[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a fuel cell air compressor test system. Those skilled in the art will understand that fuel cell air compressors include various types, including electric air compressors that only have a compressor but no turbine, and air compressors that have both a compressor and a turbine.

[0061] The fuel cell air compressor test system in this embodiment includes a first air supply module 1, a first exhaust module 2, a second air supply module 3, a second exhaust module 4, and a cooling system 5. The first air supply module 1 includes a first air intake line 11, a first nitrogen intake line 12, a first air supply line 13, and a first temperature control device 14. The first ends of the first air intake line 11 and the first nitrogen intake line 12 are both connected to the first end of the first air supply line 13. The first air intake line 11 and the first nitrogen intake line 12 are both provided with control valves. The control valve provided on the first air intake line 11 is a first control valve 111, and the control valve provided on the first nitrogen intake line 12 is a second control valve 121. The second end of the first air supply line 13 is used to communicate with the air inlet of the compressor 100 under test.

The second air intake pipeline 31 and the second nitrogen intake pipeline 32 are both connected to the second air supply pipeline 35. The second air intake pipeline 31 and the second nitrogen intake pipeline 32 are both equipped with control valves. The control valve provided on the second air intake pipeline 31 is a third control valve 311, and the control valve provided on the second nitrogen intake pipeline 32 is a fourth control valve 321.

The second end of the second air supply pipeline 35 is connected to the air intake of the turbine 200 under test. The second exhaust module 4 includes a second exhaust line 41 connected to the exhaust port of the turbine under test 200. The first end of the second exhaust line 41 is connected to the exhaust port of the turbine under test 200, and the second end is connected to the atmosphere.

In this embodiment, the first control valve 111, the second control valve 121, the third control valve 311, and the fourth control valve 321 are all flow control valves. When the fuel cell air compressor test system tests an electric air compressor that is only equipped with a compressor but not a turbine, the cooling system 5 supplies cooling medium to the compressor 100 under test. When the fuel cell air compressor test system tests an air compressor that is equipped with both a compressor and a turbine, the cooling system 5 can also supply cooling medium to the compressor 100 under test and the air supply compressor 33 at the same time. In addition, when testing an air compressor that is equipped with both a compressor and a turbine, under certain working conditions, the cooling system 5 can also supply cooling medium only to the air supply compressor 33.
[0062] The fuel cell air compressor test system provided in this embodiment is provided with a first air supply module 1 to supply air to the tested compressor 100, and a second air supply module 3 to supply air to the tested turbine 200. The first air supply module 1 includes a first air intake line 11 and a first nitrogen intake line 12, both of which are provided with control valves. The second air supply module 3 includes a second air intake line 31 and a second nitrogen intake line 32, both of which are also provided with control valves. Therefore, by changing the air supply volume of the first air intake line 11 and the first nitrogen line, the intake gas composition of the tested compressor 100 can be changed, and by changing the air supply volume of the second air intake line 31 and the second nitrogen line, the intake gas composition of the tested turbine 200 can be changed.

Furthermore, the first air supply module 1 also includes a first temperature control device 14, and the second air supply module 3 also includes a second temperature control device 34 to regulate the intake temperature of the compressor 100 and the turbine under test 200.

By providing the first container 15, the air supplied by the first air intake line 11 and the nitrogen supplied by the first nitrogen intake line 12 are mixed within the first container 15 before entering the compressor 100 under test, thereby ensuring a uniform gas composition entering the compressor 100 under test. The second air supply module 3 further includes a second container 36. The first ends of the second air intake line 31 and the second nitrogen intake line 32 are both connected to the second container 36, and the first end of the second air supply line 35 is also connected to the second container 36. By providing the second container 36 , the air supplied by the second air intake line 31 and the nitrogen supplied by the second nitrogen intake line 32 are mixed in the second container 36 before entering the compressor 100 under test, thereby making the gas composition entering the compressor 100 under test uniform.
[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 1As shown, the first air supply module 1 also includes a first atomizer 16, which is disposed on the first container 15 and is used to humidify the gas in the first container 15.

The second air supply module 3 also includes a second atomizer 37, which is disposed on the second container 36 and is used to humidify the gas in the second container 36.

[0069] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, the first air supply module 1 also includes a first sensor group 18, which is disposed in the connecting pipeline between the first heat exchanger 141 and the tested compressor 100.

When surge of the air supply compressor 33 is observed (for a certain period of time, the speed of the tested compressor 100 and the opening value of the seventh control valve 211 remain unchanged, the flow value measured by the first flowmeter 6 and the pressure value measured by the second pressure sensor in the second sensor group 23 fluctuate periodically, and when the fluctuation value of the amplitude exceeds the set value, it is determined to be surge), the fifth control valve 251 will automatically open to release the pipeline pressure.

[0080] The working principle of this utility model:
[0081] The first container 15 is used to store a mixture of multiple gases. The first control valve 111 controls the amount of air entering the first container 15. The second control valve 121 controls the amount of nitrogen entering the first container 15. The first atomizer 16 controls the humidity of the gas in the first container 15. The first temperature control device 14 controls the temperature of the gas mixture entering the tested compressor 100. The first sensor group 18 monitors the temperature, pressure, humidity, and oxygen concentration of the gas entering the tested compressor 100. The first check valve 131 prevents gas from the first container 15 from flowing only from the first container 15 to the tested compressor 100. The first flowmeter 6 monitors the flow rate of gas entering the tested compressor 100. The tested compressor 100 is the object of measurement. The second sensor group 23 monitors the gas pressure and temperature at the outlet of the tested compressor 100. If surge is detected in the tested compressor 100, the fifth control valve 251 automatically opens to release pipeline pressure. The third temperature control device 22 controls the temperature of the mixed gas at the outlet of the tested compressor 100. The third sensor group 24 monitors the gas pressure and temperature at the outlet of the third temperature control device 22. The seventh control valve 211 controls the circuit flow rate and back pressure. The first muffler 26 is used to reduce noise. The cooling system 5 connects the cooling flow path of the tested compressor 100 and the supply compressor 33 through a cooling pipeline.
[0082] Filter 39 filters impurities from the gas entering the air supply compressor 33. The air supply compressor 33 controls the gas pressure upstream of the third control valve 311, thereby controlling the pressure of the gas entering the second container 36. The second temperature control device 34 controls the temperature of the gas at the outlet of the air supply compressor 33, ensuring controllable temperature of the gas entering the turbine 200 under test. The third control valve 311 controls the volume of gas entering the second container 36 from the outlet of the air supply compressor 33, effectively controlling the amount of compressed air entering the second container 36. Nitrogen enters the second container 36 through the fourth control valve 321 and the third check valve 322. The fourth control valve 321 controls the amount of nitrogen entering the second container 36. Water enters the second container 36 through the atomizer and mixes with the other two gases, controlling the humidity of the gas in the second container 36. The second container 36 is used to store a mixture of multiple gases, and gas composition can be controlled by adjusting the volume of each gas. If surge is detected in the air supply compressor 33, the sixth control valve 431 will automatically open to release pipeline pressure. The outlet gas pressure of the third control valve 311 is high. This, in conjunction with the second check valve 351 and the third check valve 322, ensures that the gas in the second container 36 flows only toward the turbine under test 200. The second flowmeter 7 monitors the gas flow in the second gas supply line 35. The turbine under test 200 serves as the test object. The fourth sensor group 38 monitors the state of the mixed gas entering the turbine under test 200. The mixed gas flows from the second check valve 351 and the second flowmeter 7 to the turbine under test 200, simulating the intake state of the turbine under test 200. The fifth sensor group 42 monitors the gas state at the outlet of the turbine under test 200. The eighth control valve 411 controls the loop flow and backpressure. The second muffler 44 reduces noise generated by the operation of the turbine under test 200. Testing of the turbine under test 200 can be achieved by varying the speed of the air supply compressor 33, the openings of the third control valve 311, the fourth control valve 321, and the eighth control valve 411.
[0083] The fuel cell air compressor test system in this embodiment can control the air compressor intake gas composition and simulate different intake air temperatures, humidity, pressures, etc. caused by factors such as altitude. It can also detect and protect against compressor surge.
[0084] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
