[0026] In this embodiment, the common air path and hydrogen path test benches on the market are combined to form a common test bench, and the system power range that can be tested is 80KW-300KW, which is wider than the test range of the BOP test bench on the market. There are many key components of the fuel cell system that can be tested, and the two paths share a cooling system, which greatly saves the test cost, improves the utilization of space, and reduces the number of operation steps, which is faster and saves a lot of time and manpower costs.

[0027] Embodiment 2

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model proposes a multifunctional BOP test bench. Compared with the first embodiment, the air path test bench includes an air filter 1, an air flow meter 2, an air compressor test piece 3, a temperature and pressure sensor 5, an intercooler test piece 4, a throttle 6, a switch valve a7 and a tail exhaust 8 which are arranged in sequence on the air path.

[0029] The cooling system a is composed of the air compressor test piece 3, the cooling flow meter 9, the intercooler test piece 4, the switch valve c11, the radiator 13, the water pump 12 and the switch valve b10 to form a circulating cooling path.

[0030] In this embodiment, the FCU controls the opening of the throttle valve 6 and the switch valve a7 to adjust the air intake and pressure of the air path. The air is taken in, passes through the air filter 1, the air flow meter 2, the air compressor test piece 3, the temperature and pressure sensor 5 and the intercooler test piece 4, and finally discharged through the tail exhaust 8. At this time, the cooling system a is also working, and the coolant passes through the water pump 12, passes through the air compressor test piece 3, the cooling flow meter 9 and the intercooler test piece 4 in turn through the opening adjustment of the switch valve b10, and finally returns to the radiator 13 through the opening adjustment of the switch valve c11. After the heat dissipation is completed, it returns to the water pump 12 again to start a new cycle.

[0031] Embodiment 3

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a multifunctional BOP test bench proposed by the utility model, compared with the first embodiment, the hydrogen path test bench includes a switch valve f14, a gas preheater 15, a proportional valve 16, a gas cooler 17, a hydrogen flow meter a18, and a hydrogen pump to be tested part 19 which are sequentially arranged on the gas path. After the hydrogen passes through the hydrogen pump to be tested part 19 and returns to the proportional valve 16, the proportional valve 16 is closed when the gas reaches the set temperature, and an internal circulation of hydrogen is formed between the gas cooler 17, the hydrogen flow meter a18 and the hydrogen pump to be tested part 19. A switch valve i22 and a tail exhaust 8 are arranged on the internal circulation pipeline to adjust the pressure of the internal circulation.

[0033] The cooling system b is composed of a radiator 13, a water pump 12, a switch valve e21, a hydrogen pump test piece 19, a switch valve d20 and a gas cooler 17 to form a circulating cooling path.

[0034] In this embodiment, it is only necessary to start the hydrogen circuit test bench of the test bench. The FCU controls the opening size of the switch valve f14 and the proportional valve 16 to adjust the intake rate and pressure of the hydrogen circuit. The hydrogen is heated by the gas preheater 15, passes through the gas cooler 17 and the hydrogen flowmeter a18 to reach the hydrogen pump test piece 19, and then returns to the back of the proportional valve 16. When the gas reaches a certain temperature, the proportional valve 16 is closed to form a cycle. When it is necessary to adjust the pressure in the cycle, the FCU controls the switch valve i22 to adjust the pressure in the cycle for tail discharge 8. At this time, the cooling system b is working at the same time, and the FCU controls the closing of the switch valve b10 leading to the air circuit. The coolant passes through the water pump, and is adjusted by the opening of the switch valve e21 and the switch valve d20. It passes through the hydrogen pump test piece 19, the gas cooler 17 and the radiator 13 in turn, and finally returns to the water pump 12 to start a new cycle.

[0035] Embodiment 4

[0037] Furthermore, a hydrogen circulation structure is arranged between the ejector test piece 27 and the hydrogen flowmeter b24, and the hydrogen circulation structure includes a switch valve h25 and a hydrogen flowmeter c26, and a circulating gas circuit is formed between the switch valve h25, the hydrogen flowmeter c26 and the ejector test piece 27.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the performance of the ejector test piece 27 needs to be tested, the FCU controls the opening of the switch valve g23 to adjust the exhaust volume and the pressure in the channel. The hydrogen reaches the ejector test piece 27 via the gas preheater 15, and then passes through the hydrogen flowmeter b24 for tail discharge. Most of the hydrogen can be recycled. By closing the switch valve g23, the hydrogen coming out of the ejector test piece 27 can be adjusted by the switch valve h25, and then return to the ejector test piece 27 via the hydrogen flowmeter c26 for reuse.

[0039] The implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
