the present disclosure or the battery cooling system of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The method of the embodiment may include at least one of steps 81 to 82 .
[0199] Step 81, controlling the spray cooling system 20 to recover hydrogen fuel cell reaction water.
[0200] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 81 may include: controlling the water collection system 21 to collect hydrogen fuel cell reaction water.
[0201] Step 82, controlling the spray cooling system 20 to spray hydrogen fuel cell reaction water onto the surface of the radiator, wherein the battery heat dissipation system includes a battery liquid cooling system 10 and a spray cooling system 20, and the battery liquid cooling system 10 includes a radiator.
[0202] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 82 may include: controlling the first electronic water pump 221 to pressurize the hydrogen fuel cell reaction water provided by the water collection system 21; and controlling the injection system 23 to uniformly spray the atomized droplets onto the surface of the radiator.
[0203] Fig. 9 Schematic diagrams of other embodiments of the battery heat dissipation control method disclosed in the present invention. Fig. 9 The embodiments may be executed by the controller of the present disclosure or the battery cooling system of the present disclosure. Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 The method of the embodiment may include at least one of steps 91 to 93 .
[0204] Step 91, obtaining the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell and the speed of the electronic fan.
[0205] Step 92, when the inlet and outlet water temperatures are lower than a predetermined threshold, the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve are controlled to close, and the water collecting tank is controlled to collect and cool the reaction water.
[0206] Step 93, when the inlet and outlet water temperatures are greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, control the first solenoid valve to open; according to the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell and the speed of the electronic fan, send a water pump speed control signal to the first electronic water pump 221 to control the injection flow of the spray cooling system 20.
[0207] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 93 may include: querying a corresponding relationship MAP diagram of the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell, the electronic fan speed and the injection flow rate according to the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell and the speed of the electronic fan, and determining a water pump speed control signal; sending a water pump speed control signal to the first electronic water pump 221 to control the injection flow rate of the spray cooling system 20, and controlling the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell within a safe threshold range.
[0208] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present disclosure, when the hydrogen fuel cell is in a low power output state, the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell are low, the injection system does not work (the first solenoid valve 224 is closed), and the water collecting tank solenoid valve (the second solenoid valve) is in a normally closed state. At this time, the water collecting tank collects and cools the reaction water to compensate for the insufficient injection flow rate under high power operation. After the hydrogen stack is operated at high power, the water temperature of the hydrogen fuel cell gradually increases. The controller 222 collects the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell, the speed of the electronic fan and other parameters collected by the VCU / FCU according to the water temperature-electronic fan speed-injection flow rate MAP diagram (such as Fig.10 As shown), the spray flow rate of the spray cooling system is accurately controlled to control the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell within the safety threshold range, ensuring that the hydrogen fuel cell system operates within the optimal operating temperature range. Fig.10 This is a MAP diagram for the spray cooling system injection flow control in some embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that if the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell are too high, the proton exchange membrane will be dehydrated, the conductivity will decrease, and the life and safety will be affected. If the temperature is too low, the catalyst activity will be weakened, the output voltage will decrease, and the hydrogen stack will operate at reduced power. The temperature range of too high and too low temperatures here is small. Flow control according to the MAP diagram can achieve a refined match between the spray cooling and liquid cooling coupling system.
[0209] The present disclosure establishes a MAP diagram of hydrogen fuel cell water temperature-electronic fan speed-injection flow rate through a whole vehicle calibration test. The hydrogen stack heat dissipation control module is based on the hydrogen fuel cell inlet and outlet water temperatures, electronic fan speed and other parameters collected by VCU (Vehicle Control Unit, vehicle controller) / FCU (Fuel cellControl Unit, fuel cell controller, i.e., the hydrogen fuel cell system controller of the present disclosure). According to the MAP diagram, the hydrogen fuel cell inlet and outlet water temperatures, electronic fan speed and other parameters are accurately controlled to control the injection flow rate of the spray system, and the hydrogen fuel cell inlet and outlet water temperatures are controlled within the safety threshold range, thereby ensuring that the hydrogen fuel cell system operates within the optimal operating temperature range.
[0210] Fig.11 Schematic diagrams of some other embodiments of the battery heat dissipation control method disclosed in the present invention. Fig.11 The embodiments may be executed by the controller of the present disclosure or the battery cooling system of the present disclosure. Fig.11 As shown, Fig.11The method of the embodiment may include at least one of steps 11 to 14.
[0211] Step 11, obtaining the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell, the speed of the electronic fan, and the ambient temperature collected by the ambient temperature sensor 223.
[0212] Step 12: determine whether the ambient temperature is less than a predetermined temperature threshold.
[0213] Step 13: When the ambient temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature threshold, the spray cooling system 20 is controlled to stop working.
[0214] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 13 may include: when the ambient temperature is less than a predetermined temperature threshold, controlling the first solenoid valve to close, so as to control the spray cooling system 20 to stop working.
[0215] Step 14, when the ambient temperature is not less than a predetermined temperature threshold, the spray flow rate of the spray cooling system 20 is controlled according to the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell and the speed of the electronic fan.
[0216] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 14 may include: when the ambient temperature is not less than a predetermined temperature threshold, controlling the first solenoid valve to open, and controlling the injection flow of the spray cooling system 20 according to the inlet and outlet water temperatures of the hydrogen fuel cell and the speed of the electronic fan.
[0217] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the battery heat dissipation control method may further include: opening a second solenoid valve switch to discharge hydrogen fuel cell reaction water according to a water level signal of a water collecting tank and current vehicle position information, wherein the second solenoid valve is disposed between the water collecting tank and a drain port, the drain port is configured to discharge hydrogen fuel cell reaction water, the water collecting tank is configured to collect hydrogen fuel cell reaction water, and the liquid level sensor is configured to obtain a water level signal of the water collecting tank.
[0218] When the ambient temperature is low in winter, the temperature difference of the liquid around the hydrogen fuel cell becomes larger, and the heat dissipation performance is better. Only the liquid cooling system can meet the heat dissipation requirements, and the operation of the injection system in winter will cause the outer surface of the liquid cooling system to freeze, reducing the life of the liquid cooling system. Therefore, the pumping pipeline of the present disclosure is equipped with a first solenoid valve, and the ambient temperature sensor collects the ambient temperature and feeds it back to the hydrogen stack heat dissipation control module. When the ambient temperature is less than the set temperature threshold, the control module closes the first solenoid valve and the injection system stops working.
[0219] At this time, the water collection system collects the reaction water. The present invention can select a suitable position to use the solenoid valve switch to remove the reaction water according to the water level signal transmitted by the liquid level sensor, so as to prevent the reaction water from directly flowing to the ground and freezing, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle.

[0230] The spray cooling system disclosed in the present invention collects hydrogen fuel cell reaction water, and after being pressurized by an electronic water pump, atomized droplets are evenly sprayed onto the surface of the liquid cooling system radiator through a nozzle, thereby coupling the two systems and achieving the purpose of enhancing heat exchange and recycling water generated by the fuel cell.
