The main factors affecting the performance of hydrogen fuel cell stacks include flow, humidity, pressure and temperature, among which the stability of temperature mainly depends on the control and operation of the thermal management subsystem. Generally, the catalyst inside the hydrogen fuel cell stack is prone to failure at high temperatures, and its operating temperature generally does not exceed 80°C, while the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the coolant is generally not greater than 10°C. When the fuel cell is supplying power, a large amount of heat will be generated. If this part of the heat is not dissipated in time, it will affect the operation of the fuel cell. Therefore, a cooling module is set around the fuel cell, including an intercooler, an air compressor and a controller.

[0055] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0056] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0057] Fuel cells (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell, PEMFC for short) are called the fourth continuous power generation method that can continuously generate electricity after hydropower, thermal power and nuclear power. They have many technical advantages that traditional thermal power generation cannot match. They do not go through the thermal engine Carnot cycle process but directly convert the chemical energy of the fuel into electrical energy, and then drive the vehicle through the motor. When the internal combustion engine drives the generator, its efficiency is only 30% to 40%; while the efficiency of fuel cells can reach 50% to 60%. Its outstanding advantage is to reduce pollution emissions. For hydrogen fuel cells, the only product after power generation is water, which can achieve zero pollution. PEMFC's superior performance in low-temperature rapid start-up and specific power energy conversion efficiency makes it the preferred power source for vehicles. Since the electrolyte uses a polymer membrane, it has the advantages of simple structure, fast start-up, and normal temperature operation. It is most suitable for providing pollution-free power supply for vehicles such as automobiles. The heat dissipation of PEMFC fuel cell stacks is the main factor affecting the performance, life and operation safety of fuel cells, and is also one of the research and development focuses of the next generation of fuel cell technology.

[0058] During the testing process of the traditional fuel cell system development stage, GT-SUIT and other software can be used to simulate the thermal management of the fuel vehicle.

[0068] Specifically, the first difference between the coolant inlet temperature and the coolant outlet temperature is calculated, and the first product of the first difference, the coolant mass flow rate and the coolant specific heat capacity is calculated, and formula (1) can be obtained:

[0069] P h =c cw (T hin -T hout )·m h ; (1)

[0070] Among them, m h is the coolant mass flow rate, in kg / s, c cw is the specific heat capacity of the coolant, in J / (kg·℃), P his the heat dissipation power, in W, T hin is the coolant inlet temperature, in °C, T hout is the coolant outlet temperature, in °C.

[0071] Further, a second difference between the cooling air inlet temperature and the cooling air outlet temperature is calculated, and a second product of the second difference, the air constant pressure specific heat, and the air density is calculated, as shown in formula (2):

[0072] c air ·(T cout -T cin )·ρ air ; (2)

[0073] Among them, c air is the specific heat of air at constant pressure, in J / (kg·℃), T cin is the cooling air inlet temperature, in °C, T cout is the cooling air outlet temperature, in °C, ρ air is the air density, in kg / m 3 .

[0075]

[0076] Among them, V c is the cooling air flow rate, in m 3 / s.

[0080] Among them, n c is the real-time speed of the fan, in r / min, which can be obtained through the fan speed feedback signal, ω r is the angular velocity of the fan blades in rad / s.

[0081] The third product of the fan blade angular velocity and the maximum radius of the fan blade is calculated according to formula (5), and the cooling air inlet flow rate is obtained according to the ratio of the third product to the blade tip speed ratio:

[0082]

[0083] Where λ is the tip speed ratio, which is a constant provided by the fan manufacturer, and v c is the cooling air inlet velocity, in m / s.

[0084] Step S102, calculating heat calculation parameters of the fuel cell system according to the cooling air flow rate and the cooling air inlet flow rate.

[0087]

[0088] Among them, S air It is a dimensionless heat calculation parameter. When the fuel cell system operates at different power densities, the heat calculation parameter is not much different.

[0089] For example, the fuel cell system operates at 0.5 electrical density. At this time, the coolant flow meter 4 can measure the coolant mass flow m h =1.3kg / s, specific heat capacity of coolant c cw =3.5×10 3 J / (kg·℃), the coolant inlet temperature sensor 5 and the coolant outlet temperature sensor 6 measure T hin -T hout = 8°C, cooling air outlet temperature sensor 1 and cooling air inlet temperature sensor 2 measure T cout -T cin =25℃, air constant pressure specific heat c air =1.004×10 3 J / (kg·℃), air density ρ air =1.09kg / m 3 , tip speed ratio λ = 2.6, maximum fan blade radius R = 0.2m, fan speed n c =1250r / min, from this, we can calculate S air ≈0.132.

[0090] Step S103, calculating the heat dissipation power of the fuel cell system according to the heat calculation parameter and the real-time rotation speed of the fan, and calculating the heat dissipation amount of the fuel cell system according to the heat dissipation power.

[0094] That is to say, the heat calculation parameter S calculated based on the above steps is air , a preset relationship between fan speed and heat dissipation power can be established, as shown in formula (7). According to the heat calculation parameters and the real-time speed of the fan, the heat dissipation power of the fuel cell system can be calculated.

[0095] Furthermore, according to the calculated heat dissipation power of the fuel cell system and the heat dissipation time of the fuel cell system, the heat dissipation amount of the fuel cell system can be calculated, as shown in formula (8).

[0096] Q h =P h ·t; (8)

[0097] Among them, Q h is the heat dissipation amount, and t is the heat dissipation time.

[0098] It should be noted that, in addition to formula (8), there are many other ways to calculate the heat dissipation according to the heat dissipation power, such as integral calculation, etc., which are only exemplified here and are not specifically limited.
