Description
Technical Field
[0001] This patent application relates to the technical field of new energy vehicle fuel cells, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted carbon-free fuel mixing proportioning valve with a preheating function. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing global attention to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality, the automotive industry is facing pressure to transform to more environmentally friendly energy solutions. Against this backdrop, carbon-free fuel technology has emerged to provide a clean and sustainable energy alternative. Carbon-free fuel, as the name suggests, refers to fuel that produces no or very little greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide during combustion. Such fuels usually include hydrogen, methanol, biofuels, etc., and the main byproduct they produce during combustion is water vapor, which greatly reduces the impact on the environment.
[0003] In order to ensure that carbon-free fuel can be used efficiently and safely in vehicles, a device that can accurately control the fuel-air mixture ratio, namely the mixture ratio valve, is required. According to the working status and needs of the engine, the fuel supply is automatically adjusted to achieve optimal combustion efficiency and emission control.
[0004] Preheating is a critical step in some carbon-free fuel systems. For example, in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, preheating can improve the startup speed and efficiency of the fuel cell while reducing energy losses during cold starts. The preheating function ensures that the engine can run quickly and stably under various environmental conditions by preheating the fuel or air.
[0005] Integrating the preheating function into the on-board carbon-free fuel mixing ratio valve can further improve the performance and environmental friendliness of the vehicle. This integrated valve can not only adjust the fuel supply according to real-time data, but also preheat the fuel or air in a low-temperature environment to optimize the start and operation of the engine. With the advancement of technology and the strengthening of environmental protection regulations, the on-board carbon-free fuel mixing ratio valve with preheating function is expected to become an important part of the future automotive power system, providing technical support for the realization of clean, efficient and sustainable transportation.
[0006] However, the prior art has not yet provided an implementation scheme for integrating the preheating function into an on-board carbon-free fuel mixing proportioning valve. Summary of the invention
[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide a vehicle-mounted carbon-free fuel mixing proportioning valve with a preheating function in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art.

[0011] Wherein, the matching relationship between the front valve component and the rear valve component is: the confluence cavity is correspondingly connected to the flow channel.
[0012] Furthermore, from left to right, the flow channels are divided into a first horizontal flow channel, a first inclined flow channel, a vertical flow channel, a second horizontal flow channel, and a second inclined flow channel.
[0013] Furthermore, the confluence cavity is correspondingly connected to the first horizontal flow channel.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution has the following advantages:
[0020] First, the basic solution of the present application: before the hydrogen and oxygen react, the present application premixes the hydrogen and ammonia water and preheats them through a resistance wire to generate a carbon-free fuel, thereby increasing the working efficiency of the fuel cell; at the same time, preheating also has the following effects:
[0021] (1) It can enable hydrogen fuel cells to start faster in low temperature environments and reduce cold start time;

[0023] (3) Preheating can reduce the energy consumption required for the battery to reach the optimal operating temperature during startup and operation;

[0072] Simulation study:
[0073] (1) The temperature conditions of the proportional valve under different heating powers were analyzed.
[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, the heating ratio gradually increases from 400 W to 200 W until the maximum heating power is 1200 W. The inlet temperature of the hydrogen and NH3 mixed gas is -5 degrees Celsius, and the inlet flow rate of the two gases is 5 g / s.
[0075] The temperature of the heated hydrogen and NH3 mixed gas is as follows Figure 6 As shown, it can be seen that after mixing, the gas temperature rises from 0 degrees Celsius to 10 degrees Celsius after heating.
[0076] Figure 7 It can be seen that as the heating power increases, the average temperature of the heater increases from 50 degrees to 170 degrees.
[0077] Figure 8 to Figure 12 The temperature distribution diagram of the heater and the mixing chamber under different heating powers is shown. The outlet temperature and the heater temperature gradually increase with the increase of heating power, and the temperature distribution is uniform after gas mixing.
[0078] (2) In order to verify the effect of the change in inlet gas flow rate, the flow and heating temperature properties of the proportional valve were studied when the hydrogen flow rate increased from 2.5 g / s to 12.5 g / s.
[0079] The heater power is 1200W, and the hydrogen flow rate changes as follows Fig.13 As shown in the figure, after the hydrogen flow rate increases, the temperature of the mixed gas drops significantly, from 22 degrees to 3.5 degrees. Fig.14 As shown in Figure 2, the average temperature of the heater also dropped significantly, from 250 degrees Celsius to around 100 degrees Celsius. As the intake air flow rate increases, a greater intake pressure is brought about, such as Fig.15 As shown, the inlet pressure rises from 3 atmospheres to 3.7 atmospheres.
[0080] Figures 16 to 20This is the temperature distribution diagram in the heater and mixing chamber when the hydrogen flow rate increases from 2.5 g / s to 12.5 g / s. It can be seen that the temperature of the mixed gas decreases significantly after the intake flow rate increases.
