[0049] Specifically:

[0050] The present utility model discloses a dual-stack fuel cell air system, which mainly includes a first stack 16, a second stack 17, an intake system, an exhaust system, a purging system and a humidifying system.

[0051] By the coordinated use of the first throttle valve 5, the third throttle valve 7, the second throttle valve 6 and the fourth throttle valve 8 in the present utility model, the problem of the consistency of the air intake pressure of the first stack 16 and the second stack 17 can be solved. At the same time, the expander 11 is used to reduce the power consumption of the fuel cell system, and the liquid water discharged from the fuel cell system is used to humidify the fuel cell.

[0052] The air intake systems and the exhaust systems of the first stack 16 and the second stack 17 in the present utility model are in a parallel relationship, and a air humidifying system is provided at the same time.

[0053] The air intake system includes an air filter 1, a mass flow meter 2, an air compressor 3, an intercooler 4, a first throttle valve 5, a third throttle valve 7 and a bypass valve 9.

[0054] The first throttle valve 5 and the third throttle valve 7 are branched out from before the first bypass valve 9. The first throttle valve 5 is connected to the inlet of the first stack 16, and the third throttle valve 7 is connected to the inlet of the second stack 17. A temperature and pressure integrated sensor 101 is provided between the first electronic throttle valve, the third electronic throttle valve and the stack.

[0055] Further, the first stack 16 and the second stack 17 are provided with purge inlets, and gas is led out after the intercooler 4 to purge the first stack 16 and the second stack 17.

[0056] Further, the air exhaust system includes a second electronic throttle valve, a fourth electronic throttle valve, a gas-liquid separator 10, an expander 11, an exhaust mixing pipe 12, a muffler 13, and a second bypass valve 9.

[0057] The second throttle valve 6 is connected to the outlet of the first stack 16, and the fourth throttle valve 8 is connected to the outlet of the second stack 17. A temperature and pressure integrated sensor 101 is provided between the second electronic throttle valve and the fourth electronic throttle valve. After the second electronic throttle valve and the fourth electronic throttle valve converge, the air flowing out of the bypass valve 9 enters the gas-liquid separator 10 together for gas-liquid separation.

[0058] The gas-liquid separator 10 is not limited to the baffle type and vortex type separation forms.

[0059] Further, the first stack 16 and the second stack 17 are provided with purge outlets. After the gas purged by the first stack 16 and the second stack 17 converges, it converges with the gas separated from the gas-liquid separator 10 at the front section of the expander 11 and then flows to the expander 11; the gas after being utilized by the expander 11 enters the exhaust mixing pipe 12 and then passes through the muffler 13 to reduce noise, and finally is exhausted from the fuel cell system into the atmosphere.

[0060] Further, the air humidification system includes an electronic three-way valve 14 and an ultrasonic nebulizer 15. One outlet of the electronic three-way valve 14 is connected to the inlet of the ultrasonic nebulizer 15, and the other outlet is connected to the exhaust mixing pipe 12. The highly humid gas passing through the ultrasonic nebulizer 15 is mixed with the compressed gas after the air compressor 3 and then enters the intercooler 4 together.

[0061] The excess liquid flows into the exhaust mixing pipe 12 through the other outlet of the electronic three-way valve 14, and is discharged from the fuel cell system into the atmosphere together with the gas after being utilized by the expander 11 through the muffler 13.

[0062] The first stack 16 and the second stack 17 of the present utility model work independently.

[0063] The air intake system includes an air filter 1, a mass flow meter 2, an air compressor 3, an intercooler 4, a first throttle valve 5, a third throttle valve 7, and a bypass valve 9. The first throttle valve 5 and the third throttle valve 7 are branched out before the bypass valve 9. The first throttle valve 5 is connected to the inlet of the first stack 16, and the third throttle valve 7 is connected to the inlet of the second stack 17. A temperature and pressure integrated sensor 101 is provided between the first throttle valve 5 and the third throttle valve 7 and the stack.

[0064] Further, the air filter 1 can perform physical filtration and chemical adsorption. Physical filtration can filter out impurities and dust in the air, and chemical filtration can adsorb harmful gases such as nitrogen compounds and sulfur compounds in the air to the membrane electrode. After air filtration, clean air is provided for the stack. The mass flow meter 2 is used to monitor whether the intake air flow meets the stack requirements. The gas compressed by the air compressor 3 meets the air pressure requirements of the stack. The intercooler 4 cools the air pressurized by the air compressor 3 to reach the optimal operating temperature of 70-80 °C for the stack. When the fuel cell system is shut down, the first electronic throttle valve 5 and the third electronic throttle valve 7 are completely closed to play a sealing role. When the fuel cell system is working, the first electronic throttle valve 5 and the third electronic throttle 7 are in a fully open state (100% opening) to reduce the flow resistance. The bypass valve 9 allows the gas compressed by the air compressor 3 to meet the stack needs while discharging the excess air through the bypass valve 9, and at the same time, it can prevent the air compressor 3 from surging.

[0065] Further, the air intake system is in a parallel structure with the first stack 16 and the second stack 17

[0066] Further, the air compressor 3 is regulated by the air compressor 3 controller according to the flow rate and pressure required for the operation of the first stack 16 and the second stack 17 to meet their requirements.

[0067] Further, temperature and pressure integrated sensors are provided between the first electronic throttle valve 5 and the first stack 16, and between the third electronic throttle valve 7 and the second stack 17 to monitor the intake air pressure and temperature entering the first stack 16 and the second stack 17.

[0068] When the fuel cell is operating normally, a small amount of hydrogen and water vapor will seep into the interior of the stack housing. In this case, part of the gas is led out after the intercooler 4 and enters the purge inlets of the first stack 16 and the second stack 17 respectively.

[0069] Further, the air exhaust system includes a second throttle valve 6, a fourth throttle valve 8, a gas-liquid separator 10, an expander 11, a tail exhaust mixing pipe 12, and a muffler 13.

[0070] The second throttle valve 6 is connected to the outlet of the first stack 16, and the fourth throttle valve 8 is connected to the outlet of the second stack 17. A temperature and pressure integrated sensor 101 is provided between the second electronic throttle valve 6 and the first stack 16, and a temperature and pressure integrated sensor 101 is provided between the fourth electronic throttle valve 8 and the second stack 17. After the second electronic throttle valve 8 and the fourth electronic throttle valve 8 converge, they enter the gas-liquid separator 10 together with the air flowing out of the bypass valve 9 for gas-liquid separation. The gas-liquid separator 10 is not limited to the baffle type and vortex type separation forms.

[0071] Further, when the fuel cell system is operating normally, the second electronic throttle valve 6 and the fourth electronic throttle valve 8 respectively regulate the pressure of the first fuel cell stack 16 and the second fuel cell stack 17. When the fuel cell system shuts down, the second electronic throttle valve 6 and the fourth electronic throttle valve 7 are in the closed state to prevent air from entering the fuel cell stack. The gas-liquid separator 10 separates the gas and liquid in the gas-liquid mixture generated when the first fuel cell stack 16 and the second fuel cell stack 17 are operating, preventing the weak acidic liquid during the operation of the fuel cell stack from entering the expander 11 and causing mechanical damage and corrosion to the impeller. The gas separated by the gas-liquid separator 10 enters the expander 11 to drive the impeller to generate electricity and improve the efficiency of the system. The air flowing through the expander 11 enters the muffler 13 through the tail exhaust mixing pipe 12 and then is discharged. The muffler 13 reduces the noise generated by the air flowing in the pipeline during the operation of the system and improves the comfort of the system.

[0072] Further, a temperature and pressure integrated sensor is provided between the second electronic throttle valve 6 and the first fuel cell stack 16 to monitor the temperature and pressure of the first fuel cell stack 16 when it exits the stack, where the detected pressure is P1. Temperature and pressure integrated sensors are respectively provided between the fourth electronic throttle valve 8 and the second fuel cell stack 17 to monitor the temperature and pressure of the second fuel cell stack 17 when it exits the stack, where the detected pressure is P2. Additionally, the preset pressure of the first fuel cell stack 16 and the second fuel cell stack 17 at a certain operating point is set as P. When P1 < P, the opening degree of the second electronic throttle valve is reduced to make P1 = P. When P2 < P, the opening degree of the fourth electronic throttle valve is reduced to make P2 = P. When P2 > P, the opening degree of the fourth electronic throttle valve is increased to make P1 = P. When P2 > P, the opening degree of the fourth electronic throttle valve is increased to make P2 = P. The above can be adjusted in real time according to the instructions sent by the control system, and the response time of the electronic throttle valve is selected to be < 150 ms to meet the pressure consistency of the first fuel cell stack 16 and the second fuel cell stack 17.

[0073] Further, the gas discharged from the purge outlets of the first fuel cell stack 16 and the second fuel cell stack 17 enters the inlet of the expander 11, increasing the intake air flow of the expander 11 and improving the power generation.

[0074] Further, in the humidification system of the present utility model, it includes a humidification pipeline 106, an electronic three-way valve 14, and an ultrasonic nebulizer 15. At the same time, a humidity sensor is provided after the cooler 4 in the intake air system. According to the signal fed back by the humidity sensor, the corresponding opening degree of the electronic three-way valve 14 is adjusted, and the ultrasonic nebulizer 15 atomizes the liquid into a gaseous state to humidify and cool the high-temperature gas compressed by the air compressor 3.

[0075] Compared with using a humidifier to passively humidify the air, this embodiment actively humidifies the air, not only reducing costs but also improving the volume density of the system.

[0076] Further, the excess liquid after humidification flows into the tail exhaust mixing pipe 12 through another outlet of the electronic three-way valve 14, and is discharged into the atmosphere outside the fuel cell system together with the gas used by the expander 11 through the muffler 13.

[0077] Obviously, the specific implementation of the present utility model is not limited by the above-mentioned manner. As long as various non-substantive improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present utility model, they are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
