Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fuel cell technology, specifically an online testing device for fuel cell systems. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) are promising energy devices with advantages such as fast reaction kinetics, high tolerance to fuel / air impurities, simple design, and improved hydrothermal management. They are expected to become the next generation of PEMFCs, specifically designed for fuel cell vehicles and combined heat and power (CHP) systems. The basic process involves reforming liquid fuel online into an anode gas suitable for the HT-PEMFC reaction. This gas is then introduced into the anode of the HT-PEMFC stack. Air is pumped into the cathode via a pump or compressor, and the stack temperature is controlled by a thermal management system to ensure stable power generation at a suitable temperature.
[0003] Current research indicates that the composition and content of the gas produced by the reformer in an HT-PEMFC system directly affect the performance and lifespan of the fuel cell stack. When the carbon monoxide content is low, the system lifespan can reach several thousand hours. However, when the carbon monoxide content is high, the poisoning of the anode catalysis is intensified, reducing stack performance and lifespan to less than several hundred hours. Furthermore, during system control, when the reformed gas composition is in a high carbon monoxide state, the system cannot identify the carbon monoxide content online and can only adjust the stack operating point through the controller to obtain the electrical energy required by the external load. This puts the stack in an accelerated poisoning state, significantly reducing its lifespan.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention discloses an online detection device for a fuel cell system. Based on the difference in output voltage of a high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell under different carbon monoxide contents, the device determines the carbon monoxide content of the gas produced by the reforming device of the HT-PEMFC system, and then determines whether the stack is in an accelerated poisoning state. In this way, the system controller changes the system operating conditions to protect the system and extend its service life. Summary of the Invention
