[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Currently, when problems occur during the cold start of the system, the problem of ice formation in the fuel cell system at low temperatures is generally solved through the special design of the product alone, which will consume a large amount of R & D resources and verification resources, and the effect is not ideal. It can only improve the problems of individual products or single stacks, and cannot solve the systematic problems. Moreover, for high-power fuel cell systems, a large amount of heat is required, and the cold start-up time is relatively long, which will cause an increase in hydrogen loss. When the temperature drops to -30°C and below, the system cannot be fully started through the special design of the product alone, resulting in system failures that require a lot of effort to repair, causing customer complaints.

[0042] Based on this, a cold start control method and device for a fuel cell system provided by the embodiments of the present invention can solve the problem of ice formation in the double-stack structure of high-power fuel cell systems at low temperatures through systematic comprehensive layout and heat flow distribution strategies.

[0043] To facilitate the understanding of this embodiment, first, a cold start control method for a fuel cell system disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention will be introduced in detail. This method can be applied in a fuel cell system controller.

[0044] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a cold start control method for a fuel cell system provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] Referring to Figure 1 , the cold start control method for the fuel cell system includes the following steps:

[0046] Step S102, heating the first coolant in the first channel of the fuel cell system through a first heat source, and heating the second coolant in the second channel of the fuel cell system through a second heat source.

[0047] It can be understood that some channels in the fuel cell system may have coolant flowing through to facilitate corresponding thermal management operations such as refrigeration or heating for the stack in the fuel cell system. Among them, the heat source can be understood as a device for heating the coolant, such as a PTC heater.

[0048] Step S104: Converge the first coolant and the second coolant after heat treatment to jointly provide heat for the cold start of the first stack in the fuel cell system.

[0049] Here, the dual heat of the first coolant and the second coolant heated by two heat sources respectively converges to jointly heat the first stack, so that the first stack can achieve cold start faster. It should be noted that the cold start efficiency of the stack is related to the ambient temperature of the stack. That is, if the ambient temperature of the stack increases, the cold start efficiency of the stack can be increased.

[0050] Step S106: When the first stack reaches the preset target temperature, control the first coolant and the second coolant flowing through the first stack to provide heat for the cold start of the second stack in the fuel cell system.

[0051] Here, the preset target temperature can be understood as the stack temperature corresponding to successful cold start of the stack, such as 4°C, 5°C, and 6°C, preferably 5°C; it can be understood that when the first stack is under the action of coolant flow and the temperature of the stack reaches above 5°C, that is, the first stack achieves rapid cold start. And the stack temperature is the temperature of the coolant at the stack outlet detected by the temperature sensor set at the stack outlet, that is, the stack temperature is characterized by the temperature of the coolant at the stack outlet.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of practical application, the coolants in two channels of the fuel cell system are heated by two heat sources respectively, and then the coolants heated by the two heat sources are converged, so that this dual heat jointly provides heat for the cold start of the first stack in the fuel cell system; when the first stack reaches the preset target temperature at which it can start quickly, the dual heat of the coolant is distributed to the first stack and the second stack. That is, when the coolant flows into the stack, it flows into both the first stack and the second stack to help the second stack start quickly, which can not only ensure the rapid start of the system at low temperature, but also ensure the life and durability of the stack.

[0053] In some embodiments, the schematic diagram of the architecture of the cold start control method of the fuel cell system is as Figure 2 shown. The architecture includes the following components: overflow tank TNK, cooling fan, first bypass valve (such as cooling bypass valve CBV - Coolant By - pass Valve), heater (CHTR - Coolant Heater), air inter cooler (AIC - Air Inter Cooler), coolant water pump (CWP - Coolant Water Pump), second bypass valve, air compressor (ACM - Air Compressor), air back pressure valve (ABPV: Air Back Pressure Valve), first stack and second stack;

[0054] The water side of the architecture includes an overflow tank, a cooling fan, a first bypass valve, a heater, and an intercooler, and the air side includes an air compressor and a back pressure valve;

[0055] The first end 3 of the first bypass valve is respectively connected to one end of the intercooler in the second channel, one end of the first fuel cell stack, and one end of the second fuel cell stack, and the second end 4 of the first bypass valve is connected to one end of the heater in the first channel; the third end 2 of the first bypass valve is connected to one end of the cooling fan;

[0056] The first end 5 of the second bypass valve is respectively connected to the other end of the cooling fan, the other end of the heater in the first channel, and the other end of the intercooler in the second channel, the second end 6 of the second bypass valve is connected to the other end of the first fuel cell stack, and the third end 7 of the second bypass valve is connected to the other end of the second fuel cell stack;

[0057] Wherein, a water pump is arranged between the first end 5 of the second bypass valve and the other end of the intercooler, and the water pump is used to pump the coolant in the first channel and the second channel into the first fuel cell stack and / or the second fuel cell stack; the overflow tank is used to store and supply the fuel cell coolant; the cooling fan is used to dissipate heat from the coolant on the water side; the heater (such as a PTC electric heater) can be used as the first heat source to heat the first coolant in the first channel; the bypass valve is used to adjust the flow distribution of the coolant in the cooling circuit and control the temperature of the coolant entering the fuel cell stack inlet; the air compressor is equipped with an expander, and the air compressor is used to provide air with different flow rates and pressures, and the expander can recover pressure energy; the outlet of the expander of the air compressor is connected to the intercooler, and the intercooler is used to cool the air at the outlet of the air compressor, recover energy, and meet the air inlet temperature requirement of the fuel cell stack; the back pressure valve is used to adjust the pressure at different power points on the cathode side of the fuel cell through the opening degree. The first bypass valve can be a three-way valve or a four-way valve, and the second bypass valve can be a three-way valve. The second bypass valve is, for example Figure 2 a three-way valve connected between the water pump and the first fuel cell stack and the second fuel cell stack.

[0058] In practical applications, the cold start control method of the fuel cell system provided by the embodiment of the present invention may include a first cold start stage for the first fuel cell stack and a second cold start stage for the second fuel cell stack;

[0059] For the first cold start stage, first, the coolant in the two channels is heated by two heat sources respectively:

[0060] Specifically, the first heat source arranged in the first channel on the water side of the fuel cell system is used to heat the first coolant in the first channel on the water side; the second heat source arranged on the air side of the fuel cell system is used to heat the second coolant in the second channel on the water side of the fuel cell system.

[0061] It should be noted that, such asFigure 3 As shown, where the thick black line is the coolant flow path; at this time, the third ends 2 of the first bypass valve and 7 of the second bypass valve are in the closed state; the first heat source is a heater, and the second heat source includes an air compressor and a back pressure valve; the air compressor increases its speed and closes the back pressure valve, recovering and converting the pressure energy into temperature energy and transferring it to the intercooler provided in the second channel to heat the second coolant in the intercooler.

[0062] Secondly, the coolants heated in the two channels are combined, and the dual heat is used together to supply heat for the cold start of the first fuel cell stack, so that the cold start can be achieved quickly.

[0063] Specifically, through the cooperation of the first bypass valve and the second bypass valve, the first channel and the second channel are connected in parallel and then in series with the first fuel cell stack, that is, the heater and the intercooler are connected in parallel and then in series with the first fuel cell stack and the second fuel cell stack; control the first end 3 and the second end 4 of the first bypass valve to conduct, and control the first end 5 and the second end 6 of the second bypass valve to conduct. Then, under the action of the water pump on the water side of the fuel cell system, it is possible to control the first coolant after heat treatment in the first channel and the second coolant after heat treatment in the second channel to flow into the first fuel cell stack, so that the first fuel cell stack performs a cold start operation; at this time, the first fuel cell stack reaches the target temperature, that is, the first fuel cell stack realizes the cold start operation in the first stage, and at this time, the cold start operation in the second stage is performed.

[0064] For the second stage of this cold start, as Figure 4 shown, where the thick black line is the coolant flow path; control the third end 7 of the second bypass valve to also conduct, so that the first coolant and the second coolant can flow into the second fuel cell stack in addition to flowing into the first fuel cell stack, supplying heat for the cold start of the second fuel cell stack. At this time, if the second fuel cell stack also reaches the preset target temperature, that is, the coolant temperature corresponding to the outlet of the second fuel cell stack also reaches the preset target temperature, the second fuel cell stack also realizes cold start.

[0065] As an optional embodiment, the heat of the coolant is preferentially concentrated and distributed to the first fuel cell stack, and after the cold start of the first fuel cell stack, the heat of the coolant is also distributed to the second fuel cell stack. The heat of the coolant is transferred as the coolant flows through the process, and the distribution of the coolant flow rate in the second stage of the cold start further includes:

[0066] Respectively control the opening degrees of the second end and the third end of the second bypass valve so that the coolants flowing into the first fuel cell stack and the second fuel cell stack reach a preset target ratio.

[0067] Among them, the preset target ratio can be defined by the actual calibration value. For example, 30% of the coolant flow rate flows into the first fuel cell stack and 70% of the coolant flow rate flows into the second fuel cell stack to realize the cold start operation in the second stage.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present invention, a single stack is preferentially started mainly through double heat concentration on the air path side and the water path side, so that a single stack can ensure the system startup. When the temperature reaches the cold startup standard, the heat is also distributed to the other stack, enabling the fuel cell system to make the whole vehicle operate normally at low temperature.

[0069] As Figure 5 shown, the embodiments of the present invention provide a cold startup control device for a fuel cell system, including:

[0070] A heating module that heats the first coolant in the first channel of the fuel cell system through a first heat source and heats the second coolant in the second channel of the fuel cell system through a second heat source;

[0072] A second cold startup module that, when the first stack reaches a preset target temperature, controls the first coolant and the second coolant flowing through the first stack to provide heat for the cold startup of the second stack in the fuel cell system.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first heat source includes a heater, and the second heat source includes an air compressor and a back pressure valve; the air compressor increases the rotational speed and closes the back pressure valve, converts the recovered pressure energy into temperature energy and transfers it to the intercooler provided in the second channel to heat the second coolant in the intercooler.

[0077] In some embodiments, one end of the second stack is connected to the first end of the first bypass valve, and the other end of the second stack is connected to the third end of the second bypass valve; the second cold start module is further specifically configured to, when the temperature of the first stack reaches a preset target temperature, control the third end of the second bypass valve to be conducted, so that the first coolant and the second coolant flow into the second stack to supply heat for cold start of the second stack.

[0078] In some embodiments, the device is further specifically configured to respectively control the opening degrees of the second end and the third end of the second bypass valve, so that the coolants flowing into the first stack and the second stack reach a preset target ratio.
