TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle power system thermal management, in particular to a thermal management control system and method of a liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system for an aircraft. BACKGROUND
[0002] The hydrogen fuel cell system has the characteristics of high heat generation, low working temperature, and temperature-sensitive performance when working. The current mainstream hydrogen fuel cell system has a working temperature of 60-80℃, and the performance of the hydrogen fuel cell is very sensitive to temperature fluctuations. A lower temperature will cause performance degradation, and a higher temperature will cause life degradation. According to different heat dissipation methods, the hydrogen fuel cell system for an aircraft mainly includes an air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system and a liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system. The air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system has a relatively low power, generally not more than 5kw, and the heat dissipation design is relatively simple, and oxygen supply and heat dissipation are achieved by the same set of fans. The liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system has a relatively high output power, which can be up to more than 200kw. When the aircraft / unmanned aerial vehicle is large, a suitable thermal management system and control method are needed to meet the temperature control requirements of the fuel cell system when using the liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system as the power source.
[0003] The current mainstream heat dissipation design scheme includes: combining the heat dissipation requirements of the fuel cell system with the airflow of the skin and the propeller to design a skin heat dissipation and a propeller / ducted propeller heat dissipation. However, the skin heat dissipation requires airflow passing through the outer surface of the aircraft, and the propeller / ducted propeller heat dissipation requires a certain rotational speed of the propeller. This heat dissipation form that couples the heat dissipation of the hydrogen fuel cell system with the rotational speed of the propeller / skin surface airflow speed is not applicable in some application scenarios, such as the ground debugging stage of the aircraft, when the fuel cell needs to maintain a certain power and the propeller cannot have too high a rotational speed or cannot be started. At this time, a thermal management scheme is needed that can efficiently achieve stable temperature control on the ground and in the air of the aircraft, and as much as possible provides a wider heat dissipation power range to achieve the purpose of improving the heat dissipation utilization efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0063] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the following will further illustrate the technical solutions for achieving the purposes of the present application through specific examples. It should be noted that the technical solutions claimed by the present application include but are not limited to the following examples. Based on the examples in the present application, all other examples obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0064] The present embodiment discloses a thermal management control system for a liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system of an airplane, Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of the thermal management control system of the present application, as Figure 1 indicated, the thermal management control system is composed of two parts of heat dissipation circulation, i.e. a fuel cell cooling circuit and an airborne equipment cooling circuit. The fuel cell cooling circuit forms a first region of the thermal management control system and is configured to control the temperature of the cooling liquid entering the stack 1 and the temperature difference of the cooling liquid at the inlet and outlet of the stack 1. The airborne equipment cooling circuit forms a second region of the thermal management control system and is mainly used for heat dissipation of the airborne equipment. When the fuel cell system and the airborne equipment are started and operated, the above two cooling circuits are operated synchronously, the water pumps in the circuits are turned on, and the cooling liquid flows along the circuits in the directions indicated by the arrows in the figure. Figure 1The arrow direction shown flows. And, the fuel cell cooling loop and the airborne equipment cooling loop are in a coupling relationship, the side with high temperature transfers heat to the side with low temperature, and the two are coupled to each other through a heat exchange component to achieve heat exchange; wherein
[0065] The fuel cell cooling loop is composed of a cooling liquid main circulation and a cooling liquid auxiliary circulation. The cooling liquid main circulation is composed of a first water pump 2, a first thermostat 3, a heat dissipation unit 4, a first three-way pipe 5 and a stack 1 arranged in series along the cooling liquid flow direction. The first water pump 2 is connected to the outlet of the stack 1, and the first three-way pipe 5 is connected to the inlet of the stack 1. The cooling liquid auxiliary circulation is composed of the first water pump 2, the first thermostat 3, the first three-way pipe 5 and the stack 1 arranged in series along the cooling liquid flow direction. In the entire liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system, the stack 1 is a device for generating electricity and heat by reacting hydrogen and oxygen, and is the largest heat source in the system. The cooling liquid main circulation is the main heat dissipation mode for the stack. The first water pump 2 is a device for making the cooling liquid flow in the fuel cell cooling loop, and the flow can be controlled by adjusting the speed, and the speed range is R 1min ~R 1max .
[0066] The heat exchange component is arranged between the first three-way pipe 5 and the stack 1, and includes a second thermostat 6 and a second three-way pipe 7 arranged in series along the cooling liquid flow direction. The pipeline between the second thermostat 6 and the second three-way pipe 7 has a heat exchanger 14, which is also connected to the airborne equipment cooling loop and communicates with the airborne equipment cooling loop. The second thermostat 6, the heat exchanger 14 and the second three-way pipe 7 form a heat exchange loop. Therefore, the fuel cell cooling loop and the airborne equipment cooling loop are coupled through the heat exchanger, and heat exchange is performed based on the heat exchange loop.
[0067] In the initial operation stage of the fuel cell system, the first thermostat 3 is controlled to be closed, and the cooling liquid flows in the cooling liquid auxiliary circulation, that is, the cooling liquid returns to the stack after passing through the first water pump 2, the first thermostat 3 and the first three-way pipe 5, and is used for heat preservation in the starting stage of the stack 1 to achieve rapid heating of the stack 1.
[0068] It can be understood that auxiliary heating devices such as PTC and the like can be added to the intermediate pipeline from the first thermostat 3 to the first three-way pipe 5 as needed, so as to accelerate the heating speed of the stack 1.
[0069] And, if the temperature of the airborne equipment cooling loop is higher than the temperature in the cooling liquid auxiliary circulation, the airborne equipment cooling loop can be coupled to the fuel cell cooling loop, and heat exchange is performed between the two, so that the heat of the airborne equipment cooling loop is transferred to the cooling liquid auxiliary circulation, thereby better and faster achieving the heating and heat preservation of the stack. Based on the above operation, the effect of energy saving and efficiency increasing can also be achieved, and the energy consumption can be reduced.
[0070] In the low power state operation stage of the fuel cell system, the first thermostat 3 is controlled to be closed, the cooling liquid flows in the cooling liquid auxiliary circulation, that is, the cooling liquid returns to the fuel cell stack 1 through the first thermostat 3 and the first three-way pipe 5, and the on-board equipment cooling loop is coupled to the fuel cell cooling loop and configured to exchange heat with the fuel cell cooling loop to achieve heat dissipation of the fuel cell stack 1.
[0071] At this time, since the heat generated by the fuel cell system is low in the low power operation stage, the cooling liquid auxiliary circulation loop and the coupled on-board equipment cooling loop can achieve good heat dissipation effect, and the main circulation is not needed, so that the energy consumption can be reduced and the heat dissipation power can be fully utilized.
[0072] With the increase of the operation power of the fuel cell system, the temperature of the cooling liquid gradually increases, the first thermostat 3 is controlled to be opened, the cooling liquid returns to the fuel cell stack 1 through the first thermostat 3 and the first three-way pipe 5 and / or the first thermostat 3, the heat dissipation unit 4 and the first three-way pipe 5, and the on-board equipment cooling loop is also coupled to the fuel cell cooling loop and configured to exchange heat with the fuel cell cooling loop to achieve rapid heat dissipation of the fuel cell stack 1.
[0073] In the embodiment described in the present application, the second water pump 11, the DC / DC 12, the on-board electronic heat source 13 and the auxiliary heat sink 10 are sequentially arranged in the on-board equipment cooling loop along the flow direction of the cooling liquid. The heat of the DC / DC 12, the on-board electronic heat source 13 and other equipment can be discharged through the auxiliary heat sink 10. The heat exchanger is coupled between the on-board electronic heat source 13 and the auxiliary heat sink 10.
[0074] It should be noted that the auxiliary heat sink 10 is used as an independent heat dissipation and is not coupled with the aircraft propeller, the skin heat sink and the like. The on-board electronic heat source 13 generally refers to the electronic devices on the aircraft that need to be cooled, which are treated as heat sources here.
[0075] Further, the heat dissipation unit 4 includes a four-way valve 401, a plate heat sink 4-1, a skin heat sink 4-2 and a ducted propeller heat sink 4-3, the four-way valve 4-0 is connected with the first thermostat 3, and the plate heat sink 4-1, the skin heat sink 4-2 and the ducted propeller heat sink 4-3 are connected in parallel, one end of which is connected with the four-way valve 4-0 and the other end is connected with the first three-way pipe 5.
[0076] The entire heat dissipation unit 4 is the main heat dissipation structure of the fuel cell cooling loop, and the four-way valve 4-0 is an adjusting and distributing device for adjusting the flow of the cooling liquid into the three heat sinks. The plate heat sink 4-1 is a common heat dissipation device, which will not be described in detail here. The skin heat sink 4-2 is a device for heat dissipation through the skin of the aircraft, and the ducted propeller heat sink 4-3 is a device for heat dissipation through the ducted propeller of the aircraft. These two heat dissipation devices are also conventional structures.
[0077] In the embodiments described in the present application, the opening degree of the first thermostat 3 and the second thermostat 6 directly affects the flow path of the coolant in the cooling circuit. Specifically, the first thermostat 3 is a switch that adjusts and distributes the flow of the coolant in the main coolant circulation and the auxiliary coolant circulation in the fuel cell cooling circuit. For example, according to the present application, when the first thermostat 3 is closed (0% opening degree), the coolant does not flow through the heat dissipation unit 4 and only flows in the auxiliary coolant circulation, and then returns to the stack 1 after passing through the first water pump 2, the first thermostat 3, and the first three-way pipe 5. When the first thermostat 3 is fully open (100% opening degree), the coolant does not enter the auxiliary coolant circulation and only flows in the main coolant circulation, and then returns to the stack 1 after passing through the first water pump 2, the first thermostat 3, the heat dissipation unit 4, and the first three-way pipe 5. When the opening degree of the first thermostat 3 is between 0% and 100%, the coolant flows in both the main coolant circulation and the auxiliary coolant circulation, and then returns to the stack 1 after passing through the first thermostat 3 and the first three-way pipe 5, and returns to the stack 1 after passing through the first thermostat 3, the heat dissipation unit 4, and the first three-way pipe 5.
[0078] Further, the second thermostat 6 is a device for adjusting the flow of the coolant through the heat exchanger in the fuel cell cooling circuit. According to the present application, when the second thermostat 6 is fully closed (0% opening degree), the coolant does not flow through the heat exchanger 14. When the second thermostat 6 is fully open (100% opening degree), the coolant flows through the heat exchanger 14 and then flows through the stack 1. When the opening degree of the second thermostat 6 is between 0% and 100%, part of the coolant flows through the heat exchanger 14 and then flows through the stack 1, and part of the coolant does not pass through the heat exchanger 14 and directly flows through the stack 1.
[0079] In some embodiments, the thermal management control system can further include an expansion tank 9 connected to the first water pump 2 and the stack inlet, respectively. The branch from the stack 1 to the expansion tank 9 is an exhaust branch for discharging bubbles in the main coolant circulation and controlling the pressure difference in the environment and the circuit. The branch from the expansion tank 9 to the first water pump inlet is a water supplement branch for supplementing the coolant in the cooling circuit by adding water in the expansion tank 9.
[0080] In some embodiments, the fuel cell cooling circuit further includes a deionization tank 8 connected to the heat dissipation unit 4 and the expansion tank 9, respectively. The branch from the heat dissipation unit 4 to the deionization tank 8 to the expansion tank 9 is a deionization branch for removing ions precipitated in the coolant in the circuit.
[0081] Based on the same inventive concept, the application further discloses a thermal management control method of the liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system for an aircraft, which is realized based on the above thermal management control system. When the fuel cell system starts to run, the corresponding cooling loop starts to work, and the cooling liquid in the loop flows in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the temperature control of the fuel cell system is realized through the control flowchart of the cooling liquid temperature. Figure 1 Figures 2-5 Specifically, the temperature control of the fuel cell system is realized by adjusting the opening degree of the thermostats and the opening degree of the water pump to control the cooling liquid temperature entering the inlet of the stack and the cooling liquid temperature difference at the inlet of the stack (the inlet and outlet cooling liquid temperature difference = the outlet cooling liquid temperature - the inlet cooling liquid temperature).
[0082] Wherein, the target temperature of the cooling liquid at the inlet of the stack of the liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system is T0, the target temperature difference of the cooling liquid at the inlet and outlet of the stack is ΔT0; the current temperature of the cooling liquid at the inlet of the stack is T, and the current target temperature difference of the cooling liquid at the inlet and outlet of the stack is ΔT. A certain error is allowed, which can be 1℃ or 2℃ (determined by the system control accuracy and design index). When the actual collected value is within the error range of the target value, it is considered that the control effect meets the requirements, and at this time T≈T0 and ΔT≈ΔT0.
[0083] The specific control logic and implementation process of the thermal management control method of the liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system for an aircraft are as follows:
[0084] (1) The system starts to work, and the liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell system starts to work.
[0085] (2) In the initial starting state, the temperature sensor works and feeds back in real time, and the components work under the preset conditions:
[0086] (2.1) The temperature sensor collects the inlet and outlet cooling liquid temperatures of the stack in real time (obtains the feedback values: the current inlet cooling liquid temperature of the stack, the current temperature difference of the cooling liquid at the inlet and outlet of the stack);
[0087] (2.2) The first thermostat 3 and the second thermostat 6 are in the full-off state;
[0088] (2.3) The first water pump 2 in the main cooling liquid circulation runs at the lowest speed, and the cooling liquid starts to circulate in the auxiliary cooling liquid circulation at the lowest flow rate (at this time, it only circulates in the auxiliary cooling liquid circulation), and the heat dissipation of the thermal management control system is the smallest;
[0089] (2.4) The second water pump 11 in the airborne equipment cooling loop runs at a constant speed (usually the maximum speed), and the auxiliary radiator 10 in the loop runs at the maximum heat dissipation power (Note: The heat dissipation requirement of the DC / DC and other airborne equipment in the airborne equipment cooling loop is not very high, so the water pump and the radiator are both opened to the maximum to improve the heat dissipation capacity as much as possible, and the excess heat dissipation capacity is provided to the fuel cell cooling loop through the second thermostat 6 and the heat exchanger 14 for the heat dissipation of the entire hydrogen fuel cell system).
[0090] (3) The corresponding closed-loop control is made according to the current temperature feedback and the working state of the components, and the overall control logic is as follows:
[0091] If the current stack inlet coolant temperature < stack inlet coolant target temperature, and the current stack inlet and outlet coolant temperature difference ≥ stack inlet and outlet coolant target temperature difference, the opening of the thermostat is reduced and the water pump speed is increased.
[0092] If the current stack inlet coolant temperature < stack inlet coolant target temperature, and the current stack inlet and outlet coolant temperature difference ≥ stack inlet and outlet coolant target temperature difference, the opening of the thermostat is reduced and the water pump speed is increased.
