Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile technology, and in particular to an auxiliary test device. Background Art

[0002] At present, zero carbon and zero pollution are the future development trends of power. The principle of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is to use the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy.

[0003] During the development of hydrogen fuel cell engines, bench testing takes a relatively long time. Affected by the test bench resources, bench testing is often not matched with the radiator. Therefore, the heat dissipation of the engine is usually taken away by the cooling equipment. Since the radiator has an exhaust port, the entire fuel-electric engine cooling system lacks an exhaust port during the bench test, which will cause bubbles to exist in the weak links of the engine cooling system and cannot be discharged, resulting in the engine leaving the stack temperature being too high and the entering stack pressure being too low. Therefore, auxiliary test equipment is needed to help exhaust the cooling system.
