Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of electric power technology, and in particular to a multi-stack fixed hydrogen fuel power generation system in a testing phase. Background Art
[0002] With increasingly stringent controls on carbon emissions and strong support for hydrogen power generation, fixed hydrogen fuel power generation systems are favored by enterprises, universities, science and technology parks, etc. for their high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and renewable energy. Among them, efficiency is the most important concern for customers.
[0003] A hydrogen fuel cell stack generates electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and air in a certain ratio. The pressure and flow of hydrogen and air entering the stack directly affect the system's power generation efficiency. High-power hydrogen fuel cell stacks usually use a multi-stack stacking method, and the hydrogen and air supply method is a total and branch form, that is, hydrogen and air are supplied through their respective main pipes and branch pipes. Currently, the test only refers to the pressure and flow on the main pipe, and then subjectively believes that the pressure and flow of the gas entering each stack are equal. However, in reality, the pressure and flow on each branch pipe are not equal to the pressure and flow on the main pipe, but the tester cannot observe it intuitively, and using the same pressure and flow data for the hydrogen fuel cell stack will lead to the risk of improper use of the stack and low conversion efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the main purpose of this application is to provide a multi-stack fixed hydrogen fuel power generation system in the testing phase, so as to achieve the purpose of regulating the pressure of the main pipeline by intuitively observing the intake pressure of each unit stack, thereby improving the power generation efficiency.
[0005] The present application provides a multi-stack fixed hydrogen fuel power generation system in a testing phase, which comprises:
[0006] A hydrogen fuel cell stack comprising a plurality of unit stacks arranged in parallel;
[0007] The main air supply pipeline is connected to a plurality of air supply branch pipelines, which are respectively connected to the air inlet ends of the plurality of unit fuel cell stacks. The air outlet ends of the plurality of unit fuel cell stacks are respectively connected to a plurality of air circulation branch pipelines, which are connected to the main air circulation pipeline. A manifold is provided on the air supply branch pipeline, and a pressure sensor is installed on the manifold. An air compressor and a back pressure valve are provided on the main air supply pipeline.
[0008] The hydrogen supply main pipeline is connected to a plurality of hydrogen supply branch pipelines, which are respectively connected to the hydrogen inlet ends of the plurality of unit fuel cells. The hydrogen outlet ends of the plurality of unit fuel cells are respectively connected to a plurality of hydrogen circulation branch pipelines, which are connected to the hydrogen circulation main pipeline. An ejector valve group is provided on the hydrogen supply main pipeline.
[0009] The coolant supply main pipeline is connected to a plurality of coolant supply branch pipelines, which are respectively connected to the coolant inlet ends of the plurality of unit fuel cell stacks, and the coolant outlet ends of the plurality of unit fuel cell stacks are respectively connected to a plurality of coolant circulation branch pipelines, which are connected to the coolant recovery main pipeline. Temperature sensors and pressure sensors are provided on the air supply main pipeline, the hydrogen supply main pipeline and the coolant supply main pipeline;
[0010] The controller is electrically connected to the pressure sensor, the air compressor, the back pressure valve, the ejector valve group and the temperature sensor respectively.
[0011] As described above, a manifold is set in each branch pipe of the main air supply pipe, and a pressure sensor is installed on the manifold. The controller is electrically connected to each pressure sensor, so that the air pressure entering each unit stack can be visually detected. According to the cross-sectional area of the branch pipe of the main air supply pipe, the controller can calculate the air flow entering each unit stack. This is because when the pipe and medium are fixed, the gas flow changes with the change of gas pressure, so only the pressure needs to be adjusted here. The controller sets the hydrogen path to follow the air path according to the program, and then the controller visually displays the pressure on each branch pipe. The controller controls the air pressure entering each unit stack by adjusting the air compressor and back pressure valve on the main air supply pipe. Through the program setting of the hydrogen path following the air path, by adjusting the ejector valve group, the gas pressure entering each unit stack is finally adjusted, and the gas flow entering each unit stack also changes accordingly.
[0012] Optionally, a plurality of unit battery stacks are vertically arranged in sequence in a box body, and a plurality of partitions are provided in the box body, each partition separating two adjacent unit battery stacks in a vertical direction.
[0013] As shown above, multiple unit battery stacks arranged in parallel can reduce the space occupied; by vertically arranging multiple unit battery stacks in the box, the three-dimensional space is fully utilized, the structure is more compact, maintenance and inspection are convenient, and the space utilization efficiency is improved, which is especially suitable for application scenarios with limited space.
[0014] Optionally, along the flow direction of hydrogen, at a position before the branch pipe of the hydrogen supply main pipeline, a hydrogen filter, a hydrogen heat exchanger, an ejector valve group, a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor are sequentially provided, and the hydrogen circulation main pipeline is connected to the ejector valve group.
[0015] As shown above, the hydrogen filter can keep the hydrogen clean, the hydrogen heat exchanger can adjust the temperature of the hydrogen before it enters the unit stack to ensure that it is in the best working condition; the ejector valve group can adjust the hydrogen supply according to actual needs, and the temperature sensor and pressure sensor detect and feedback the system status, which helps to automatically adjust the ejector valve group; by connecting the hydrogen circulation main pipeline to the ejector valve group, the effective reuse of incompletely reacted hydrogen is promoted and hydrogen loss is reduced.
[0016] Optionally, along the direction of air flow, at a position before the branch pipe of the air supply main pipe, an air filter, a flow meter, an air compressor, an intercooler, a humidifier, a throttle, a back pressure valve, a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor are provided in sequence, and the air circulation main pipe is connected to the air compressor, which is used for energy recovery.
[0017] As shown above, the air filter is located at the air inlet, which can effectively block pollutants such as dust and particulate matter in the air. The air flow on the air supply main pipeline is detected by the flow meter. The air compressor compresses the air to the required pressure, and the intercooler quickly reduces the air temperature after compression to reduce the impact of the heat generated by compression on the system efficiency. The humidifier ensures that the air reaches the ideal humidity level before entering the unit battery stack and optimizes the electrochemical reaction conditions. The throttle adjusts the inlet and outlet airflow of the humidifier to ensure that the humidity of the air is appropriate; the air compressor and back pressure valve can adjust the air pressure in the pipeline. By connecting the air circulation main pipeline to the air compressor, the recovery and recompression of underutilized air are promoted.
[0018] Optionally, a coolant filter, a three-way valve, a water pump, a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor are sequentially provided on the coolant supply main pipeline, and the coolant recovery main pipeline is connected to the three-way valve.
[0019] As shown above, the coolant filter can effectively remove impurities and sediments in the coolant; the three-way valve flexibly adjusts the coolant flow direction and flow rate according to system requirements to maintain efficient heat dissipation; the water pump provides the necessary power support for heat dissipation; the configuration of temperature sensors and pressure sensors enables the system to monitor the temperature and pressure status of the coolant.
[0020] Optionally, lifting rings are provided around the top of the box body for lifting the box body.
[0021] As shown above, the setting of the lifting ring allows the box to be easily lifted by a crane or other lifting equipment. Whether it is initial installation, position adjustment or movement during regular maintenance, it can significantly improve the convenience and safety of operation and reduce manpower requirements.
[0022] Optionally, a refill port is provided on the coolant supply main pipeline, and the position of the refill port is set between the three-way valve and the water pump.
[0023] As described above, the coolant can be quickly replenished through the provided refill port to avoid system overheating due to insufficient coolant, protect the fuel cell stack and other high-temperature components from damage, and ensure the continuous and stable operation of the system.
[0024] Optionally, the pressure sensor is sealed to the manifold by a ferrule.
[0025] As described above, through the elastic deformation of the ferrule, a tight mechanical interlock and seal is formed between the manifold and the pressure sensor, effectively preventing gas leakage and maintaining a good sealing effect even in high pressure or vibration environments.
[0026] Optionally, the branch pipes corresponding to the air supply main pipe, the hydrogen supply main pipe and the coolant supply main pipe are all arranged on one side of the interior of the box.
[0027] From the above, by arranging the various branch pipes in an orderly manner on one side of the box, technicians can quickly locate the area that needs attention without having to search for scattered pipes around the box, which greatly saves maintenance time and improves work efficiency.
[0028] Optionally, the branch pipes corresponding to the air supply main pipe, the hydrogen supply main pipe and the coolant supply main pipe are of the same size.
[0029] From the above, since the sizes of the branch pipes are the same, the controller can calculate the flow rate on each branch pipe based on the air pressure of each branch pipe on the main air supply pipe.
[0030] In summary, the multi-stack fixed hydrogen fuel power generation system in the test phase provided by the present application is a high-power hydrogen fuel cell stack composed of multiple unit stacks arranged in parallel, which reduces the floor space. A manifold is set in each branch pipe of the air supply main pipeline, and a pressure sensor is installed on the manifold. The controller is electrically connected to each pressure sensor, and the air pressure entering each unit stack can be visually detected. According to the cross-sectional area of the branch pipe of the air supply main pipeline, the controller can calculate the air flow entering each unit stack. This is because when the pipeline and the medium are fixed, the gas flow changes with the change of the gas pressure, so only the pressure needs to be adjusted here. The controller sets the hydrogen path to follow the air path according to the program, and then the controller intuitively displays the pressure on each branch pipe, and the controller controls the air pressure entering each unit stack by adjusting the air compressor and back pressure valve on the air supply main pipeline. Through the program setting of the hydrogen path following the air path, by adjusting the ejector valve group, the gas pressure entering each unit stack is finally adjusted, and the gas flow entering each unit stack also changes accordingly.

The controller is electrically connected to each pressure sensor, and the air pressure entering each unit cell stack can be visually detected. Based on the cross-sectional area of the branch pipe of the main air supply pipe, the controller can calculate the air flow rate entering each unit cell stack. This is because when the pipe and the medium are fixed, the gas flow rate changes with the change of the gas pressure, so only the pressure needs to be adjusted here.
