Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of new energy vehicles, and in particular to a thermal management method, controller, system and storage medium for fuel cell engineering vehicles. Background Art

[0002] At present, all major automobile manufacturers are launching new energy products, whether they are pure electric, hybrid, or extended-range vehicles. Designing an excellent and reasonable thermal management system can keep the temperature of the entire vehicle in a suitable temperature range, and at the same time can efficiently distribute and utilize the energy of the entire vehicle to improve the vehicle's endurance. However, in the current automotive field, most manufacturers of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have developed automotive thermal management systems that are basically independently distributed for their own heat dissipation, that is, using a distributed thermal management system for heat dissipation. The disadvantage of using a distributed thermal management system design is that there are many subsystem components, which increases costs, and it will take up a lot of space in the layout of the entire vehicle. The most important thing is that the use of distributed thermal management will make the energy of each subsystem unable to be fully utilized, that is, the waste heat generated by the system cannot be fully utilized, resulting in energy waste.

[0045] In order to achieve mutual coupling between system cooling and system heating and realize the technical effect of improving energy utilization, an embodiment of the present application provides a thermal management method for a fuel cell engineering vehicle, which realizes thermal energy sharing of multiple systems by coupling the compressor air-conditioning circuit, the fuel cell circuit, the electric drive system circuit, and the power battery circuit to improve energy utilization.

[0046] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of a thermal management method for a fuel cell engineering vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application is shown schematically. The thermal management system of the fuel cell engineering vehicle includes: a compressor air conditioning circuit, a fuel cell circuit, an electric drive system circuit, and a power battery circuit, each circuit is connected through a diversion valve, and each circuit includes its own temperature sensor.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a thermal management method for a fuel cell engineering vehicle, comprising:

[0048] S102, determining a circuit that needs to be heated and a circuit that needs to be cooled in the thermal management system according to the temperature values ​​detected by the respective temperature sensors;

[0049] S104, controlling the guide valve connecting the compressor air conditioning circuit and each circuit that needs to be heated, so as to connect the compressor air conditioning circuit and each circuit that needs to be heated, and provide heating medium for the circuit that needs to be heated;

[0050] S106, controlling the guide valve connecting the compressor air conditioning circuit and each circuit requiring heat dissipation to connect the compressor air conditioning circuit and each circuit requiring heat dissipation, and controlling the thermal regulating valve in each circuit requiring heat dissipation to convert the heating medium into the heat dissipation medium of the circuit requiring heat dissipation;

[0051] S108, determining the temperature of the reflux medium in the circuit requiring heat dissipation according to the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor in the circuit requiring heat dissipation;

[0052] S110 . When the temperature of the reflux medium meets the heating requirement temperature of the circuit that needs to be heated, control the corresponding diversion valve to allow the reflux medium to flow into the circuit that needs to be heated corresponding to the heating requirement temperature.

[0053] The thermal management method for fuel cell engineering vehicles provided in the embodiment of the present application monitors the medium temperature in each circuit through a temperature sensor to determine the circuit that needs to be heated and the circuit that needs to be cooled. The compressor air conditioning circuit and each circuit that needs to be heated are connected by controlling the diversion valve, so that the heating medium generated in the compressor air conditioning circuit is provided to each circuit that needs to be heated. Moreover, each circuit includes a thermal regulating valve. Therefore, for the circuit that needs to cool, the heating medium from the compressor air conditioning circuit can be converted into a cooling medium through the thermal regulating valve and supplied to the corresponding circuit that needs to cool. Thus, the thermal management coupling of multiple circuits is realized. In the case where there are circuits that need to cool and circuits that need to be heated at the same time, the method can monitor the temperature of the reflux medium of the circuit that needs to cool through a temperature sensor, and when the temperature of the reflux medium meets the heating requirement temperature of the corresponding circuit that needs to be heated, the corresponding diversion valve is controlled to make the reflux medium flow into the circuit that needs to be heated corresponding to the heating requirement temperature, thereby achieving full utilization of heat. Therefore, the thermal management method for fuel cell engineering vehicles provided in the embodiment of the present application can realize cooling and heating of fuel cell engineering vehicles, and multiple circuits are connected through a diversion valve to realize thermal management coupling, so that the reflux medium of the circuit that needs to dissipate heat can flow to the corresponding circuit that needs to be heated through the diversion valve for heating when the heating requirement temperature of the circuit that needs to be heated is met. Therefore, the thermal management method for fuel cell engineering vehicles provided in the embodiment of the present application breaks through the conventional vehicle thermal management system that uses multiple sub-thermal management systems to achieve cooling and heating, which is beneficial to improving the energy utilization rate of fuel cell engineering vehicles and maximizing the endurance.

[0054] It is understandable that the compressor air conditioning loop may include a compressor and may include a condenser for converting the high temperature and high pressure gas generated by the compressor into a high temperature and high pressure liquid. The high temperature and high pressure liquid generated by the condenser can be used as a heating medium for each loop. The compressor air conditioning loop may also include a first thermal valve for converting the heating medium into a heat dissipation medium. And an evaporator and a fan for conducting heat outward from the medium in the processing loop. Liquid pumps for regulating flow may be provided in the fuel cell loop, the electric drive system loop and the power battery loop, respectively. The liquid pump may be, for example, a water pump or a coolant pump. The fuel cell may include a hydrogen fuel cell, a biofuel cell, a methanol fuel cell, and the like.

[0055] The flow guide valves connecting each circuit may include a one-way valve and a multi-way valve and a combination thereof, and the number of the flow guide valves may be multiple. The heating requirement temperature may be set according to the reasonable operating temperature range of the main components in each circuit. For example, the fuel cell, the electric drive system and the power battery each have their corresponding reasonable operating temperature ranges, which can be used to set the heating requirement temperature of their corresponding circuits.

[0056] As an example, the heating requirement temperature of the fuel cell circuit can be set to the lower limit of the fuel cell's and reasonable operating temperature range. Therefore, the temperature of the return medium needs to be higher than or equal to the lower limit of the fuel cell's and reasonable operating temperature range before it can flow into the fuel cell circuit.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the circuits that need to be heated include: a fuel cell circuit and a power battery circuit, and the circuits that need to dissipate heat include an electric drive system circuit;

[0058] Control the guide valve connecting the compressor air conditioning circuit and each circuit that needs to be heated to connect the compressor air conditioning circuit and each circuit that needs to be heated, and provide heating medium for the circuit that needs to be heated, including:

[0059] Controlling a guide valve connecting the compressor air conditioning circuit and the fuel cell circuit to connect the fuel cell and the compressor air conditioning circuit;

[0060] The compressor air conditioning circuit is self-heated by a heating medium, and the heating medium is provided to the fuel cell through a guide valve connecting the fuel cell and the compressor air conditioning circuit;

[0061] When the temperature of the reflux medium meets the heating requirement temperature of the circuit to be heated, the corresponding diversion valve is controlled to make the reflux medium flow into the circuit to be heated corresponding to the heating requirement temperature, including:

[0062] When the temperature of the reflux medium of the electric drive system circuit or the power battery circuit meets the heating requirement temperature of the fuel cell circuit, the corresponding guide valve is controlled to allow the reflux medium to flow into the fuel cell circuit.

[0063] The sub-zero temperature in winter is not the best operating temperature for fuel cells and power batteries, which will affect their performance. The most suitable temperature for air conditioning in winter is usually 20 to 22 degrees. If the fuel cell and power battery need to be heated at this time, the cab air conditioning system needs to be heated, and the electric drive system needs to dissipate heat. At the same time, when the ambient temperature is below zero, the fuel cell is prone to ice formation inside. The start-up of the fuel cell usually requires auxiliary heating through an electric heating wire. After the hot fuel cell with electric heating is successfully started, its temperature usually does not reach the lower limit of the best operating temperature. Therefore, the reflux medium of the electric drive system circuit or the power battery circuit can be supplied to the fuel cell circuit to heat the fuel cell.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, when the fuel cell circuit is a circuit that needs to be heated, the fuel cell starts self-heating until the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor of the fuel cell circuit reaches the lower limit of the fuel cell temperature. When the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor of the fuel cell circuit reaches the lower limit of the fuel cell temperature, the diversion valve connected to the fuel cell circuit is adjusted to reduce the medium flow in the fuel cell circuit.

[0065] Therefore, on the one hand, the fuel cell can be quickly heated up through self-heating, and on the other hand, when the fuel cell reaches the lower limit of the fuel cell temperature, the self-heating of the fuel cell can be turned off and the medium flow in the fuel cell circuit can be reduced to achieve the technical effect of energy saving.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the thermal regulating valve in the fuel cell circuit may be, for example, an electromagnetic expansion valve, and the thermal regulating valve in the electric drive system is a thermal valve. A water pump may also be provided in the fuel cell circuit. When the fuel cell circuit is a circuit that needs to be heated and the fuel cell is turned on for self-heating, the diversion valve for connecting the compressor air conditioning circuit and the fuel cell circuit may be opened to the maximum, and the electromagnetic expansion valve in the fuel cell circuit may be opened to the maximum and only flow regulation is performed. The electric drive system circuit is a circuit that needs heat dissipation. The thermal valve in the electric drive system circuit is opened to convert the heating medium into a heat dissipation medium for heat dissipation. In addition, the compressor speed in the compressor air conditioning circuit may be set to the maximum, and the speed of the fan corresponding to the evaporator in the compressor air conditioning circuit may be set to the maximum. The water pump speed in the fuel cell circuit is set to the maximum, and the fan speed of the fan next to the electromagnetic expansion valve is set to the maximum. When the heating medium of the compressor air conditioning circuit and the power battery circuit meets the heating requirement temperature of the fuel cell circuit, the opening of the diversion valve of the compressor air conditioning circuit and the power battery circuit is set to the maximum, and the reflux medium of the compressor air conditioning circuit and the power battery circuit is used to heat the fuel cell circuit.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the fuel cell circuit and the electric drive system circuit are circuits that require heat dissipation, and the power battery circuit is a circuit that requires heating. When the temperature of the reflux medium meets the heating requirement temperature of the circuit that needs to be heated, the corresponding diversion valve is controlled to allow the reflux medium to flow into the circuit that needs to be heated corresponding to the heating requirement temperature, including: when the temperature of the reflux medium of the fuel cell circuit or the electric drive system circuit meets the heating requirement temperature of the circuit that needs to be heated, the corresponding diversion valve is controlled to allow the reflux medium to flow into the compressor air conditioning circuit and / or the power battery circuit.

[0068] Specifically, when the fuel cell circuit and the electric drive system circuit are circuits that require heat dissipation, the diversion valve connecting the compressor air-conditioning circuit with the fuel cell circuit and the electric drive system circuit is opened to the maximum, and the electromagnetic expansion valve in the fuel circuit is set to the maximum opening to control the flow of the heating medium and to release heat and cool down, and the compressor speed in the compressor air-conditioning circuit is set to the maximum. And in the case of the compressor air-conditioning circuit heating itself, the compressor speed in the compressor air-conditioning circuit can be set to the maximum, and the speed of the fan corresponding to the evaporator in the compressor air-conditioning circuit can be set to the maximum. The water pump speed in the fuel cell circuit is set to the maximum, and the fan speed of the fan next to the electromagnetic expansion valve is set to the maximum. The corresponding diversion valve openings of the compressor air-conditioning circuit and the power battery circuit are adjusted to the maximum.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the thermal management system may further include a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater, which is connected to each circuit through a diversion valve. In the case of self-heating of the compressor air-conditioning circuit, the PTC heater can be connected to the compressor air-conditioning circuit through the diversion valve and perform water heating, thereby achieving heating of the cab.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, when the fuel cell circuit is a circuit that requires heat dissipation, when the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor of the fuel cell circuit reaches the preset lower temperature limit of the fuel cell, the diverter valve connected to the fuel cell circuit is adjusted to reduce the medium flow in the fuel cell circuit. When the electric drive system circuit is a circuit that requires heat dissipation, when the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor of the electric drive system circuit reaches the preset lower temperature limit of the electric drive system, the diverter valve connected to the electric drive system circuit is adjusted to reduce the medium flow in the electric drive system circuit. This prevents the temperature of the fuel cell circuit from being too low.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, when the power battery circuit is a circuit that needs to be heated, the power battery circuit starts self-heating until the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor of the power battery circuit reaches the lower limit of the power battery temperature. When the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor of the power battery circuit reaches the lower limit of the power battery temperature, the diversion valve connected to the power battery circuit is adjusted to reduce the medium flow in the fuel cell circuit.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the preset lower temperature limit in each circuit is, for example, higher than the lower temperature limit of the reasonable operating temperature range of each circuit during the main period, thereby preventing the temperature of each circuit from being too low during the heat dissipation period.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the compressor air conditioning circuit may further include a pressure sensor.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the compressor air-conditioning circuit may include a PT (Pressure-temperature) sensor. The power battery circuit is a circuit that needs to be heated. When the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor of the compressor air-conditioning circuit reaches the lower limit of the temperature, the relationship between the supercooling degree and the system heating capacity is obtained according to the temperature and pressure data of the PT sensor to ensure that the heating capacity of the power battery circuit is met while the energy efficiency ratio is maximized. If the heating capacity meets the demand, the self-heating of the PTC heater is turned off, the throttle valve opening used to turn on the PTC heater is lowered, and the speed of the water pump corresponding to the PTC heater is reduced. When all systems meet the heating or heat dissipation requirements, the speed of the compressor is lowered, and the speed of the electronic fan corresponding to the electromagnetic expansion valve is reduced.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the circuits requiring heat dissipation include: a compressor air-conditioning circuit, a fuel cell circuit, an electric drive system circuit, and a power battery circuit.

[0076] Controlling the thermal regulating valves in each circuit requiring heat dissipation in step S106 to convert the heating medium into the heat dissipation medium of the circuit requiring heat dissipation may include:

[0077] Controlling a thermal valve of a compressor air conditioning circuit to convert a heating medium into a heat dissipation medium provided to an evaporator in the compressor air conditioning circuit;

[0078] Controlling the electromagnetic expansion valve in the fuel cell circuit to convert the heating medium into the heat dissipation medium provided to the fuel cell circuit;

[0079] Controlling a thermal valve of the electric drive system circuit to convert a heating medium into a heat dissipation medium provided to the electric drive system circuit;

[0080] The thermal valve of the power battery circuit is controlled to convert the heating medium into the heat dissipation medium provided to the power battery circuit.

[0081] Thus, by controlling the thermostatic regulating valve in each circuit, refrigeration for each circuit is achieved.

[0082] It can be understood that the reflux medium can, for example, be compressed by the compressor suction to form a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then flow through the condenser to form a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid and flow to each circuit respectively.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, step S106 may also include: when the temperature values ​​detected by the temperature sensors of the fuel cell circuit, the electric drive system circuit and the power battery circuit are greater than the upper limit of the temperature value of the respective circuits, controlling the opening of the guide valves of the compressor air-conditioning circuit and each circuit that requires heat dissipation to be maximum.

[0084] And, the thermal management method for a fuel cell engineering vehicle also includes:

[0085] When the fuel cell circuit is a circuit that requires heat dissipation and the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor of the fuel cell circuit reaches the lower temperature limit of the fuel cell, the guide valve connected to the fuel cell circuit is adjusted to reduce the medium flow in the fuel cell circuit.

[0086] Based on the above, in some embodiments of the present application, the fuel cell circuit and the electric drive system circuit respectively include respective water pumps. Before reducing the medium flow in the fuel cell circuit and the electric drive system circuit, the thermal management method for a fuel cell engineering vehicle may also include:

[0087] When the fuel cell circuit is a circuit that needs heat dissipation and the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor of the fuel cell circuit reaches the lower limit of the temperature of the fuel cell, the water pump speed of the fuel cell circuit is lowered to reduce the medium flow in the fuel cell circuit;

[0088] When the electric drive system circuit is a circuit that requires heat dissipation and the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor of the electric drive system circuit reaches the lower temperature limit of the fuel cell, the water pump speed of the fuel cell circuit is lowered to reduce the medium flow in the electric drive system circuit.

[0089] After the water pump speeds of the fuel cell circuit and the electric drive system circuit are reduced, and the temperature values ​​detected by the temperature sensors of each circuit drop to the lower temperature limits of each circuit, the electronic fan speed is reduced, and the opening of the guide valves connecting each circuit is reduced.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, during the heat dissipation of the compressor air conditioning circuit, the influence of the supercooling on the cooling capacity can be obtained according to the temperature and pressure data of the PT sensor, and the refrigerant enthalpy can be calculated to obtain the energy efficiency ratio of the thermal management system. If the cooling capacity of the compressor air conditioning circuit meets the demand, the speed of the fan corresponding to the evaporator in the compressor air conditioning circuit is reduced. Finally, when all circuits meet the cooling demand, the speed of the compressor and the speed of the electronic fan corresponding to the electromagnetic expansion valve are reduced.

[0091] The thermal management method for fuel cell engineering vehicles provided in the embodiment of the present application integrates the compressor air-conditioning circuit, the fuel cell circuit, the electric drive system circuit and the power battery circuit, realizes the energy coupling of multiple circuits, and maximizes the system energy utilization rate through the deployment of this method to improve the vehicle endurance.

[0108] The controller determines the temperature of the return medium of the circuit requiring heat dissipation according to the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor in the circuit requiring heat dissipation;

[0109] When the temperature of the reflux medium meets the heating requirement temperature of the circuit that needs to be heated, the controller controls the corresponding multi-way valve to allow the reflux medium to flow into the circuit that needs to be heated corresponding to the heating requirement temperature.

[0110] Understandably, if Figure 2 As shown, the four-way valve is provided with a first connection port and a third connection port in the transverse direction, and a second connection port and a fourth connection port in the longitudinal direction.

[0111] The thermal management system and method for fuel cell engineering vehicles provided in the embodiments of the present application. The system uses a set of heat pumps to achieve cooling and heating of multiple circuits, and the heating and cooling circuits are coupled to each other, using the least thermal management components to maximize the energy utilization of the vehicle and improve the endurance. The system also adds temperature sensors for each circuit to detect the temperature of the coolant in different systems.

[0112] The fuel cell has a heating wire for self-heating, the air conditioner has a PTC heater for self-heating, and the power battery has a heating film for self-heating. Under different working conditions, it can be determined whether to turn on self-heating according to the heating needs of each system. If only the waste heat from other circuits is used for heating and the temperature sensor signal feedback is received to meet its own heating needs, there is no need to turn on self-heating.

[0113] The components of the heat pump system, i.e. the thermal management system, are composed of heating components, heating pipelines, cooling components and cooling pipelines. Specifically, they may include compressors, condensers, water pumps, fans, evaporators, plate heat exchangers, thermal valves, solenoid valves, stop valves, water supply kettles, three-way valves, four-way valves and PT sensors.

[0114] A thermal management system is used to enable multiple systems of the vehicle to work collaboratively under different working conditions. On the one hand, the cooling of the cab air-conditioning system, the cooling of the power battery, the electric drive system and the heat dissipation of the fuel cell are integrated. The power battery cooling can be achieved through liquid-to-liquid heat exchange with the low-temperature liquid flowing out of the thermal valve 3 through a plate heat exchanger; on the other hand, the heating of the fuel cell, the heating of the cab air-conditioning and the heating of the power battery are integrated. For these three systems, self-heating will not be started when the waste heat can meet their own needs.

[0115] The present invention can realize a high degree of integration of the vehicle thermal management system with a set of heat pump systems, realize reasonable distribution and utilization of energy among systems under the deployment of the controller, and maximize the utilization rate of system waste heat recovery.

[0116] For the compressor air-conditioning circuit, the fan corresponding to the evaporator can be turned on and the electronic fan of the electromagnetic expansion valve of the fuel cell circuit can be turned on. The refrigerant forms a high-temperature and high-pressure gas under the action of the compressor, releases heat through the condenser to form a liquid, passes through the regulating valve, and forms a low-temperature liquid under the action of the thermal valve. The water pump is turned on to drive the low-temperature liquid to realize the cooling of the fuel cell, the electric drive system, the power battery, and the air conditioning. The battery cooling is achieved by liquid-liquid heat exchange through a plate heat exchanger.

The fan regulating valve can be turned on to achieve air conditioning heating. The third thermal valve can be closed to achieve liquid-liquid heat exchange through the plate heat exchanger to heat the battery. The thermal management system for fuel cell engineering vehicles provided in this application can achieve heating and cooling of multiple systems of the vehicle by using a heat pump system through flexible switching of valves.
