Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a temperature control device for a fuel cell. Background Art

[0002] At present, the combustion chamber and reforming chamber in the fuel cell stack module will produce high-temperature exhaust gas. In order to recycle it, the high-temperature exhaust gas is mostly used for heating the lithium battery pack.

[0003] Prior art CN205632164U discloses a temperature control system for a power system including a fuel cell and a lithium battery. The prior art utilizes the high-temperature exhaust gas of the fuel cell stack module to heat the lithium battery stack. The combustion chamber and the reforming chamber in the fuel cell stack module will produce high-temperature exhaust gas, and the battery stack will also generate a certain amount of heat when used to generate electricity. The high-temperature exhaust gas exhaust pipe is respectively connected to a waste heat recycling pipe and a bypass pipe that can heat the lithium battery pack. The function of the bypass pipe is to directly discharge the high-temperature exhaust gas in summer without passing through the waste heat recycling pipe. The temperature sensor arranged in the lithium battery stack module can detect the temperature of the lithium battery stack module and determine whether the lithium battery stack needs to be heated, thereby controlling the first air valve and the second air valve to determine the technical effect of which pipe the high-temperature exhaust gas passes through.

[0004] However, when the temperature control system of the above-mentioned power system including a fuel cell and a lithium battery is actually used, there is no return air pipe on the lithium battery pack module side that can play a reflux role. The high-temperature exhaust gas entering the lithium battery pack module cannot form circulating convection at the lithium battery pack module, which reduces the heating effect of the high-temperature exhaust gas. In severe cases, it will cause the lithium battery pack module to be locally overheated, and even the service life of the lithium battery pack module will be reduced, which is inconvenient to use.
