Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to fuel cell stack performance test technical field, especially relates to a kind of bubbling spray humidification device of fuel cell test bench. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the fuel cell stack production process, the performance of the stack needs to be detected and calibrated, and the bubbling humidification structure is the core humidification device in the test equipment, which provides stable humidification effect and arbitrary relative humidity for the fuel cell. The existing bubbling humidification structure is a single container filled with liquid water and glass beads at the bottom. The inlet gas is directly connected to the bottom of the container through a straight pipe and contacts with the small balls that can increase the evaporation area. Finally, the gas near the bubble is discharged through another pipe on the liquid surface. The advantage of this basic bubbling humidification structure is that the supersaturated condensate water generated during the humidification process can be quickly separated, reducing the problem of membrane electrode channel water blockage caused by condensate water entering the fuel cell, and the relative humidity is controlled by external circulation heating and heat exchange to control the water vapor mixture dew point temperature of the deionized water in the tank. However, the bubbling humidification structure has a significant decrease in humidification effect in high-power fuel test equipment, because the contact time between high-flow gas and water in the bubbling structure is reduced, which cannot achieve high-flow humidification effect, and is only suitable for small-flow fuel cell stacks, which has great limitations.
